Hexapeptide and cholesterol
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the peptide product first and the cholesterol cream right after, because lipids help peptides soak in better. Cholesterol helps your skin absorb the peptide so it can work better to strengthen your skin barrier. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try using a lower strength or apply them on alternate nights.
