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

Keep them apart

Use them on alternate nights, applying [copper](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/copper) first and [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hexapeptide) later, because they can cancel each other out. Combining these ingredients can trigger a reaction that stops them from working properly on your skin. You can easily fix this by using a gentler strength or waiting longer between them.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use hexapeptide and copper together?

No, you should keep [hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hexapeptide) and [copper](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/copper) apart in your routine because they may react, causing oxidation or inactivation of the [copper complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/complex). Use them in alternating routines to avoid potential issues.

### Which goes first, hexapeptide or copper?

Keep hexapeptide and copper apart by using them in alternating routines because combining them may cause oxidation or inactivation of the copper complex.

### Are hexapeptide and copper good for sensitive skin?

No, hexapeptide and copper should be kept apart in your skincare routine because they may react and lose their effectiveness, especially on sensitive skin. Use them in alternating routines to avoid any oxidation issues.
