# The Ordinary vs La Roche-Posay

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/the-ordinary-vs-la-roche-posay

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 La Roche-Posay are accessible skincare brands offering diverse [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, and cleansers built around beneficial ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [thermal water](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/thermal-water), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide). The Canadian brand centers on active compounds suited for dry and oily acne-prone skin, while the French label relies on gentle formulations designed primarily for sensitive and dry skin. Both options differ in their specific targeted solutions, with the former featuring specialized acid treatments and the latter focusing on barrier-supporting options.

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