Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and behenyl alcohol
Keep them apart
Apply them at different times of day, using the peptide first and the alcohol later, because heavy alcohols can break down the peptide structure. The strong alcohol cancels out the firming benefits of the peptide, leaving your skin without the anti-aging results you want. You can fix this by using a gentler formula or waiting a few hours between applying each product.
