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.

Depends on the strength

Use them at different times of day with [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/retinol) at night and peptides in the morning because strong ingredients can cause skin irritation. Retinol speeds up cell renewal while peptides help build firm skin, which works well together for anti-aging results. If skin feels sensitive, try a lower strength or wait longer between applying them.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use retinol and bio-placenta peptides together?

Whether you can use [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/retinol) and [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) together depends on the strength of the retinoid. Strong retinoids should be avoided or separated from peptides because combined stimulation may increase irritation, so you can alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning.

### Which goes first, retinol or bio-placenta peptides?

Whether retinol or bio-placenta peptides goes first depends on the retinol strength, as combining strong retinoids with peptides may increase irritation. For high-strength retinoids, it is best to alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning, while milder retinol and peptide pairings can be layered together.

### Are retinol and bio-placenta peptides good for sensitive skin?

Yes, but it depends on the strength of the retinol because combining strong retinoids with peptides may increase irritation on sensitive skin. To avoid this, alternate their usage by applying the retinoid at night and peptides in the morning.
