Cholesterol and hexapeptide-9: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the cholesterol cream first and the peptide serum right after. Cholesterol helps your skin absorb the firming peptides much better so they can work more effectively. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or wait a few minutes between steps.
