# Green tea and niacinamide

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/green-tea-and-niacinamide

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

Work well together

Use them together in your morning routine, applying your [green tea](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/green-tea) product first and your [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide) [serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) right after for an extra shield against daily sun damage. Green tea and niacinamide team up to calm redness and protect your skin against everyday pollution and stress. If your skin ever feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate days or wait a few extra minutes between steps.
