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

Work well together

Use them together by applying the acid first and the antioxidant [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum) right after, because antioxidants protect freshly exfoliated skin. The exfoliating acid smooths the skin, while the antioxidant protects against environmental damage and irritation. If skin feels sensitive, try using a lower strength acid or waiting a few minutes between steps.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use aha blend glycolic and citric acids and ferulic acid together?

Yes, you can use an [aha blend glycolic and citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/aha-blend-glycolic-and-citric-acids) and [ferulic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/ferulic-acid) together because they work well by enhancing post-exfoliation protection from oxidative stress. Ferulic acid helps shield the skin during the recovery step after using the exfoliating acids.

### Which goes first, aha blend glycolic and citric acids or ferulic acid?

Aha blend glycolic and citric acids should go first, while ferulic acid follows in a recovery step.

### Are aha blend glycolic and citric acids and ferulic acid good for sensitive skin?

AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and ferulic acid work well together to enhance post-exfoliation protection from oxidative stress. This combination helps all skin types, especially photoaged skin, by pairing antioxidants after exfoliation when the skin is more vulnerable.
