# Bioderma vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/bioderma-vs-elemis

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Bioderma and Elemis are established European skincare houses that offer thoughtful arrays of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), cleansers, and more, enriched with nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin). Bioderma suits dry skin and combination skin best, whereas Elemis suits dry, balanced, and sensitive skin best thanks to deeper hydration from additional [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/shea-butter). The French brand relies on glycerin to improve hydration and restore barrier function for concerns like acne, dark spots, and aging, while the British brand harnesses both glycerin and shea butter to also reduce inflammation and relieve pruritus.

Bioderma is a French skincare brand founded in 1977 and owned by Jean-Noël Thorel Foundation since 2018.
