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

NIOD and NEOCUTIS are skincare brands known for sophisticated formulas that deliver targeted results and nurture the complexion. The Canadian brand offers advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) and balancing toners featuring key ingredients like Modulating Glucosides and [Superoxide Dismutase](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/superoxide-dismutase) Saccharide Mist, while the Swiss brand provides refined serums and moisturizers including Bio Serum Firm and lumière. Both suit mature and dry skin, though the former also suits sensitive skin and the latter suits stressed skin. While the former focuses on scientifically rigorous development, the latter emphasizes deeply restorative properties.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
