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

Carotone suits dry, normal, and combination skin best, featuring standout solutions like its Brightening Cream for acne-prone skin, while the Swiss brand NEOCUTIS suits mature, dry, and stressed skin best with deeply restorative choices such as the Bio Serum Firm for acne-prone skin and the lumière for dark spots.

By choosing between these lines, individuals can address specific concerns depending on their unique skin type.

NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
