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.

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day with [copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/copper-peptide) first, because mixing them directly can make the ingredients inactive. Copper peptides and [zinc](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/zinc) can cancel each other out, meaning the shopper gets fewer skin benefits from both products. The shopper can separate them by using one in the morning and the other at night to get the best results.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use zinc and copper peptide together?

Keep [zinc](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/zinc) and [copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/copper-peptide) apart in your routine because unchelated metal ions may [complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/complex) with peptides and reduce their biological activity.

### Which goes first, zinc or copper peptide?

Keep zinc and copper peptide apart in your routine because unchelated metal ions may complex with peptides and reduce their biological activity. Use them at separate times of day to ensure full effectiveness.

### Are zinc and copper peptide good for sensitive skin?

Keep zinc and copper peptide apart in your routine because they may bind together and become inactive. You should avoid using them at the same time to ensure they work properly on your skin.
