Frequently asked questions
Can I use Copper Peptides and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Copper Peptides and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Copper Peptides or Vitamin E?
Apply Copper Peptides first, then Vitamin E. 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 Vitamin E in the morning or at night?
Vitamin E: works morning or night. Look for it combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid. Very oily or acne-prone skin should avoid pure vitamin E oil.
Is Copper Peptides with Vitamin E safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Copper Peptides. Check with your doctor.
