# Glycolic acid and taurine Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycolic-acid-and-taurine 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 [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycolic-acid) first and then [taurine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/taurine), since this helps keep your skin balanced and hydrated. Glycolic acid gently refreshes the surface while taurine helps protect your skin's natural moisture balance. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a gentler strength or waiting a little longer between applying them. - [All about glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycolic-acid) - [All about taurine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/taurine) ### [Glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycolic-acid) products - [The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/the-ordinary/glycolic-acid-7-toning-solution/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 38.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B0GK8JLTSS?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/roc/retinol-correxion-deep-wrinkle-night-cream/for/dark-spots) — High fit — [AED 129.48 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B00027DMI8?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/first-aid-beauty/kp-bump-eraser-body-scrub/for/dark-spots) — Average fit — [AED 99.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B095Z7HQP3?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/first-aid-beauty/facial-radiance-pads/for/sensitive-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 89.21 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B0G8TPX5DR?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/murad/rapid-dark-spot-correcting-serum/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit — [AED 329.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B08KR79NBR?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/skinbetter-science/alpharet-overnight-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [St. Ives Apricot Scrub](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/st-ives/apricot-scrub/for/dry-skin) — Average fit - [COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/cosrx/aha-bha-clarifying-treatment-toner/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 28.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B073P6BPF5?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/dr-dennis-gross/alpha-beta-universal-daily-peel/for/acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 397.98 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B0CSKS5X7X?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Pixi Glow Tonic](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/pixi/glow-tonic/for/oily-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 120.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B07MVYKLXT?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/good-molecules/overnight-exfoliating-treatment/for/oily-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 44.50 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B08TMDRF1L?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [CeraVe Skin Renewing Nightly Exfoliating Treatment](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/cerave/skin-renewing-nightly-exfoliating-treatment/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit ### [Taurine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/taurine) products - [EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/eltamd/skin-recovery-essence-toner/for/dry-skin) — High fit ## Questions and answers ### Can you use glycolic acid and taurine together?
