Retinoid blend and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying the peptide serum in the morning and the retinoid blend at night to avoid irritation. Using both potent skin-smoothers in the same routine can overwhelm your skin and cause redness or irritation. You can easily fix this by applying your peptide product in the morning and saving your retinoid blend for your nighttime routine.
