Benzoyl peroxide and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying benzoyl peroxide in the morning and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 at night, because they cancel each other out. Benzoyl peroxide breaks down the anti-aging peptides so they cannot smooth or firm your skin. You can use both by applying the peptide serum in your morning routine and the benzoyl peroxide treatment at night.
