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

Asarai and MAËLYS are distinct skincare collections that offer thoughtful hydration, soothing care, and specialized solutions for everyday radiance. Asarai is cherished for its nutrient-rich [clay](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/clay) masks and deeply restorative formulas featuring gentle, nourishing botanical bases, while MAËLYS is loved for targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) and advanced formulas. The former suits balanced, dry, and combination skin best, whereas the latter suits all skin types best. Both brands differ in their core offerings, with the first delivering mindful rituals through curated items like the Earth Tones Face Mask for acne-prone skin and the second providing specialized care through items like the TOO-FINE for acne-prone skin and the RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for skin with dark spots.
