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

NIVEA MEN and Trilogy are distinct skincare options rooted in reliable moisturizers, effective cleansers, and skin-friendly formulas. The German brand founded in 1922 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004 suits normal, dry, and sensitive skin best, featuring standout solutions like the Maximum Hydration Moisturizing Face Wash and the Sensitive Post Shave Balm. Meanwhile, the other line is built on high-performing compositions that suit dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best through thoughtful choices such as the [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/vitamin-c) Ceramide Night Cream, the [Rosehip](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/rosehip-oil) Cream Cleanser, and the Line Smoothing Day Cream. They primarily differ in their foundational heritages, ingredient designs, and specific targeted solutions for mature, acne-prone, or dark-spotted complexions.
