Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying panthenol first and acetyl hexapeptide-3 second, for better anti-aging and skin repair. Panthenol soothes your skin and helps the peptides work better to firm things up and smooth lines. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or look for gentler product strengths.
