# Niacinamide and vitamin E

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/niacinamide-and-vitamin-e

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

Work well together

Use them together in your morning routine by applying your [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/niacinamide) first and [vitamin E](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/vitamin-e) right after, because they boost each other's sun-protecting power. Vitamin E helps fight daily skin damage while niacinamide makes your natural defenses even stronger. You do not need to change anything unless your skin feels sensitive, in which case you can wait a few minutes between them.
