AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply the glycolic and citric acids in the morning and the palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 at night, because acids break down the peptide bonds. The strong acid mix destroys the peptide, making it unable to smooth fine lines or firm the skin. The shopper can separate them into different routines or use a gentler acid strength.
