Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/niacinamide-and-bakuchiol

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

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/niacinamide) first to calm the skin and support the barrier before smoothing on [bakuchiol](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/bakuchiol). Niacinamide calms redness and strengthens the skin, which helps bakuchiol work smoothly without causing irritation. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler product.
