# Hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hexapeptide-9-and-isopropyl-alcohol The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates. Keep them apart Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first and the alcohol later, because the alcohol ruins the peptide. The strong alcohol breaks down the firming peptide before it can smooth wrinkles on your skin. You can switch to a gentler product or wait longer between applying them. - [All about hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) - [All about isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) ### [Hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) products - [Elemis Pro-Collagen Night Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/elemis/pro-collagen-night-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin) — Superior fit — [AED 771.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B00175YVOS?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/murad/cellular-hydration-repair-serum/for/acne-prone-skin) — High fit - [MARY & MAY 6 Peptide Complex Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/mary-and-may/6-peptide-complex-serum/for/mature-skin) — High fit — [AED 55.13 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B095YHYF33?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) ### [Isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) products - [Mario Badescu Drying Lotion](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/mario-badescu/drying-lotion/for/oily-skin) — High fit — [AED 81.50 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B0017SWIU4?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Avène Cleanance Comedomed Anti-Blemish Concentrate](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/avene/cleanance-comedomed-anti-blemish-concentrate/for/acne-prone-skin) — Average fit — [AED 97.00 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B0CQ8G72J9?tag=lovi00-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) - [Menarini A-Ret Gel](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/menarini/a-ret-gel/for/oily-skin) — High fit ## Questions and answers ### Can you use hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol together? No, you should keep [hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) and [isopropyl alcohol](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/isopropyl-alcohol) apart because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness on your skin. ### Which goes first, hexapeptide-9 or isopropyl alcohol? Keep hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol apart in your routine because high solvent activity from alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness. ### Are hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol good for sensitive skin? No, you should keep hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol apart in your skincare routine because high solvent activity may denature the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness. This is especially important for dry, sensitive skin. ## Research on hexapeptide-9 and isopropyl alcohol - [Novel Cyclized Hexapeptide-9 Outperforms Retinol Against Skin Aging: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Active- and Vehicle-Controlled Clinical Trial](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40586182/) Hexapeptide-9 · Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025 ## Other combinations -
