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 by applying the acid first and the [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/panthenol) right after, because panthenol calms any redness from the acid. The acid smooths and brightens your skin, while panthenol adds moisture and stops the acid from causing stinging or redness. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try a lower strength of acid or give your skin more time between applications.

## Questions and answers

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

Yes, [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/panthenol) and an AHA blend of glycolic and [citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/citric-acid) work well together because panthenol helps support barrier recovery and reduces the irritation risk from AHAs.
