Hexapeptide and behenyl alcohol: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first, because alcohol makes the peptide less effective. The alcohol weakens the peptide and stops it from firming the skin. You can use a gentler alcohol or wait longer between applying them.
