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

[Silk](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/silk) amino acids help the skin heal faster, form more [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/collagen), and recover without irritation. They suit most skin types and typically come in [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum). You can easily use them in your daily routine alongside [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycolic-acid), [aha blend glycolic and citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/aha-blend-glycolic-and-citric-acids), and [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides).
