Granactive retinoid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide in the morning and the retinoid at night, to prevent skin irritation. Both active ingredients push your skin to renew itself quickly, which can easily cause redness and irritation when used together. You can avoid this by splitting them up into separate morning and night routines.
