Question
Can Matrixyl, Argireline, and Sesaflash be added drop by drop into cream or serum each time before use, or should they be mixed into the entire batch of cream or serum at once?
Answer
Hello,
Regarding adding Matrixyl, Argireline, and Sesaflash to your cream or serum:
It is recommended to mix these ingredients into the entire amount of cream or serum at once, rather than adding drops each time you use it.
Here's why:
- Correct Ratio: Mixing into the whole product ensures that you use the ingredients at the correct concentration recommended by the manufacturer. Adding drops individually can lead to inconsistent amounts, potentially using too little (reducing effectiveness) or too much (wasting product, as higher concentrations of Matrixyl or Argireline don't necessarily increase efficacy).
- Compatibility: Especially with Sesaflash, the amount that can be added depends on the base cream/serum. Mixing a small amount (start with no more than 1%) into the whole product allows you to check for compatibility and ensures even distribution. Adding too much Sesaflash can cause incompatibility issues.
- Peptide Combinations: If using multiple peptides, combining Matrixyl with Leuphasyl or Argireline with Leuphasyl is suggested for better synergistic effects compared to combining Matrixyl and Argireline.
Therefore, for best results and proper use, mix the required percentage of each ingredient into your entire batch of cream or serum according to the recommended usage rates.
