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

Phloretin helps skin look clearer and calmer by visibly reducing redness, blemishes, oiliness, and signs of sun damage. It suits most skin types best and is commonly found in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum). It fits easily into a daily routine because it works well with [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/vitamin-c).
