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

Yepoda and Principia are two distinct skincare brands recognized for their thoughtful cleansers and precise formulas. The German brand, founded in 2020 and owned by Verlinvest since 2026, relies on carefully composed formulas in its [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum) and cleansers, best suiting those seeking gentle yet effective daily care. Meanwhile, the other brand offers targeted care that suits balanced to oily skin best, helping maintain a healthy, balanced complexion. Ultimately, they differ in their specific standout offerings, such as Yepoda featuring The Repair Hero and The Bubble Double for acne-prone skin and dark spots, and Principia featuring the Gel de Limpeza GL-01 for acne-prone skin.
