AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and acetyl hexapeptide-3
Keep them apart
Apply aha blend glycolic and citric acids in the morning and acetyl hexapeptide-3 at night because acids break down peptides. Acidic products clash with anti-aging peptides and make them useless on the skin. The shopper can separate them into different routines or wait longer between steps.
