Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and potassium hydroxide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying acetyl hexapeptide-3 first and potassium hydroxide later, because they clash in acidity. The strong alkalinity breaks down the peptide, making it completely useless on your skin. You can space them out into separate routines or switch to a gentler product.
