# The Ordinary vs Beauty of Joseon

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/the-ordinary-vs-beauty-of-joseon

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

The Ordinary and Beauty of Joseon are distinct skincare brands founded in 2016 that offer targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, and cleansers built around shared key ingredients like [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide). The Canadian line fits dry skin and oily, acne-prone skin best through potent formulas, while the Korean brand suits dry skin and sensitive skin best with gentle daily care. Both utilize glycerin to increase skin hydration and barrier function, yet they differ in their cultural origins, corporate ownership, and specific standout solutions for aging, dark spots, and texture.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
