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

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the peptide [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) first and following with the ceramide cream. Ceramides and peptides team up to strengthen your skin barrier and help it hold onto moisture better. You can safely use them together every day, but if your skin feels sensitive, try applying them on alternate nights.
