Behenyl alcohol and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Keep them apart
Apply them at different times of day, using palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 in the morning and behenyl alcohol at night. Strong alcohols can disrupt the structure of peptides, making them much less effective on your skin. To fix this, you can separate when you use them or switch to a lower concentration.
