Retinal and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide product in the morning and the retinal at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both active ingredients push your skin to renew itself quickly, which can easily cause redness and irritation when used together. You can avoid this by choosing a lower-strength formula or waiting longer between applications.
