Zinc sulfate and palmitoyl tripeptide-1

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first, because they cancel each other out. Mixing them makes both ingredients less effective on your skin, so you get fewer anti-aging and healing benefits. Space them out into separate morning and evening routines to get the best results from each product.
