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

Polylactic acid supports skin by visibly improving the look of firmness, smooth texture, and healthy volume over time. It suits most skin types and is available in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum). Because of its gentle texture, it layers easily into your daily skincare routine.

## Questions and answers

### What does polylactic acid do for the skin?

Polylactic acid helps stimulate [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/collagen) production in the skin to improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It acts gradually over time as a biocompatible filler to restore volume and smooth texture.

### How do you use polylactic acid?

Polylactic acid is typically used as a professional dermal filler administered by a qualified practitioner to help stimulate collagen production and smooth wrinkles. Because it works gradually over a series of treatments, visible improvements may develop over several months.

### Should you use polylactic acid in the morning or at night?

Polylactic acid may be used at either time of day depending on your routine and product instructions. It helps improve skin texture and firmness over time.

### Can you use polylactic acid every day?

Polylactic acid is typically not used every day because it is a professional dermal filler or specialized treatment rather than a daily topical skincare product.

### Does polylactic acid cause purging or irritation?

Polylactic acid is unlikely to cause purging, as it is not an exfoliating acid that accelerates cell turnover.

### Which skin types is polylactic acid best for?

Polylactic acid helps exfoliate the skin and is found in the Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator.
