Niacinamide and copper peptide: depends on the strength

Depends on the strength

Use them on alternate nights, applying copper peptides first, to prevent the ingredients from canceling each other out. Copper peptides and strong niacinamide can clash, reducing the anti-aging benefits you see in the mirror. You can easily fix this by using a gentler strength or waiting longer between applications.
