Frequently asked questions
Can I use Copper Peptides and Urea together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Copper Peptides and Urea, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Copper Peptides or Urea?
Apply Copper Peptides first, then Urea. 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 Urea in the morning or at night?
Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
Is Copper Peptides with Urea safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Copper Peptides. Check with your doctor.
