Salicylic acid and copper peptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying salicylic acid first and copper peptides later, because mixing them cancels out their benefits. Salicylic acid is too acidic for copper peptides, which ruins the peptide bonds and stops them from working. You can fix this by using your acid in the morning and your peptides at night.
