Retinal and copper peptide
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying your copper peptide in the morning and your retinal at night to avoid skin irritation. Using both strong ingredients at the same time can overwhelm your skin and cause redness or irritation. You can safely use both by switching to a gentler strength or waiting longer between applications.

Questions and answers
Can you use retinal and copper peptide together?
No, you should keep retinal and copper peptide apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation. Alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
Which goes first, retinal or copper peptide?
Keep retinal and copper peptide apart by using them in separate routines, such as applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning, to help avoid increased skin irritation. Combining these powerful ingredients in the same routine may over-stimulate mature or sensitive skin.
Are retinal and copper peptide good for sensitive skin?
Keep retinal and copper peptide apart in your routine because combined stimulation may increase irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Alternate their usage by applying your retinoid in the evening and peptides in the morning.
