Zinc and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4

Zinc and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day with zinc in the morning and the peptide at night, because mixing them makes the peptide less effective. Zinc can bind to the peptide and stop it from working properly on your skin. You can wait a few minutes between products or use them in separate routines to get the full benefits.
