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

Keep them apart

Apply them at different times of day, using the peptide first and the alcohol later, because heavy alcohols can break down the peptide structure. The strong alcohol cancels out the firming benefits of the peptide, leaving your skin without the anti-aging results you want. You can fix this by using a gentler formula or waiting a few hours between applying each product.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use acetyl hexapeptide-3 and behenyl alcohol together?

Keep [acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3) and [behenyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/behenyl-alcohol) apart because strong alcohols may break down the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness. If you use both, apply them in separate routines to protect your skin.

### Which goes first, acetyl hexapeptide-3 or behenyl alcohol?

Keep acetyl hexapeptide-3 and behenyl alcohol apart because strong alcohols may denature peptide structure and reduce bioavailability. Use them in separate routines to maintain their effectiveness.

### Are acetyl hexapeptide-3 and behenyl alcohol good for sensitive skin?

Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and behenyl alcohol should be kept apart because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its bioavailability. This separation helps maintain the effectiveness of the peptide, especially for dry and sensitive skin types.
