Glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying glycolic acid in the morning and peptides at night, because the acid ruins the peptides. The acid is too harsh and breaks down the peptide proteins, making them completely useless on your skin. To fix this, simply use them in separate routines or switch to a gentler acid strength.

Questions and answers

Can you use glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma together?

Keep glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma apart by using them in separate routines, such as alternating morning and evening, because the low pH of the acid may destabilize the peptide bonds and reduce their effectiveness.

Which goes first, glycolic acid or peptide-rich plasma?

Keep glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma apart by using them in separate steps or routines such as AM and PM separation. The low pH of glycolic acid destabilizes peptide bonds and reduces their bioactivity when combined.

Are glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma good for sensitive skin?

Keep glycolic acid and peptide-rich plasma apart because the low pH of glycolic acid destabilizes peptide bonds and reduces their bioactivity. Use them in separate steps or routines, such as AM and PM separation.
