# Isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol-and-palmitoyl-tripeptide-1

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 first, because alcohol can ruin the peptide. Alcohol breaks down the peptide structure so your skin misses out on the firming benefits. You can switch to a gentler alcohol-free product or space them out.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 together?

No, you should keep [isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) and [palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) apart in your routine because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its bioavailability.

### Which goes first, isopropyl alcohol or palmitoyl tripeptide-1?

Keep isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart because alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce how well it works. If you use both in your routine, apply them at different times.

### Are isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 good for sensitive skin?

No, isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 should be kept apart because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its bioavailability, which is especially problematic for dry, sensitive skin.
