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 the peptide product in the morning and the [retinal](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinal) at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both active ingredients push your skin to renew itself quickly, which can easily cause redness and irritation when used together. You can avoid this by choosing a lower-strength formula or waiting longer between applications.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use retinal and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 together?

Keep [retinal](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinal) and [palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) apart in your routine because combining them may increase skin irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying your retinal at night and your peptides in the morning.

### Which goes first, retinal or palmitoyl tripeptide-1?

Keep retinal and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart by using them at different times, such as applying retinal in the evening and peptides in the morning.

### Are retinal and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 good for sensitive skin?

Keep retinal and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart in your routine because combining them may increase irritation. You can use retinal in your evening routine and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning instead.
