Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and beta-sitosterol
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the plant sterol first and the peptide right after, because lipids help peptides absorb better. The lipid ingredient helps the peptide sink in better so they team up to strengthen your skin barrier. You can keep using them together as long as your skin feels comfortable, but try a gentler strength or space them out if you notice any irritation.
