Hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the hexapeptide first, because alcohol damages the peptide. Alcohol breaks down the peptide, so the skin misses out on its firming benefits. The shopper can switch to a gentler product without alcohol or wait longer between them.

Questions and answers
Can you use hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol together?
You should keep hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol apart because alcohols may denature the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness. If alcohol is required, it is best kept at low levels or separated into different routines.
Which goes first, hexapeptide or isopropyl alcohol?
Keep hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol apart because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its bioavailability. If you use both, apply them in separate routines to avoid interference.
Are hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol good for sensitive skin?
Keep hexapeptide and isopropyl alcohol apart because strong alcohols can denature the peptide structure and reduce its bioavailability, which is particularly important to avoid for dry and sensitive skin. Lovi fit for this combination is not rated on this page.
