Niacinamide and palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Depends on the strength
Use them together in the same routine, applying niacinamide first to help your skin absorb the peptide serum better. Niacinamide strengthens your skin barrier and boosts the peptide serum, which helps smooth fine lines and firm your skin. You do not need to change anything unless your skin feels sensitive, in which case you can wait a few minutes between steps.
