# Azelaic acid and copper peptide Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/azelaic-acid-and-copper-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 [azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/azelaic-acid) in the morning and [copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/copper-peptide) at night, because acids break down peptides. Acidic products can weaken peptides and make them less effective on the skin. The shopper can separate them into different routines or wait longer between applications. - [All about azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/azelaic-acid) - [All about copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/copper-peptide) ### [Azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/azelaic-acid) products -

Keep [azelaic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/azelaic-acid) and [copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/copper-peptide) apart because low-pH acids can reduce peptide activity when used in the same routine. Separate them by using azelaic acid in one routine and copper peptide in another, such as alternating morning and evening. ### Which goes first, azelaic acid or copper peptide? Keep azelaic acid and copper peptide apart by using them in separate routines, such as applying one in the morning and the other at night. Acidic environments can lower the effectiveness of peptides when used directly together. ### Are azelaic acid and copper peptide good for sensitive skin? Keep azelaic acid and copper peptide apart because low-pH acids should not be combined directly with peptides in the same routine, though they are otherwise suitable for all skin types especially sensitive skin when used in separate steps or routines like AM and PM separation. ## Research on azelaic acid and copper peptide -
