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 NEOCUTIS are skincare brands that offer gentle and nourishing daily care for the complexion. The Greek botanical brand is warmly loved for its thoughtfully crafted moisturizers and cleansers, suiting sensitive and dry skin best, while the Swiss brand is widely beloved for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, suiting mature, dry, and stressed skin best. They differ primarily in their heritage and key formulations, with the former drawing on botanical traditions for offerings like the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream, Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser, and Bounce Firming Moisturizer, and the latter utilizing deeply restorative properties for choices like the Bio Serum Firm and lumière. Through these carefully selected offerings, both help restore natural radiance and deliver a balanced, healthy complexion.

NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
