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

Hexapeptide visibly softens wrinkles, smooths skin roughness, eases post-treatment tenderness, and boosts skin hydration. It suits most skin types best and is commonly found in nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum). It fits smoothly into a routine alongside [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/panthenol), [green tea](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/green-tea), and ceramide-building complexes, while remaining separate from [adapalene](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/adapalene), [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycolic-acid), and [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide).

## Questions and answers

### What does hexapeptide do for the skin?

Hexapeptide helps decrease skin roughness and improves wrinkles when used consistently. Studies show it can produce significant anti-wrinkle effects and improve skin hydration over several weeks of treatment.

[American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23417317/) [Annals of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33911590/)

### How do you use hexapeptide?

You can use hexapeptide twice daily to help reduce wrinkles and smooth the skin. Applying it regularly supports anti-aging benefits and improves overall skin firmness.

[American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23417317/)

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

You can use hexapeptide twice daily as it helps produce an anti-wrinkle effect and decreases skin roughness.

[American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23417317/)

### Can you use hexapeptide every day?

Yes, you can use hexapeptide twice daily for effective anti-wrinkle care and reduced skin roughness.

[American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23417317/)

### Does hexapeptide cause purging or irritation?

Hexapeptide is unlikely to cause purging or irritation when used properly. According to Lovi fit ratings, it is often paired carefully with other ingredients to maintain skin comfort.

### Which skin types is hexapeptide best for?

Hexapeptide is suitable for various skin types when used with compatible ingredients like [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) or [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/panthenol) to help firm and hydrate the skin.

[Annals of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33911590/)

### Can you use hexapeptide with panthenol?

Yes, you can use hexapeptide and panthenol together in the same routine, applying panthenol first to calm the skin and hexapeptide second to firm it.

### Can you use hexapeptide with adapalene?

You should keep hexapeptide and [adapalene](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/adapalene) apart. Use them at different times of day by applying your peptide product in the morning and adapalene at night to avoid skin irritation.
