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

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/niacinamide) first and [zinc gluconate](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/zinc-gluconate) second, because they work as a team to keep skin clear. Niacinamide helps calm the skin while [zinc](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/zinc) controls excess oil and shine. If your skin feels too dry or sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler product.
