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.

KORRES and ILIA Beauty are thoughtfully crafted botanical skincare lines known for nourishing moisturizers and gentle formulas. The Greek brand suits sensitive and dry skin best with ingredients like Santorini [grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/grape), Greek yoghurt, and botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/extract), while the Canadian brand suits dry, normal, and combination skin best with hydrating compositions such as The Base Face Milk. While both deliver reliable daily care for a balanced complexion, they differ in their specific botanical heritages and targeted standout products.
