# Retinol and tri-ceramide complex Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol-and-tri-ceramide-complex The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France. Work well together Use them together in the same routine, applying [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) first and following with the ceramide cream, because ceramides help soothe and protect dry skin. Retinol can dry out your skin, while ceramides restore moisture and comfort to keep your skin barrier happy. You can use a lower strength of retinol or add time between applications if your skin feels sensitive. - [All about retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/retinol) - [All about tri-ceramide complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/tri-ceramide-complex) ### [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) ### [Tri-ceramide complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/tri-ceramide-complex) products - [BYOMA Hydrating Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/hydrating-serum/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — Superior fit - [BYOMA Moisturizing Gel-Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/moisturizing-gel-cream/for/mature-skin) — High fit - [BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/creamy-jelly-cleanser/for/dry-skin) — High fit - [BYOMA Brightening Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/brightening-serum/for/dry-skin) — High fit - [BYOMA Balancing Face Mist](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/balancing-face-mist/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit - [BYOMA Milky Moisture Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/milky-moisture-cleanser/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit - [BYOMA Clarifying Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/clarifying-serum/for/dry-skin) — High fit — [€27.85 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0C7C8BZLM?tag=lovi-care-web-product06-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [BYOMA Moisturizing Rich Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/moisturizing-rich-cream/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit - [BYOMA De-Puff + Brighten Eye Gel](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/byoma/de-puff-brighten-eye-gel/for/dry-skin) — High fit ## Questions and answers ### Can you use retinol and tri-ceramide complex together?
