Betaine and peptide-rich plasma
Work well together
Use betaine first to hydrate the skin, followed by the peptide serum to boost absorption and firmness. Betaine draws in moisture to help the peptide serum sink in deeper and work more effectively. You can keep using both as normal, but just apply the hydrating betaine layer first.
