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

The Ordinary and Aēsop are two distinct skincare lines known for their specialized approaches. The Canadian brand offers [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane, suiting dry and sensitive skin best, while the botanical-driven maker features thoughtful compositions that suit balanced, combination, and sensitive skin. They differ primarily in their ingredient focus and sensory design, allowing each to meet unique skincare preferences.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
