Granactive retinoid and hexapeptide-9: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying hexapeptide-9 in the morning and granactive retinoid at night to prevent irritation. Using both active ingredients together can overstimulate the skin and cause unnecessary redness or sensitivity. To get the best results safely, separate your usage by applying them in different routines or alternate days.
