Frequently asked questions
Can I use Copper Peptides and Squalane together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Copper Peptides and Squalane, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Copper Peptides or Squalane?
Apply Copper Peptides first, then Squalane. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH 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.
Should I use Squalane in the morning or at night?
Squalane: works morning or night. Press 2–3 drops in as the last step at night, or mix a drop into your moisturiser.
