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

Topical application of glyceryl glucoside draws moisture deep into the skin to significantly improve hydration, strengthen the protective barrier, and noticeably smooth away dryness and roughness. It suits almost all skin types and is commonly found in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum). Because of its gentle texture, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
