Benzoyl peroxide and hexapeptide: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply them at different times of day, using benzoyl peroxide in the morning and hexapeptide at night, because heat and certain harsh conditions can break down the peptide. Benzoyl peroxide can degrade the peptide, making it less effective and reducing the anti-aging benefits you see on your skin. You can switch to a gentler strength or space the products further apart in your routine.
