Isopropyl alcohol and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide first, because alcohol can ruin the peptide. Alcohol breaks down the peptide structure so your skin misses out on the firming benefits. You can switch to a gentler alcohol-free product or space them out.
