Frequently asked questions
Can I use Glutathione and Peptides together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Glutathione and Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Glutathione or Peptides?
Apply Glutathione first, then Peptides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Glutathione in the morning or at night?
Glutathione: works morning or night. Use daily as part of a brightening routine, always with sunscreen. Glutathione injections and drips for skin whitening are not approved for that use and carry real risks.
Should I use Peptides in the morning or at night?
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.
Is Glutathione with Peptides safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Glutathione. Check with your doctor.
