Retinoid blend and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Apply your retinoid blend at night and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning to prevent irritation. Both active ingredients stimulate skin renewal, and using them together can cause redness and sensitivity. You can alternate their use or switch to a gentler retinoid formula.

Questions and answers
Can you use retinoid blend and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 together?
Keep them apart because combined stimulation may increase irritation, so you should alternate usage by applying your retinoid in the PM and peptides in the AM.
Which goes first, retinoid blend or palmitoyl tripeptide-1?
Keep a retinoid blend and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart in your routine by using the retinoid at night and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning, because combining them may increase irritation. Alternate usage to safely benefit from both ingredients.
Are retinoid blend and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 good for sensitive skin?
Keep retinoid blend and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 apart in your routine because combining them may increase irritation, so you can alternate usage with a PM retinoid and AM peptides. Lovi finds this combination has a low fit for sensitive skin.
