# Hexapeptide and theanine

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hexapeptide-and-theanine

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, because they help each other keep your skin hydrated and firm. The peptide helps firm and repair the skin, while the amino acid boosts moisture and prep work so the peptide works better. You can use your normal strength, but if your skin feels sensitive, just wait a few minutes between applying them.
