Hexapeptide and granactive retinoid: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide serum in the morning and the retinoid at night, to avoid extra skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth the skin, but mixing them at the exact same time can overwhelm your face and cause redness. You can safely keep both in your routine by switching to a gentler strength or simply leaving more time between the two applications.
