Polyvinyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first and the alcohol product later, because they clash and cancel each other out. The strong alcohol breaks down the delicate peptide structure, so your skin misses out on the firming benefits. You can safely get the best of both by using them hours apart or switching to a gentler alcohol-free formula.
