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

FOREO and ELIDEL are distinct skincare names offering nourishing care for daily routines. The former is beloved for blending advanced moisturizers with nourishing formulas, while the Swiss brand founded in 2001 and owned by Viatris Inc. since 2016 is known for gentle moisturizers and soothing formulas. The products of the first suit all skin types best, offering tailored care for every complexion, whereas the preparations of the second suit sensitive, dry skin best due to their carefully balanced compositions. They differ in their standout offerings for acne-prone skin, with the SUPERCHARGED [SERUM](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) 2.0 coming from the first and the [Pimecrolimus](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/pimecrolimus) coming from the second.

ELIDEL is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Viatris Inc. since 2016.
