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

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying [azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/azelaic-acid) in the morning and [collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/collagen-peptide) at night, because acids ruin peptide strength. Acidic products break down peptides and stop them from working properly on your skin. You can use both by separating them into different steps of your daily routine.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use azelaic acid and collagen peptide together?

Keep [azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/azelaic-acid) and [collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/collagen-peptide) apart by using them in separate routines, such as applying one in the morning and the other at night. The acidic environment of azelaic acid can break down peptide bonds and reduce the effectiveness of your peptides.

### Which goes first, azelaic acid or collagen peptide?

Keep azelaic acid and collagen peptide apart by using them in separate steps or routines like AM and PM separation because low-pH acids can reduce peptide activity.

### Are azelaic acid and collagen peptide good for sensitive skin?

Keep azelaic acid and collagen peptide apart because low-pH acids like azelaic acid can reduce peptide activity. Use them in separate steps or routines, such as morning and evening separation.
