# Panthenol and citric acid Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/panthenol-and-citric-acid 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 in the same routine by applying [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/panthenol) after [citric acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/citric-acid), because panthenol helps calm any irritation caused by the acid. Panthenol soothes the skin and helps it recover, reducing the redness that citric acid might cause. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or use a gentler acid product. - [All about panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/panthenol) - [All about citric acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/citric-acid) ### [Panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/panthenol) products -
