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

Pair and Yepoda are distinct skincare brands offering targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), cleansers, and meticulously crafted formulas. Pair suits acne-prone skin best with products like Acne Cream W, whereas the German brand suits those seeking gentle yet effective daily care with options like The Repair Hero and The Bubble Double. While the Japanese brand focuses on addressing stubborn blemishes effectively, the latter brand relies on carefully composed formulas for soothing results.

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