# Carnosine

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/carnosine

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France.

Clinical studies show that carnosine improves skin hydration, reinforces the skin barrier, and helps reduce wrinkles, spots, dryness, and skin reactivity. This gentle ingredient suits both dry skin and oily skin particularly well when applied through lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum). For best results, carnosine fits easily into a daily routine while being kept apart from [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid), AHA blends of glycolic and [citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/citric-acid), and [lactic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/lactic-acid).

Ingredient Together How to use them

[Glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid) Keep apart Use them at different times of day, applying [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid) first and carnosine later, because acids break down this peptide.

## Questions and answers

### What does carnosine do for the skin?

Carnosine helps improve skin hydration, reduce the look of wrinkles and spots, and lower skin reactivity. It also supports skin barrier function and helps reduce oxidative stress.

[Dermatology and Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915393/) [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18482014/)

### How do you use carnosine?

You use carnosine in a night cream nightly, or apply it at a different time of day than acids like glycolic, lactic, mandelic, or [citric acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/citric-acid) to protect the active formula. A night cream containing carnosine helps reduce skin reactivity, oxidative stress, and signs of photodamage.

[Dermatology and Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915393/) [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18482014/)

### Should you use carnosine in the morning or at night?

You can use carnosine at night, as seen in night creams that help reduce signs of photodamage and oxidative stress. You should keep it apart from certain acids like glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and citric acids by using them at different times of day or on alternate nights.

[Dermatology and Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915393/)

### Can you use carnosine every day?

Yes, you can use carnosine every day as part of your nightly routine when it is paired with [melatonin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/melatonin) and [Helichrysum italicum extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/helichrysum). Daily use helps reduce oxidative stress, improve hydration, and decrease wrinkles and spots over time.

[Dermatology and Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915393/)

### Does carnosine cause purging or irritation?

Carnosine is unlikely to cause irritation and actually helps lower skin reactivity and soothe sensitive skin. A night cream with carnosine may be used nightly to help reduce skin reactivity and signs of photodamage.

[Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18482014/) [Dermatology and Therapy, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915393/)

### Which skin types is carnosine best for?

Carnosine is best for dry, sensitive, and mature skin, where Lovi rates Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer as a Superior fit. For oily, combination, acne-prone, and dark spots, it is also a great choice with High-rated options like Olay Regenerating Cream Cleanser and Paula's Choice Advanced Replenishing Toner.

### Can you use carnosine with glycolic acid?

You can use carnosine and [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycolic-acid) at different times of day, applying glycolic acid first and carnosine later, because acids break down this peptide.
