Hexapeptide and zinc: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first and the zinc later, because mixing them makes the peptide less effective. Zinc can bind to hexapeptide and stop it from working properly on the skin. The shopper can separate them into morning and evening routines to get the best results from both.
