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

Weleda and Rilastil are esteemed skincare brands rooted in meticulously balanced formulas. The Swiss brand, founded in 1921 and owned by Weleda AG, is widely loved for its rich moisturizers with gentle botanical bases that suit sensitive skin best, offering targeted relief for acne-prone skin with the Skin Food Light and addressing dark spots with the Skin Food. Meanwhile, the second brand is warmly loved for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) and a gentle yet deeply nourishing approach that suits sensitive, dry, and mature skin types best, featuring the Acnestil as the standout choice for acne-prone skin. Both brands differ in their specific formulations, yet each careful composition works to restore daily comfort and enhance natural resilience.
