Adapalene and hexapeptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying your peptide product in the morning and adapalene at night to avoid skin irritation. Using both active ingredients together can overwhelm your skin and cause extra redness or peeling. You can switch to a gentler peptide formula or simply keep them in separate morning and evening routines.
