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

When applied twice daily, this ingredient helps repair the skin barrier and visibly calms severe dryness and irritation. It suits both very dry skin and oily skin types, and is most commonly found in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum) and rich creams. Because it layers easily, it fits smoothly into any daily skincare routine.

This page shows epidermal growth factor products with a Lovi page. For every product, and a routine built for your skin, use the Lovi app.
