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

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide in the morning and the retinoid at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both active ingredients push your skin to renew itself quickly, which can easily cause redness and irritation when used together. You can avoid this by splitting them up into separate morning and night routines.

## Questions and answers

### Can you use granactive retinoid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 together?

Keep [granactive retinoid](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/granactive-retinoid) and [palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) apart in your routine because combining them may increase irritation. Try using your retinoid in the evening and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning.

### Which goes first, granactive retinoid or palmitoyl tripeptide-1?

Keep granactive retinoid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart by using them at different times of day, such as applying your retinoid in the evening and your peptides in the morning.

### Are granactive retinoid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 good for sensitive skin?

Granactive retinoid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 should be kept apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Instead, alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
