# Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and theanine

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 in the same routine, applying the peptide product first followed by the amino acid product for best hydration and repair. [Palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) helps firm the skin, while [theanine](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/theanine) boosts moisture and supports the peptide's anti-aging effects. You can use your normal strength for both, but if your skin feels sensitive, apply them on alternate nights or wait a few minutes between steps.
