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

Goldenseal leaf [extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/extract) clears harmful bacteria, blocks toxins, and protects skin cells from damage. It suits most skin types and is most commonly found in soothing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum). Because it layers easily, it fits seamlessly into any daily skincare routine.
