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

Simple and Ere Perez are established skincare brands known for their gentle daily formulations. The British line, owned by Unilever PLC since 1960, is celebrated for its soothing moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), which suit oily and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the second brand offers thoughtful moisturizers and clean preparations that support daily balance and suit sensitive, dry, and combination skin best. While both cater to complexions needing care, they differ primarily in their key ingredients and targeted skin types.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
