Squalene and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the squalane after the peptide. The squalane helps your skin absorb the peptide better while keeping it soft and strong. You can use a lighter moisturizer or wait a few minutes between steps if your skin feels overloaded.
