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

Pair and Ambi Skincare are two distinct brands known for their effective [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) and targeted formulas. Pair, a Japanese skincare line founded in 2000 and owned by Lion Corporation since 2004, suits acne-prone skin best with standout products like the Acne Cream W for targeted breakouts, whereas Ambi Skincare is warmly loved for suiting melanin-rich skin best with options like the Fade Cream. While both rely on gentle preparations to maintain a balanced complexion, they differ in their primary focus, as the former addresses stubborn blemishes and the latter caters to the specific needs of richer skin tones.

Pair is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 2000 and owned by Lion Corporation since 2004.
