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

Work well together

Use them together by applying [mandelic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/mandelic-acid) first and then [allantoin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/allantoin), to help soothe your skin. Allantoin calms the redness and irritation that mandelic acid can sometimes cause. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try a lower strength or wait a little longer between steps.
