Frequently asked questions

Can I use Aloe Vera and Peptides together?

Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Aloe Vera and Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration), so together they reinforce each other.

Which goes first, Aloe Vera or Peptides?

Apply Aloe Vera first, then Peptides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.

Should I use Aloe Vera in the morning or at night?

Aloe Vera: works morning or night. Use as a gel moisturiser for oily skin in summer, or under a cream in dry weather. Choose products without added alcohol or heavy fragrance.

Peptides: works morning or night. Use morning and night after water-based serums. Low-pH acids applied at the same time can break some peptides down.
