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

No7 and Blume are distinct skincare brands founded respectively in Britain in 1935 and in Canada in 2018. The British brand offers [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), eye products, moisturizers, sunscreens, and more built around [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/vitamin-c), [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/shea-butter), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), suiting mature skin and dry skin best through formulations like the Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand is widely loved for its nourishing moisturizers and thoughtful formulas featuring the standout Meltdown Gel Cream, which suit sensitive, acne-prone, and dry skin best. While both support a healthy complexion, the brands differ primarily in their heritage, ingredient profiles, and target skin types.
