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

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

Pair and Endocare are two distinguished skincare lines originating from Japan and Spain, respectively. The Japanese brand, founded in 2000, offers targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) and meticulous formulas, such as the Acne Cream W, which suit acne-prone skin best by addressing stubborn blemishes and restoring balance. Conversely, the Spanish brand, established in 1996, provides nurturing moisturizers and sophisticated formulas utilizing advanced scientific ingredients, including the Tensage Cream, which suit mature and dry skin best. While both lines rely on gentle, harmonious preparations, they differ fundamentally in their core ingredients and ideal skin types.

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