Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and phytosphingosine
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the peptide product first followed by the ceramide cream, for better barrier support. The phytosphingosine helps the acetyl hexapeptide-3 absorb better while reinforcing your skin structure for a smoother feel. You can keep using them together as long as your skin feels comfortable, or switch to using them on alternate days if you notice any sensitivity.
