Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Garnier and ILIA Beauty are two distinct cosmetics lines, with the former being a French skincare brand founded in 1904 and owned by L'Oréal since 1965, and the latter being a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2011 and owned by Famille C since 2022. The former brand is widely loved for its approachable range of makeup removers, serums, masks, cleansers, and more, which feature thoughtful formulations centered on glycerin and salicylic acid, while the latter is widely loved for its thoughtful moisturizers and the nourishing nature of its formulas. Because of these distinct compositions, the French brand suits oily acne-prone skin and acne-prone skin best, whereas the Canadian brand suits dry, normal, and combination skin best. Ultimately, they differ in their specific targeted ingredients and the skin types they serve, with the former brand utilizing glycerin to significantly increase skin hydration and barrier function and salicylic acid to significantly reduce acne lesions and relapses.
