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

Paula's Choice and Dermalogica are American skincare brands founded in 1995 and 1986, respectively, that both came under Unilever ownership. Paula's Choice features [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, and toners built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/vitamin-c), while Dermalogica offers targeted serums, nourishing moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and purifying masks formulated with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/salicylic-acid). The first brand fits oily skin and acne-prone skin best, whereas the second brand suits dry skin and oily skin best through formulations addressing specific needs. They differ in their standout products and exact ingredient profiles, utilizing glycerin to significantly increase skin hydration and restore barrier function.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
