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

Green [clay](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/clay) deeply hydrates the skin, locks in moisture, and helps protect against the sun without causing irritation. It suits most skin types and is available in convenient [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum). Because it layers easily, it fits simply into any daily routine.
