Adapalene and palmitoyl tripeptide-1

Adapalene and palmitoyl tripeptide-1: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying palmitoyl tripeptide-1 in the morning and adapalene at night. Using both together can cause extra skin irritation because they are both very active. You can prevent this by switching to a lower strength or giving your skin more time between them.
