00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:03.437
Can peptides and retinol go in the same

00:00:03.351 --> 00:00:05.848
skincare routine? Often, yes.

00:00:06.161 --> 00:00:08.872
But check which peptide product you own before

00:00:08.785 --> 00:00:11.083
following a universal layering rule.

00:00:11.828 --> 00:00:15.844
A peptide moisturizer, a copper peptide serum and

00:00:15.824 --> 00:00:18.122
an injectable product are different things.

00:00:18.435 --> 00:00:20.866
This guide is about topical skincare.

00:00:21.166 --> 00:00:23.730
The instructions on a serum do not apply

00:00:23.643 --> 00:00:25.475
to a pen or vial.

00:00:26.233 --> 00:00:29.424
A straightforward way to organize compatible products is

00:00:29.337 --> 00:00:31.502
to keep the peptide step in the morning

00:00:31.415 --> 00:00:32.701
and retinol at night.

00:00:33.093 --> 00:00:36.177
Follow each label, keep moisturizer in the routine

00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:38.095
and use daytime sun protection.

00:00:38.877 --> 00:00:41.521
Copper peptides need an extra check.

00:00:41.847 --> 00:00:45.504
Some manufacturers advise against using their copper serum

00:00:45.510 --> 00:00:47.648
and retinoids in the same routine.

00:00:48.054 --> 00:00:51.378
Follow that specific guidance instead of assuming every

00:00:51.278 --> 00:00:53.110
peptide behaves alike.

00:00:53.868 --> 00:00:56.365
Introduce one new product at a time.

00:00:56.665 --> 00:00:59.722
If you change your cleanser, acids and retinol

00:00:59.635 --> 00:01:02.160
together, it becomes hard to work out what

00:01:02.073 --> 00:01:03.119
your skin likes.

00:01:03.405 --> 00:01:06.209
Retinoids should be avoided during pregnancy.

00:01:06.968 --> 00:01:09.785
Read on for morning and evening examples, the

00:01:09.699 --> 00:01:12.969
copper peptide exception and a checklist for comparing

00:01:12.882 --> 00:01:15.953
labels. You can build a useful routine without

00:01:15.853 --> 00:01:18.484
filling every step with another active.
