Potassium hydroxide and peptide-rich plasma
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide product first and the potassium hydroxide later, because they clash and ruin results. High alkalinity makes peptides lose their stability and stop working well on the skin. The shopper can separate them by using one in the morning and the other at night.
