Glycerin and hexapeptide: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying your glycerin hydrating serum first, followed by your hexapeptide product, because hydration helps the peptides absorb better. Glycerin draws in moisture to plump your skin, while hexapeptides help smooth the look of fine lines and support firmness. You can adjust your routine by using a gentler hydrating product or waiting a minute between layers if your skin feels sensitive.
