# Estée Lauder vs Olay

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/compare/estee-lauder-vs-olay

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

Estée Lauder and Olay are two esteemed skincare brands offering comprehensive ranges of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/serum), eye products, and cleansers. The American brand founded in 1946 relies on [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/glycerin), while the latter warmly pairs [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin to support various skin needs. Both suit acne-prone skin and mature skin best, though they differ through their distinct formulations and standout targeted solutions.

Estée Lauder is an American skincare brand founded in 1946 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
