Ingredient layering
Can you use AHA and Peptides together?
Yes — with a little care
Keep a fresh acid and your peptides in separate steps.
How to use them
Use the acid and peptides at different times of day.
Why
Peptides work best near neutral pH, and a low-pH acid layer can blunt them.
The ingredients, in plain terms
Ingredient
AHA
Surface exfoliants that smooth texture and brighten — the water-loving counterpart to BHA.
Ingredient
Peptides
Gentle anti-aging messengers that nudge skin to firm up — the low-irritation alternative to retinoids.
