Mandelic acid and palmitoyl tripeptide-1: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying mandelic acid in the morning and the peptide at night, because the acid is too harsh for it. The strong acid breaks down the peptide and stops it from working properly. The shopper can separate them into different routines or use a gentler acid strength.
