Phytosterol and hexapeptide-9
Work well together
Use them together by applying the peptide serum first, followed by the phytosterol cream, because the plant lipids help the firming peptides absorb better. Phytosterols help the hexapeptide sink in better so you see firmer skin faster. You can keep using them together, but try waiting a few minutes between steps if your skin feels sensitive.
