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 blend in the morning and the retinoid at night, to avoid extra skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth the skin, and using them together can be too strong. You can easily switch to using a gentler strength or space them out into separate routines.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use hydroxypinacolone retinoate and triple peptide blend together?

Keep [hydroxypinacolone retinoate](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hydroxypinacolone-retinoate) and [triple peptide blend](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/triple-peptide-blend) apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation. You can alternate their usage by applying the retinoid at night and peptides in the morning.

### Which goes first, hydroxypinacolone retinoate or triple peptide blend?

Keep hydroxypinacolone retinoate and triple peptide blend apart in your routine by using the retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning. Combining them together may increase skin irritation.

### Are hydroxypinacolone retinoate and triple peptide blend good for sensitive skin?

Keep hydroxypinacolone retinoate and triple peptide blend apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation on sensitive skin. Alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning.
