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

Biore and Valmont are established skincare names, with the former founded in Japan in 1980 by Kao Corporation and the latter originating in Switzerland in 1985. The Japanese line is beloved for thoughtful sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and makeup removers driven by effective formulas, while the Swiss brand is widely loved for luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas. The former suits sensitive skin and combination skin best with standout solutions like the UV Aqua Rich for acne-prone skin, the Makeup Remover Perfect Oil for skin with dark spots, and the Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser for mature skin, whereas the latter suits mature and dehydrated skin best with standout products like the Prime Renewing Pack for acne-prone skin. While both deliver gentle care, they differ because the former offers reliable daily care and the latter focuses on lasting comfort.

Biore is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kao Corporation.
