# Avène vs Pixi

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/compare/avene-vs-pixi

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

Avène and Pixi are two distinct skincare lines established in Europe, with the French brand founded in 1990 and the British counterpart established in 1999. The former is universally loved for its versatile moisturizers, reliable sunscreens, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/serum), and gentle cleansers formulated with nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/glycerin), while the latter is beloved for its thoughtful range of toners, serums, eye products, and moisturizers relying on carefully balanced formulas. Products from the French line suit acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin best, offering profound relief without heaviness, whereas those from the British line suit sensitive skin and mature skin best. Both differ in their core offerings and ideal skin matches, as the former features expert formulations like the Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm, Cleanance, and [Hyaluron](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum where glycerin improves skin hydration and restores barrier function, while the latter features standout treatments such as the Glow Tonic, Glow Peel Pads, and [Retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/retinol) Tonic.

Avène is a French skincare brand founded in 1990 and owned by Fondation Pierre Fabre.
