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

Beauty of Joseon and SK-II are esteemed Asian skincare lines, with the former being a Korean label founded in 2016 and the latter a Japanese house established in 1980. The Korean brand is celebrated for its thoughtful [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), masks, moisturizers, and sunscreens featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/niacinamide), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), while SK-II is known for luxurious moisturizers, potent serums, rejuvenating masks, and clarifying toners powered by its signature ingredient, pitera. While Beauty of Joseon suits dry and sensitive skin best, the Japanese line seamlessly adapts to combination, oily, normal, and dry complexions. Ultimately, they differ through their distinct heritage and active agents, as niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid nourish sensitive skin, whereas pitera improves pore area, roughness, and redness.

Beauty of Joseon is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by Goodai Global Inc. since 2019.
