Hexapeptide-9 and baking soda
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first and the baking soda later, because the baking soda is too harsh for the peptide. Baking soda makes the skin's surface too basic, which stops the peptide from working and can cause irritation or dryness. You can switch to a gentler cleanser or wait longer between using them.

Questions and answers
Can you use hexapeptide-9 and baking soda together?
No, you should keep hexapeptide-9 and baking soda apart in your routine because peptides lose stability and activity in the highly alkaline environment of baking soda. This high pH causes deamidation and oxidation that can ruin the peptide formula.
Which goes first, hexapeptide-9 or baking soda?
Keep hexapeptide-9 and baking soda apart in your routine because baking soda creates a highly alkaline environment that causes peptides to lose their stability and activity.
Are hexapeptide-9 and baking soda good for sensitive skin?
No, you should keep hexapeptide-9 and baking soda apart in your routine because baking soda creates a highly alkaline environment that causes peptides to lose stability and activity. Lovi rates the compatibility of these two ingredients as low.
