Beta-sitosterol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the plant sterol first and the peptide second, because plant oils help peptides sink in better. Plant sterols help peptides sink in better and strengthen your skin barrier. You can use a gentler strength or wait a few minutes between steps if your skin feels sensitive.
