# Magnesium Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada. Magnesium strengthens the skin barrier, enhances hydration, reduces roughness and redness, relieves dryness and lesion severity, and visibly brightens stubborn dark spots. This gentle mineral suits almost all skin types and is most commonly formulated into soothing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum). When adding magnesium to your daily regimen, simply apply it apart from [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides), [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hexapeptide), and [acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3). This page shows magnesium products with a Lovi page. For every product, and a routine built for your skin, use the Lovi app. ### Popular magnesium products - [Minimalist Vitamin B5 10% Moisturizer](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/minimalist/vitamin-b5-10-moisturizer/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [CA$11.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09Q3MWP2S?tag=lovi-care-web-product01-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ## All magnesium products - Minimalist · Moisturizing serum: [Vitamin B5 10% Moisturizer](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/minimalist/vitamin-b5-10-moisturizer/for/mature-skin) - Vichy · Soothing Toner: [Mineralizing Thermal Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/vichy/mineralizing-thermal-water/for/sensitive-skin) ## What to combine magnesium with Ingredient Together How to use them [Bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) Keep apart Use them at different times of day, applying the peptides in the morning and magnesium at night, because mixing them makes both less effective.

Magnesium helps improve skin barrier function, enhances skin hydration, and reduces inflammation and roughness in dry or irritated skin. It may also help reduce melanin levels in melasma patients when used in specialized treatments. ### How do you use magnesium? You can use magnesium at night to help improve skin hydration and barrier function. When using peptides, apply them in the morning and magnesium at night to keep them apart because mixing them makes the peptides less effective. ### Should you use magnesium in the morning or at night? You can use magnesium at night, particularly when pairing it with peptides which should be applied in the morning to prevent them from becoming less effective. Using magnesium may also help improve skin hydration and barrier function. ### Can you use magnesium every day? Yes, you can use magnesium every day to help improve skin barrier function, enhance hydration, and reduce inflammation. Topical magnesium is generally well-tolerated and supports overall skin health with daily application. ### Does magnesium cause purging or irritation? Magnesium is unlikely to cause purging and helps reduce irritation and redness, while improving skin hydration and barrier function. ### Can you use magnesium with bio-placenta peptides? No, you should keep magnesium and [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) apart by using them at different times of day, applying the peptides in the morning and magnesium at night, because mixing them makes both less effective. ## Combining magnesium - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-acetyl-hexapeptide-3) - Keep them apart: [Bio-placenta peptides and magnesium](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides-and-magnesium) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-collagen-peptide) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-copper-peptide) - Keep them apart: [Hexapeptide and magnesium](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hexapeptide-and-magnesium) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-hexapeptide-9) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-peptide-rich-plasma) - Keep them apart: [Magnesium and triple peptide blend](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/magnesium-and-triple-peptide-blend) ## Brands with magnesium - Indian skincare: [Minimalist](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/minimalist) - French skincare: [Vichy](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/vichy) ## Related ingredients - [Bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) - [Hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hexapeptide) - [Acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3) - [Collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/collagen-peptide) - [Copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/copper-peptide) - [Hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) - [Peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/peptide-rich-plasma) - [Triple peptide blend](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/triple-peptide-blend) - [Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4) - [Palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
