Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/vr-vs-theramid

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

VR and Theramid are skincare lines celebrated for their carefully designed formulas and advanced moisturizers. While VR suits combination, sensitive, and dry skin best, the Spanish brand from the Cosnova Group accommodates balanced, dry, combination, oily, and sensitive skin through thoughtfully composed products. The former features sensory moisturizers like the [PDRN](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/pdrn) CREAM for acne-prone skin, whereas the latter offers targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) such as the Ceramide Treatment, [Copper Peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/copper-peptide), and DERMA-PEPTIDES. Ultimately, they differ in their sensory focus and specialized treatments, meeting daily needs with remarkable precision.

Theramid is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 2022 and owned by Cosnova Group since 2026.
