# Adapalene and collagen peptide

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/adapalene-and-collagen-peptide

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

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying [collagen peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/collagen-peptide) in the morning and [adapalene](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/adapalene) at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth and firm the skin, but putting them on together can overwhelm your face and cause redness. You can safely keep both in your routine by using a gentler peptide product or simply waiting longer between applying them.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use adapalene and collagen peptide together?

Keep [adapalene](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/adapalene) and [collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/collagen-peptide) apart in your routine because combining them may increase skin irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.

### Which goes first, adapalene or collagen peptide?

Keep adapalene and collagen peptide apart in your routine because combining them may increase skin irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying adapalene in the evening and collagen peptides in the morning.

### Are adapalene and collagen peptide good for sensitive skin?

Keep adapalene and collagen peptide apart because combining them may increase skin irritation. You can alternate their usage by applying the retinoid at night and peptides in the morning.
