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 peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/collagen-peptide) in the morning and [retinal](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinal) at night to avoid skin irritation. Using both strong retinoids and peptides at the same time can cause extra irritation and redness. The shopper can switch to a gentler retinal strength or separate them into morning and evening routines.

## Questions and answers

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

You should keep [retinal](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinal) and [collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/collagen-peptide) apart in the same routine because combining them may increase irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying the retinal at night and collagen peptide in the morning.

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

You should keep retinal and collagen peptide apart in the same routine because combining them may increase irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying retinal in the evening and collagen peptide in the morning.

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

No, you should keep retinal and collagen peptide apart because combined stimulation may increase irritation on sensitive skin. Alternate your usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
