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

Shiseido Senka and Mesoestetic are distinct skincare brands originating from Japan and Spain respectively. The Japanese brand is beloved for its dependable cleansers and gentle formulas that suit normal, dry, oily, and combination skin best, featuring the Perfect Whip for acne-prone skin. Meanwhile, the Spanish brand is known for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) and meticulously crafted formulas that suit mature, sensitive, and uneven skin best, with the Cosmelan 2 as its standout solution for stubborn blemishes. While both leave the complexion balanced, they differ in their heritage, foundational product types, and targeted skin concerns.

Shiseido Senka is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Bain Capital since 2026.
