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

Tromethamine leaves no visible skin effects according to current study findings. It suits most skin types best and typically comes formulated in [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum). It fits smoothly into a routine when used alongside [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycolic-acid), AHA blends of glycolic and [citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/citric-acid), and [lactic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/lactic-acid), while being kept apart from [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/vitamin-c).
