# Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and microcapsule Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3-and-microcapsule The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy. Work well together Use them together in the same routine, applying the [microcapsule](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/microcapsule) first to help the peptide absorb better and last longer. Microcapsules protect the peptide from breaking down too quickly so your skin gets better results. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try using a gentler strength or waiting a few extra minutes between applying them. - [All about acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3) - [All about microcapsule](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/microcapsule) ### [Acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3) products - [The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/the-ordinary/multi-peptide-copper-peptides-1-serum/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€30.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0C9DXGXZ3?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/the-ordinary/multi-peptide-ha-serum/for/dry-skin) — Superior fit — [€17.89 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0BLHW7JZM?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Medik8 Liquid Peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/medik8/liquid-peptides/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Average fit — [€109.17 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0DSJNWVV6?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [La Mer The Treatment Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/la-mer/the-treatment-lotion/for/mature-skin) — Superior fit — [€148.20 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0B61KKT4K?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/rhode/peptide-glazing-fluid/for/mature-skin) — High fit - [The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10%](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/the-ordinary/argireline-solution-10/for/mature-skin) — Average fit — [€10.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B072JH13CD?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Good Molecules Super Peptide Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/good-molecules/super-peptide-serum/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€27.95 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B091MTKS35?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/clinique/smart-clinical-repair-wrinkle-correcting-serum/for/mature-skin) — Average fit — [€88.99 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B09FG8TJDD?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [La Mer The Renewal Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/la-mer/the-renewal-oil/for/mature-skin) — High fit - [Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/estee-lauder/micro-essence-treatment-lotion/for/oily-acne-prone-skin) — Superior fit — [€58.65 at Lookfantastic](https://www.lookfantastic.it/p/estee-lauder-micro-essence-treatment-lotion-fresh-with-sakura-ferment-various-sizes/13496504/) - [The INKEY List Collagen Peptide Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/the-inkey-list/collagen-peptide-serum/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — High fit - [La Mer The Eye Concentrate](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/la-mer/the-eye-concentrate/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [€180.90 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.it/dp/B085614WX5?tag=lovi-care-web-product09-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ### [Microcapsule](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/microcapsule) products - [Perricone MD Chlorophyll Detox Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/p/perricone-md/chlorophyll-detox-mask/for/combination-skin) — Average fit ## Questions and answers ### Can you use acetyl hexapeptide-3 and microcapsule together?
