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

BABOR and Rilastil are esteemed European skincare lines known for thoughtful formulas that elevate daily routines. The German brand, founded in 1956, is deeply loved for its refined exfoliants and rich moisturizers, suiting dry, normal, and combination skin best. Meanwhile, the second line is warmly appreciated for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) and meticulously balanced compositions, which suit sensitive, dry, and mature skin types. While both offer gentle yet effective care to restore comfort, they differ in their standout offerings and ideal skin profiles.

BABOR is a German skincare brand founded in 1956 and owned by BABOR BEAUTY GROUP since 1962.
