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

Biore and Silka are two distinct skincare lines known for their effective formulas and thoughtful ranges of products. Biore, a Japanese brand founded in 1980 by Kao Corporation, offers sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and makeup removers that suit sensitive and combination skin best. Meanwhile, the second brand provides [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) and soaps, delivering gentle and reliable care for balanced, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. While both rely on gentle yet thorough care for daily routines, they differ in their specific product lineups and targeted solutions.
