Copper and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them on alternate nights, applying copper first and then palmitoyl tripeptide-1, because they can cancel each other out. Combining these two active ingredients in the same routine can cause them to react and reduce their effectiveness on your skin. You can easily fix this by using a gentler formula or giving more time between applying the two products.
