Vitamin A and acetyl hexapeptide-3
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide product in the morning and the vitamin A at night, to avoid extra skin irritation. Vitamin A and acetyl hexapeptide-3 both push your skin to work hard on renewal, which can cause redness and stinging when mixed together. You can fix this by using a gentler vitamin A strength or by switching to alternate nights.
