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

Pair and Environ are two distinct skincare lines known for their meticulously crafted formulas and thoughtful approach to complexion care. Pair is beloved for its targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), featuring products like the Acne Cream W that suit acne-prone skin best to help address stubborn blemishes effectively. Conversely, the brand known as Environ is widely loved for its luxurious masks and advanced treatments, such as the Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque, which suit sensitive, dry, and mature skin best. While both brands work harmoniously to gently support overall skin health and restore clarity, they differ in their standout products and the specific skin types they serve.

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