Salicylic acid and triple peptide blend
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying salicylic acid first and peptides later, because the acid ruins the peptide results. Salicylic acid is too acidic and breaks down the peptides, so they stop working on your skin. You can easily fix this by using one in the morning and the other at night.
