# Benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide-and-hexapeptide The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Spain. Keep them apart Apply them at different times of day, using [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) in the morning and [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide) at night, because heat and certain harsh conditions can break down the peptide. Benzoyl peroxide can degrade the peptide, making it less effective and reducing the anti-aging benefits you see on your skin. You can switch to a gentler strength or space the products further apart in your routine. - [All about benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) - [All about hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide) ### [Benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) products - [Proactiv Renewing Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/proactiv/renewing-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Average fit - [Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/clean-and-clear/persa-gel-10/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit - [Differin Daily Deep Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/differin/daily-deep-cleanser/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Average fit - [Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/neutrogena/clear-pore-cleanser-mask/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit — [€3.95 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B082VMNCNV?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Proactiv Repairing Treatment](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/proactiv/repairing-treatment/for/oily-skin) — High fit - [Paula's Choice Clear Daily Skin Clearing Treatment](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/paula-s-choice/clear-daily-skin-clearing-treatment/for/acne-prone-skin) — Average fit - [Galderma Epiduo Gel](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/galderma/epiduo-gel/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit - [Galderma Benzac AC 5](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/galderma/benzac-ac-5/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit - [CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/cerave/acne-foaming-cream-cleanser/for/oily-skin) — High fit — [€10.95 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B7RQ46LD?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Galderma Benzac AC Mild Strength 2.5% Acne Gel](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/galderma/benzac-ac-mild-strength-2-5-acne-gel/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit - [PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/panoxyl/acne-foaming-wash/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — High fit — [€18.69 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B081KL2QYJ?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/panoxyl/acne-creamy-wash/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Average fit ### [Hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide) products - [SkinCeuticals P-TOX](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/skinceuticals/p-tox/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€150.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0FPFJ16KT?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ## Questions and answers ### Can you use benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide together? Keep [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) and [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide) apart because combining them may destabilize the ingredients. Use them in separate routines to ensure best results. ### Which goes first, benzoyl peroxide or hexapeptide? Keep benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide apart by using them in separate routines because benzoyl peroxide may degrade peptides and accelerate oxidation. ### Are benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide good for sensitive skin? Keep benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide apart in your skincare routine. Benzoyl peroxide helps improve acne, while hexapeptide may provide anti-wrinkle effects.
