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

[Black currant](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/black-currant) seed oil successfully weaves its essential and other fatty acids into dry skin to enhance protective moisture barriers and deliver visibly softer results. It suits almost all skin types and is most commonly found in nourishing facial [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/serum). Because of its light texture, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
