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

FANCL and Biluma are gentle skincare brands known for their thoughtful formulations and reliable daily care. The Japanese pioneer relies on pure ingredients to craft mild makeup removers and exfoliants, while the Indian label offers sophisticated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum). Both brands suit sensitive and dry skin best, though they differ as the former also targets normal and acne-prone types with specialized powders and oils, and the latter accommodates combination skin through targeted creams.

FANCL is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kirin Holdings Company, Limited since 2024.
