Glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying glycolic acid in the morning and bio-placenta peptides at night, because the strong acid ruins the peptides. The strong acid breaks down the peptides, meaning you will lose the anti-aging benefits. You can easily fix this by using one in the morning and the other at night.

Questions and answers
Can you use glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides together?
No, you should avoid using glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides together in the same routine because the low pH of the acid destabilizes the peptide bonds and reduces their bioactivity. Instead, use them in separate steps or routines, such as AM and PM separation.
Which goes first, glycolic acid or bio-placenta peptides?
Keep glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides apart by using them in separate steps or routines, such as applying acids in the AM and peptides in the PM. The low-pH environment of glycolic acid destabilizes peptide bonds and may reduce their bioactivity.
Are glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides good for sensitive skin?
Glycolic acid and bio-placenta peptides should be kept apart, especially on sensitive skin, because the low-pH acid environment destabilizes peptide bonds and reduces their bioactivity. You should use them in separate steps or routines, such as AM and PM separation.
