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

Anessa and ELIDEL are distinct skincare brands offering specialized formulations for daily care. The Japanese brand founded in 1992 is known for advanced sunscreens with key ingredients that suit all skin types best, featuring the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk for acne-prone skin and the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel for skin with dark spots. Conversely, the Swiss brand founded in 2001 is celebrated for gentle moisturizers and soothing formulas, such as [Pimecrolimus](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/pimecrolimus) for acne-prone skin, which suit sensitive, dry skin best. They differ primarily in their product types and targeted skin needs, with both providing reliable daily maintenance.

Anessa is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1992 and owned by Shiseido Company, Limited.
