# Garnier vs NIVEA

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/garnier-vs-nivea

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

Garnier and NIVEA are trusted European skincare institutions founded at the turn of the twentieth century. The French brand is widely loved for its approachable range of makeup removers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), masks, and cleansers featuring [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin) and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/salicylic-acid), while the German brand is deeply loved for its reliable sunscreens, targeted serums, and nourishing moisturizers formulated with glycerin. The former suits oily acne-prone skin best, whereas the latter suits combination skin and sensitive skin best. They differ through their core ingredient profiles and resulting skin affinities, with both utilizing glycerin to increase stratum corneum hydration and barrier function.

Garnier is a French skincare brand founded in 1904 and owned by L'Oréal since 1965.
