Frequently asked questions
Can I use Peptides and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Peptides and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier and hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Peptides or Vitamin E?
Apply Peptides first, then Vitamin E. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
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.
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.
