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

BABOR and Environ are skincare brands known for bringing calm and balance to the complexion through carefully crafted treatments. The German brand, founded in 1956 and owned by the BABOR BEAUTY GROUP since 1962, is deeply loved for its refined exfoliants and rich moisturizers, while the other is widely loved for its luxurious masks and advanced formulas. The former suits dry, normal, and combination skin best, and its standout products include the Enzyme Cleanser for acne-prone skin and the Hydra Plus for skin with dark spots. Meanwhile, its counterpart suits sensitive, dry, and mature skin best, featuring the Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque as a standout product for acne-prone skin, with both working to gently support overall skin health.
