# Retinol and collagen peptide Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol-and-collagen-peptide The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France. Depends on the strength Use them at different times of day, applying [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) at night and peptides in the morning, to get the best anti-aging results safely. Retinol boosts cell renewal while peptides help build firm, smooth skin, working together for better results without clashing. If your skin feels sensitive, try a lower strength or wait a few minutes between steps. - [All about retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) - [All about collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/collagen-peptide) ### [Retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) products - [CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/cerave/resurfacing-retinol-serum/for/dark-spots) — High fit — [€14.20 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0B913JC2W?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/roc/retinol-correxion-deep-wrinkle-night-cream/for/dark-spots) — High fit — [€36.56 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0GXBBV93V?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Paula's Choice 1% Retinol Treatment](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/1-retinol-treatment/for/dark-spots) — Superior fit — [€57.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07P6M914G?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/roc/retinol-correxion-line-smoothing-eye-cream/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€52.90 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BLJ396QC?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/good-molecules/gentle-retinol-cream/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€18.95 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B09BST7MMP?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/la-roche-posay/retinol-b3-serum/for/dark-spots) — Average fit — [€44.16 at Lookfantastic](https://www.lookfantastic.fr/p/la-roche-posay-retinol-b3-anti-wrinkle-anti-ageing-serum-with-retinol-and-vitamin-b3-suitable-for-sensitive-skin-30ml/12382710/) - [DRMTLGY Retinol Body Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/drmtlgy/retinol-body-lotion/for/mature-skin) — Average fit - [RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/roc/retinol-correxion-deep-wrinkle-serum/for/oily-skin) — Average fit — [€32.49 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B08GGDY1M6?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/cerave/skin-renewing-retinol-serum/for/dark-spots) — Average fit — [€25.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0FHPRRNX8?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturizer](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/olay/regenerist-retinol-24-night-moisturizer/for/mature-skin) — Superior fit — [€35.64 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0852NRDYN?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [cocokind Retinol Body Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/cocokind/retinol-body-cream/for/mature-skin) — Average fit - [Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/neutrogena/rapid-wrinkle-repair-regenerating-cream/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€43.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0725JP4TN?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ### [Collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/collagen-peptide) products - [SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/skinmedica/tns-advanced-serum/for/mature-skin) — High fit - [Hero Mighty Patch](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/hero/mighty-patch/for/sensitive-skin) — High fit - [The INKEY List Collagen Peptide Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/the-inkey-list/collagen-peptide-serum/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/olay-regenerist/collagen-peptide-24-serum/for/dry-skin) — High fit - [No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/no7/protect-and-perfect-intense-advanced-night-cream/for/mature-skin) — Superior fit — [€29.48 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B09NQCNPJT?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 MAX Face Moisturizer](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/olay/regenerist-collagen-peptide-24-max-face-moisturizer/for/dry-skin) — High fit — [€44.90 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B08RZZZP3J?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Olay Collagen Peptide 24 Eye Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/olay/collagen-peptide-24-eye-cream/for/mature-skin) — Superior fit ## Questions and answers ### Can you use retinol and collagen peptide together? Yes, you can use [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) and [collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/collagen-peptide) together depending on the strength, and products like No7 Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate or No.7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Night Concentrate combine them. This combination helps enhance [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/collagen) synthesis and reduce irritation. ### Which goes first, retinol or collagen peptide? It depends on the retinol strength, so use them at separate times of day or alternate usage when using strong retinoids. Combining them helps enhance collagen synthesis and reduces irritation, and you can find them together in No7 Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate and No.7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Night Concentrate. ### Are retinol and collagen peptide good for sensitive skin? Combining retinol and collagen peptide depends on the strength, as strong retinoids may increase irritation on sensitive skin. Alternate usage, such as applying a retinoid at night and peptides in the morning, helps manage tolerance. ## Research on retinol and collagen peptide - [Molecular basis of retinol anti-ageing properties in naturally aged human skin in vivo](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261203/) Retinol · International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017 -
