Superoxide dismutase and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying superoxide dismutase first and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 later, to prevent the enzyme from breaking down the peptide. Superoxide dismutase can act like a pair of scissors, chopping up the peptide and stopping it from smoothing wrinkles. The shopper can separate them by using one in the morning and the other at night.
