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

VR and Yepoda are distinct skincare brands that offer thoughtful daily care through carefully composed formulas and considered design. The German brand Yepoda, founded in 2020 and owned by Verlinvest since 2026, is widely loved for its cleansers and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), featuring standout creations like The Repair Hero for acne-prone skin and The Bubble Double for dark spots. Meanwhile, skincare enthusiasts deeply appreciate VR for the sensory pleasure of its moisturizers, including the [PDRN](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/pdrn) CREAM as its standout solution for acne-prone skin. While both consistently support the skin with reliable, soothing results, the former suits those seeking gentle daily care best, and the latter suits combination, sensitive, and dry skin best.

Yepoda is a German skincare brand founded in 2020 and owned by Verlinvest since 2026.
