Pro-retinol and collagen peptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide serum in the morning and the pro-retinol at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth skin, but mixing them at the exact same time can overwhelm your face and cause redness. You can safely use both if you try a gentler strength or space them out into separate morning and night routines.
