Pro-retinol and copper peptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day with copper peptides in the morning and pro-retinol at night, because combining them in the same routine causes skin irritation. Both ingredients work hard to firm and renew the skin, but mixing them at the same time can cause redness and stinging. You can easily fix this by switching to a gentler strength, or by putting more time between when you apply each product.
