Hexapeptide and phytosphingosine
Work well together
Use them together by applying the hexapeptide first and the phytosphingosine right after, because lipids help the peptide absorb better. Phytosphingosine reinforces your skin barrier while the hexapeptide smooths out fine lines, making them work wonderfully as a team. You do not need to change anything, but you can wait a minute between steps if your skin is sensitive.
