Vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3: depends on the strength

Depends on the strength

Apply vitamin C in the morning and acetyl hexapeptide-3 at night, because combining them in the same routine makes them less effective. Vitamin C helps brighten skin, while acetyl hexapeptide-3 helps smooth fine lines. You can use both products safely by keeping them in separate daily routines.

Questions and answers

Can you use vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3 together?

Using vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3 together depends on the strength of the products, such as in La Mer The Serum Essence or Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum. You may need to use them in separate routines to avoid reducing peptide efficacy, as copper and peptides can interact negatively with vitamin C.

Which goes first, vitamin C or acetyl hexapeptide-3?

You should use vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3 in separate routines because mixing copper and peptides with vitamin C may reduce peptide efficacy and oxidize the vitamin.

Are vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3 good for sensitive skin?

Whether vitamin C and acetyl hexapeptide-3 work well together depends on the strength and specific product, as pure L-ascorbic acid and copper peptides should generally be separated to avoid reducing peptide efficacy. Products like La Mer The Serum Essence, Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum, and Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% combine these ingredients, though sensitive skin types may prefer using them in separate routines.
