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 the peptide [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) in the morning and the retinoid at night, to avoid extra skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth the skin, and combining them at the same time can cause redness and stinging. To get the best results without irritation, use a gentler product or simply wait longer between applying them.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use granactive retinoid and peptide-rich plasma together?

No, you should keep [granactive retinoid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/granactive-retinoid) and [peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/peptide-rich-plasma) apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation. Instead, you can alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning.

### Which goes first, granactive retinoid or peptide-rich plasma?

Keep granactive retinoid and peptide-rich plasma apart in your routine because combining them may increase irritation. Alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.

### Are granactive retinoid and peptide-rich plasma good for sensitive skin?

Keep granactive retinoid and peptide-rich plasma apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
