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

Sand & Sky and Blume are distinct skincare lines created to address specific complexion needs. Sand & Sky is beloved for its purifying masks and targeted formulas, such as the [Australian Pink Clay](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/pink-clay) Porefining Face Mask, using botanical ingredients to gently clarify and balance the complexion for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand founded in 2018 is widely loved for its nourishing moisturizers and thoughtful formulas, including the Meltdown Gel Cream, supporting a balanced and healthy complexion for sensitive, acne-prone, and dry skin best. While both cater thoughtfully to acne-prone skin, they differ in their primary botanical ingredients and ideal skin types.

Blume is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2018.
