Hexapeptide and vitamin A
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying vitamin A at night and hexapeptide in the morning, to prevent skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth the skin, which can sometimes be too much for it to handle all at once. You can make it work by using a gentler strength or waiting longer between applications.
