Zinc sulfate and hexapeptide-9
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the zinc first, because mixing them together makes the peptide lose its effect. Zinc blocks the peptide from working properly on the skin, reducing the overall anti-aging results. The shopper can separate them by using one in the morning and the other at night.
