Zinc and hexapeptide-9: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply zinc in the morning and hexapeptide-9 at night, because mixing them together makes the peptide treatment less effective. Zinc can bind to the peptide and stop it from working properly on your skin. To fix this, simply use them at different times of the day.
