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

BABOR and Hanhoo are skincare brands offering thoughtful formulas that elevate daily routines through reliable care. The German brand, founded in 1956 and owned by the BABOR BEAUTY GROUP since 1962, is known for its refined exfoliants and rich moisturizers, while the other is celebrated for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum). Both suit dry and combination skin best, though the former also suits normal skin and the latter supports sensitive skin. They differ primarily in their standout problem-solving items, with the first offering the Enzyme Cleanser and Hydra Plus for specific concerns, and the second featuring the Blemish Patch and T-Zone Pore Patch.
