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

Topical 0.005 percent [sodium](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/sodium) hypochlorite solution applied for one month visibly clears acne by decreasing the total number of papules and pustules compared to a placebo. This gentle treatment suits most skin types well and is available in convenient [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum). It fits easily into a routine when kept apart from [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/vitamin-c), [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides), and [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/hexapeptide).

## Questions and answers

### What does bleach do for the skin?

Bleach helps decrease the total number of papules and pustules when used for mild to moderate acne.

[Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34123555/)

### How do you use bleach?

Bleach may be applied at night for one month to help decrease mild to moderate acne papules and pustules. When using [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/vitamin-c) or peptides, keep them apart by applying those ingredients in the morning and bleach at night.

[Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34123555/)

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

You should use bleach at night, especially when pairing it with vitamin C or peptides which are applied in the morning. This routine helps avoid ingredient clashes that can cancel out their benefits.

### Can you use bleach every day?

Yes, you can use bleach every day as a topical solution, and studies show it helps decrease acne breakouts over the course of a month.

[Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34123555/)

### Does bleach cause purging or irritation?

Bleach may help treat acne by reducing bumps and pimples. However, it is unlikely to cause purging, though individual irritation can still happen.

[Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34123555/)

### Which skin types is bleach best for?

[Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34123555/)

### Can you use bleach with vitamin C?

No, you cannot use bleach and vitamin C together because they cancel each other out. Use them at different times of day, applying vitamin C in the morning and bleach at night.
