Silk amino acids and hexapeptide-9
Work well together
Use them together by applying the silk amino acids first and the hexapeptide-9 right after, because they help each other boost skin firmness and moisture. The silk amino acids give your skin the building blocks it needs while the hexapeptide-9 supports firming proteins for a smoother, well-hydrated look. You can keep using them both together, but if your skin feels sensitive, just apply them on alternate days instead.
