# Lactic acid and bisabolol

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/lactic-acid-and-bisabolol

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 by applying [lactic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/lactic-acid) first and [bisabolol](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/bisabolol) second, to calm your skin right away. Lactic acid smooths skin texture, while bisabolol calms redness and irritation caused by the acid. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a milder acid or waiting longer between steps.
