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 by applying the [mandelic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/mandelic-acid) first, because they hydrate and balance the skin. The acid gently smooths the surface while the amino acids boost moisture so the skin stays calm and soft. If you notice any dryness, try a gentler strength or space the products further apart in your routine.
