Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and theanine
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the peptide product first followed by the amino acid product for best hydration and repair. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 helps firm the skin, while theanine boosts moisture and supports the peptide's anti-aging effects. You can use your normal strength for both, but if your skin feels sensitive, apply them on alternate nights or wait a few minutes between steps.
