Potassium hydroxide and copper peptide
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first, because high alkalinity ruins the peptide. Mixing them destroys the peptide's ability to firm and smooth your skin. You can use a gentler strength or space them out by several hours.
