Isopropyl alcohol and peptide-rich plasma
Keep them apart
Use them at different times of day, applying the peptide serum in the morning and the alcohol product at night. Isopropyl alcohol breaks down the peptide structure, making the firming treatment useless. The shopper can switch to an alcohol-free toner or wait a few hours between applying them.
