AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and hexapeptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day by applying the acid in the morning and the hexapeptide at night, because the acid breaks down the peptide. The strong acid undoes the firming work of the peptide, which makes your skincare routine less effective. The shopper can separate them into different routines or use a gentler acid strength.
