Hydroxypinacolone retinoate and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day by applying the peptide in the morning and the retinoid at night, because combining them can cause irritation. Using both strong ingredients at the same time can overwhelm your skin and cause redness or irritation. To fix this, simply use them on alternate days or in separate morning and evening routines.
