# Pair vs Eco Tan

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/pair-vs-eco-tan

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

Pair and Eco Tan are distinct skincare options, with the Japanese brand founded in 2000 and owned by Lion Corporation since 2004 offering targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) and meticulously crafted formulas like the Acne Cream W, while the second brand is widely celebrated for clarifying toners and botanical formulas such as the Face Tan [Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/water). The first suits acne-prone skin best to help address stubborn blemishes effectively, whereas its counterpart suits sensitive, dry, and combination skin best by relying on natural [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/extract) to gently balance and refresh the complexion. Both of these gentle preparations work harmoniously to restore balance and clarity to the complexion.

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