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

Simple and Yepoda are distinct skincare brands designed for gentle, effective daily care. Simple is a British brand known for its nourishing moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners formulated with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin), which suit oily acne-prone and sensitive skin best. Yepoda is a German brand recognized for thoughtful cleansers and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) featuring carefully composed formulas for delicate barriers. While both offer reliable, soothing results, they differ through their specific product selections and founding heritages.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
