# Glycerin and hexapeptide

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 your [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) hydrating [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) first, followed by your [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hexapeptide) product, because hydration helps the peptides absorb better. Glycerin draws in moisture to plump your skin, while hexapeptides help smooth the look of fine lines and support firmness. You can adjust your routine by using a gentler hydrating product or waiting a minute between layers if your skin feels sensitive.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use glycerin and hexapeptide together?

Yes, [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) and [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hexapeptide) work well together because combining them enhances hydration and supports peptide delivery. Lovi gives this pairing a High fit rating.

### Which goes first, glycerin or hexapeptide?

Glycerin goes first by layering a hydrating [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) beneath your peptide product to enhance hydration and peptide delivery. This combination helps support barrier integrity for all skin types, especially dry and mature skin.

### Are glycerin and hexapeptide good for sensitive skin?

Glycerin and hexapeptide work well together because combining them enhances hydration and peptide diffusion while supporting barrier integrity for all skin types. This pairing may improve skin comfort and help maintain moisture when used as directed.
