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

Pair and Blue Lagoon Iceland are two distinct skincare destinations offering dedicated paths to a balanced complexion. Pair is celebrated for targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) and meticulously crafted formulas like the Acne Cream W, suiting acne-prone skin best with gentle preparations that restore clarity. Conversely, the brand from Iceland is known for therapeutic masks and mineral-rich treatments such as the [Silica](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/silica) Mud Mask, Mineral Mask, and [Algae](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/algae) Mask, which suit sensitive, dry, and mature skin best by purifying, hydrating, and nourishing. While both seek to refine the skin, the Japanese brand focuses on resolving stubborn blemishes, whereas the Icelandic counterpart emphasizes mineral-based rejuvenation.

Pair is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 2000 and owned by Lion Corporation since 2004.
