Azelaic acid and hexapeptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use azelaic acid and hexapeptide at different times of day, applying the acid in the morning and the peptide at night, because mixing them together makes the peptide lose its power. Azelaic acid creates a sour environment on the skin that breaks down the peptide molecules and stops them from working properly. The shopper can change their routine by applying the acid in the morning and the peptide at night, or by using them on alternate days.

Which goes first, azelaic acid or hexapeptide?

Keep azelaic acid and hexapeptide apart by using them in separate steps or routines, such as applying one in the morning and the other at night. Combining them directly in the same routine should be avoided because low-pH acids can reduce peptide activity.
