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

FANCL and Eco Tan are distinct skincare brands offering thoughtful daily solutions for maintaining balanced skin. The Japanese brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kirin Holdings Company, Limited since 2024 is loved for its gentle makeup removers and exfoliants crafted from pure formulas, while the other is widely celebrated for its clarifying toners and botanical formulas. Both options suit sensitive and dry skin types best, though the former also suits normal skin and offers the Mild Cleansing Oil for skin with dark spots, whereas the latter suits combination skin and relies on natural [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/extract) to gently balance and refresh the complexion. For acne-prone skin, the former provides the Facial Washing Powder, while the latter offers the Face Tan [Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/water).
