Retinal and collagen peptide
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying collagen peptide in the morning and retinal at night to avoid skin irritation. Using both strong retinoids and peptides at the same time can cause extra irritation and redness. The shopper can switch to a gentler retinal strength or separate them into morning and evening routines.
