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 by applying [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin) first and then the [tri-ceramide complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/tri-ceramide-complex), because humectants attract moisture while ceramides lock it in. Glycerin pulls [water](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/water) into the skin so the ceramides can seal it there for long-lasting hydration. The shopper can use more time between applying the two products or switch to a gentler strength if needed.
