Magnesium and collagen peptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the magnesium first and the peptides later, because mixing them makes the peptides less effective. Unchelated metal ions like magnesium can bind to peptides and stop them from working properly on your skin. To fix this, you can put more time between using the two products or use a product that already contains a stabilizer like EDTA.
