Magnesium and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Apply them at different times of day, using magnesium in the morning and peptides at night, because mixing them makes the peptides less effective. Magnesium and peptides clash, which can stop your peptide serum from working properly on your skin. You can easily fix this by using the two products at different times during the day.
