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 at different times of day by applying peptides in the morning and [tretinoin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/tretinoin) at night to prevent irritation. Using both strong ingredients at the same time can cause your skin to become red, irritated, and sensitive. You can switch to a gentler peptide cream or wait longer between applying them to protect your skin barrier.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use tretinoin and peptide-rich plasma together?

You should keep [tretinoin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/tretinoin) and [peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/peptide-rich-plasma) apart in your routine because combining them may increase irritation. Alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning.

### Which goes first, tretinoin or peptide-rich plasma?

Keep tretinoin and peptide-rich plasma apart because combining them may increase skin irritation. Instead, alternate their usage by applying tretinoin in the PM and peptides in the AM.

### Are tretinoin and peptide-rich plasma good for sensitive skin?

No, you should keep tretinoin and peptide-rich plasma apart because combined stimulation may increase irritation. Alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
