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

Shiseido Senka and BIOEFFECT are two distinct skincare lines offering targeted solutions for daily routines. The Japanese brand is known for its dependable cleansers and gentle formulas that suit normal, dry, oily, and combination skin best, with the Perfect Whip standing out for acne-prone skin. Meanwhile, the second brand is cherished for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) and advanced formulas that suit mature skin best, featuring the EGF Serum for acne-prone concerns. While both provide refined care, they differ primarily in their specialized product types and ideal skin types.

Shiseido Senka is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Bain Capital since 2026.
