Mandelic acid and triple peptide blend
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying mandelic acid first and the peptide blend later, because the acid is too harsh for peptides. The strong acid breaks down the peptides, which stops them from firming and smoothing your skin. You can easily fix this by using your acid in the morning and your peptides at night, or by spacing them out with more time.

Questions and answers
Can you use mandelic acid and triple peptide blend together?

Which goes first, mandelic acid or triple peptide blend?
Keep mandelic acid and triple peptide blend apart by using them in separate steps or routines, such as applying one in the morning and the other at night. The low pH of mandelic acid may destabilize the peptide bonds and reduce their bioactivity if combined in the same routine.
Are mandelic acid and triple peptide blend good for sensitive skin?
No, you should keep mandelic acid and triple peptide blend apart because the low pH of the acid destabilizes peptide bonds and reduces their bioactivity, which can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, use them in separate steps or routines like AM and PM separation.
