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

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the acid blend first and the [arginine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/arginine) afterward to keep skin comfortable. The acid blend gently smooths and refreshes the surface, while arginine helps keep your skin feeling calm and hydrated. If your skin feels too tingly, try using them on alternate nights or switch to a milder formula.
