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

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the [cholesterol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/cholesterol) first and the peptide second to help your skin absorb both better. Cholesterol helps the peptide sink in deeper to make your skin feel stronger and look smoother. You do not need to change anything since this combination is very gentle.
