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

KORRES and MAËLYS are distinct skincare lines celebrated for their specific botanical and advanced formulations. KORRES offers thoughtful moisturizers and gentle cleansers suited best for dry and combination skin, while MAËLYS delivers targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) and advanced formulas ideal for all skin types. Both brands provide specialized solutions, such as the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream and the TOO-FINE for acne-prone skin, alongside treatments like the Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser and the RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for dark spots. They differ primarily in their core offerings and ingredient heritage, with the first focusing on nourishing botanical preparations and the second specializing in targeted body and facial care.
