Benzoyl peroxide and peptide-rich plasma: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide serum in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night, because they clash and cancel each other out. Benzoyl peroxide can break down and weaken the firming power of peptides, making both products less effective on your skin. You can switch to a lower strength of benzoyl peroxide or wait longer between applying them.
