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

Work well together

Use them together by applying your acid blend first and your [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin) [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) right after, because the glycerin instantly replenishes lost moisture. The acid blend gently exfoliates while the glycerin draws in hydration to keep your skin comfortable. If your skin feels too sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler acid strength.
