Hydroxypinacolone retinoate and collagen peptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying the peptide product in the morning and the retinoid at night to avoid skin irritation. Using both active ingredients at the same time can overwhelm your skin and cause redness or irritation. You can easily fix this by giving your skin more time between applications or by switching to a gentler product.
