Vitamin C and palmitoyl tripeptide-1: depends on the strength

Depends on the strength

Apply vitamin C in the morning and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 at night, because copper complexes can oxidize ascorbate and reduce peptide efficacy. Copper acts as an oxidation catalyst that can diminish the benefits of your vitamin C and peptides. You can separate the two products into different routines or use chelating agents like EDTA.
