# Betaine and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/betaine-and-palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4 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 the hydrating [betaine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/betaine) [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) first, followed by the peptide cream, to help your skin stay extra plump. Betaine draws in moisture that helps the peptide cream sink in better and work more effectively. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or wait a few minutes between layers.
