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

Keep them apart

Apply [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) first and [isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) at different times of day because alcohol dries out skin and ruins the hydration. Alcohol strips away moisture and fights the plumping effects of hyaluronic acid, leaving skin dry and irritated. The shopper can switch to an alcohol-free product or space them out by several hours.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use hyaluronic acid and isopropyl alcohol together?

No, you should keep [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) apart in your routine because alcohol dehydrates the skin and reduces the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid.

### Which goes first, hyaluronic acid or isopropyl alcohol?

Keep hyaluronic acid and isopropyl alcohol apart because high amounts of alcohol dehydrate the skin and reduce the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid.

### Are hyaluronic acid and isopropyl alcohol good for sensitive skin?

Keep hyaluronic acid and isopropyl alcohol apart because alcohol dehydrates the skin and reduces the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid. Lovi rates this combination as a poor fit for sensitive skin.
