Tretinoin and peptide-rich plasma
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying peptides in the morning and tretinoin at night to prevent irritation. Using both strong ingredients at the same time can cause your skin to become red, irritated, and sensitive. You can switch to a gentler peptide cream or wait longer between applying them to protect your skin barrier.
