Lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3

Lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying lactic acid in the morning and acetyl hexapeptide-3 at night, to prevent the acid from breaking down the peptide. The acidic lactic acid clashes with the peptide, ruining its firming benefits. You can separate them into different routines or give your skin time to adjust by using them on alternate nights.

Questions and answers

Can you use lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3 together?

Keep lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3 apart because the low pH of lactic acid can destabilize the peptide. Use them in separate steps or routines, such as morning and evening separation.

Which goes first, lactic acid or acetyl hexapeptide-3?

Keep lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3 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 may reduce the activity of the peptide.

Are lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3 good for sensitive skin?

Keep lactic acid and acetyl hexapeptide-3 apart in your routine because the low pH of the acid destabilizes the peptide.
