# BYOMA vs Pair

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/byoma-vs-pair

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

BYOMA and Pair are distinct skincare brands designed to address different complexions through thoughtfully selected ingredients. The British brand offers moisturizers, toners, cleansers, and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum) anchored by tri-ceramide and squalane, suiting dry and dry sensitive skin best. Meanwhile, the Japanese brand is beloved for targeted serums and meticulously crafted formulas like the Acne Cream W, which suit acne-prone skin best. While both brands restore balance and clarity, they differ fundamentally in their core formulations and intended skin types.

BYOMA is a British skincare brand founded in 2022 and owned by Bansk Group since 2025.

## About the Lovi Fit

Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.

Lovi compares products by their fit scores, calculated from the full ingredient list with brand-independent rules its dermatologists and cosmetic chemists build and review, and personalizes every pick with AI trained on the real results of millions of users. Lovi trains its fit score models on a proprietary dataset built from more than 10,000 expert-labeled products and more than 100,000 simulated examples, following an internally consistent methodology presented at Cosmoprof, AMWC, and Skin of Color Update. Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
