# Cholesterol and hexapeptide-9 Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/cholesterol-and-hexapeptide-9 The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Spain. Work well together Use them together in the same routine, applying the [cholesterol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/cholesterol) cream first and the peptide [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) right after. Cholesterol helps your skin absorb the firming peptides much better so they can work more effectively. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or wait a few minutes between steps. - [All about cholesterol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/cholesterol) - [All about hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) ### [Cholesterol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/cholesterol) products - [CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/cerave/hydrating-facial-cleanser/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit — [€8.85 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07C5R51Q9?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/cerave/daily-moisturizing-lotion/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit — [€9.75 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07CG2TD9F?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/illiyoon/ceramide-ato-concentrate-cream/for/dry-skin) — High fit — [€21.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B077RTL1HJ?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/skinceuticals/triple-lipid-restore-2-4-2/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit — [€160.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07VSC5L1H?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Cetaphil Ceramide Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/cetaphil/ceramide-serum/for/acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit - [Curél Deep Moisture Spray](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/curel/deep-moisture-spray/for/dry-skin) — High fit — [€22.79 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0FXVZGD4V?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [CeraVe Comforting Eye Makeup Remover](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/cerave/comforting-eye-makeup-remover/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [Thayers Barrier Bestie Ultra Whip Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/thayers/barrier-bestie-ultra-whip-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [Ceradan Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/ceradan/cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [Ceradan Skin Barrier Repair Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/ceradan/skin-barrier-repair-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [Neostrata Resurface Lotion Plus](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/neostrata/resurface-lotion-plus/for/combination-skin) — Average fit - [Aestura Ato Barrier 365 Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/aestura/ato-barrier-365-lotion/for/sensitive-skin) — Average fit ### [Hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) products - [Elemis Pro-Collagen Night Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/elemis/pro-collagen-night-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — Superior fit — [€89.95 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00175YVOS?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/murad/cellular-hydration-repair-serum/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit - [MARY & MAY 6 Peptide Complex Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/p/mary-and-may/6-peptide-complex-serum/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€12.90 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B095YHYF33?tag=lovi-care-web-product05-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ## Questions and answers ### Can you use cholesterol and hexapeptide-9 together?
