Hexapeptide and squalene: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying the peptide serum first, because the squalene oil helps it sink in and locks in moisture. The squalene helps the peptide work better and makes your skin feel softer and stronger. If your skin feels too rich, you can switch to a lighter moisturizer or use them less often.
