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

Asarai and BABOR are distinguished skincare brands that elevate daily routines with thoughtful formulations and mindful rituals. Asarai is cherished for its nutrient-rich [clay](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/clay) masks and deeply restorative botanical formulas, while the German-founded BABOR is deeply loved for its refined exfoliants and rich moisturizers. Both brands suit dry, normal, and combination skin best, owing to their gentle yet effective nature. They differ primarily in their origins and specific treatments, as the former delivers targeted care through soothing botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/extract), and the latter brings a sense of calm to the complexion with consistent care.

BABOR is a German skincare brand founded in 1956 and owned by BABOR BEAUTY GROUP since 1962.
