Glycerin and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Work well together
Use them together by applying the glycerin serum before the peptide cream, because extra moisture helps the peptides work better. Glycerin hydrates the skin to help the peptide absorb more deeply and work more effectively. The shopper can use a gentler strength or apply the products a few minutes apart if the skin feels sensitive.
