Phytosphingosine and hexapeptide-9: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the peptide first and following with the phytosphingosine. Phytosphingosine helps the skin absorb hexapeptide-9 better while strengthening the skin barrier for smoother results. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or use a lower concentration.
