[Zinc](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc) sulfate helps control oil and targets blemishes on the skin. ### How do you use zinc sulfate? Zinc sulfate can be used in your skincare routine by following specific layering rules with other ingredients, such as applying [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/niacinamide) or [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/salicylic-acid) first. Some ingredients like [bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) should be kept apart and used at different times of day to ensure both ingredients remain effective. ### Should you use zinc sulfate in the morning or at night? You can use zinc sulfate in the morning or at night, but if you use it with bio-placenta peptides, [copper peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/copper-peptide), or other peptides, apply zinc sulfate at night and the peptides in the morning to prevent them from canceling each other out. ### Can you use zinc sulfate every day? Yes, you can use zinc sulfate every day. ### Does zinc sulfate cause purging or irritation? Zinc sulfate is unlikely to cause purging, but it may cause mild irritation for some skin types. Starting slowly helps your skin adjust to the ingredient. ### Which skin types is zinc sulfate best for? Zinc sulfate is best for oily and blemish-prone skin types because it helps control excess oil and targets blemishes. Popular products containing this ingredient include Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant and Vichy Normaderm Phytosolution. ### Can you use zinc sulfate with benzoyl peroxide? Yes, you can use zinc sulfate and [benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) together because their combined action targets blemishes more effectively. Use them together by applying zinc sulfate first and benzoyl peroxide second. ### Can you use zinc sulfate with bio-placenta peptides? You should keep zinc sulfate and bio-placenta peptides apart by applying bio-placenta peptides in the morning and zinc sulfate at night, because zinc can cancel out the peptide benefits. ## Combining zinc sulfate - Work well together: [Salicylic acid and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/salicylic-acid-and-zinc-sulfate) - Work well together: [Niacinamide and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/niacinamide-and-zinc-sulfate) - Keep them apart: [Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3-and-zinc-sulfate) - Keep them apart: [Bio-placenta peptides and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides-and-zinc-sulfate) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-collagen-peptide) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-copper-peptide) - Keep them apart: [Hexapeptide and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hexapeptide-and-zinc-sulfate) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-hexapeptide-9) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-peptide-rich-plasma) - Keep them apart: [Zinc sulfate and triple peptide blend](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/zinc-sulfate-and-triple-peptide-blend) - Work well together: [Benzoyl peroxide and zinc sulfate](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide-and-zinc-sulfate) ## Brands with zinc sulfate - French skincare: [Bioderma](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/bioderma) - French skincare: [Vichy](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/vichy) ## Related ingredients - [Benzoyl peroxide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/benzoyl-peroxide) - [Niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/niacinamide) - [Salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/salicylic-acid) - [Bio-placenta peptides](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/bio-placenta-peptides) - [Hexapeptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hexapeptide) - [Acetyl hexapeptide-3](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/acetyl-hexapeptide-3) - [Collagen peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/collagen-peptide) - [Copper peptide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/copper-peptide) - [Hexapeptide-9](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hexapeptide-9) - [Peptide-rich plasma](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/peptide-rich-plasma) - [Triple peptide blend](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/triple-peptide-blend) - [Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4) - [Palmitoyl tripeptide-1](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/palmitoyl-tripeptide-1) ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
