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

Silicone visibly flattens scars, improves skin color, and softens raised areas for a smooth, even look. It suits most skin types and comes in easy-to-use [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/serum). It fits simply into a daily routine because it layers smoothly with other products.

Silicone is best for skin with scars as it helps reduce scar pigmentation, height, and pliability. You can use it in products like ScarAway Scar Gel to manage and improve the appearance of various scars.
