Pro-retinol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day with pro-retinol at night and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning, because combining them can cause irritation. Both ingredients work hard to smooth the skin, and using them together can overwhelm your face. You can use a gentler product or wait longer between applying them.
