Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ceramides and Copper Peptides together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Ceramides and Copper Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Ceramides or Copper Peptides?
Apply Copper Peptides first, then Ceramides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Ceramides in the morning or at night?
Ceramides: works morning or night. Use as your moisturiser step, morning and night. On nights with actives, you can buffer by applying a ceramide cream first.
Should I use Copper Peptides in the morning or at night?
Copper Peptides: best at night. Use at night on nights without acids or vitamin C. A thin layer is enough.
Is Ceramides with Copper Peptides safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Copper Peptides. Check with your doctor.
