How to Use h2Peptide in Your Routine
h2Peptide is designed to fit seamlessly into nearly any skincare routine. It layers well with hydrating serums, facial oils, and most active treatments — helping you build an anti-aging, barrier-supportive routine without irritation. Below is a guide to help you pair it with other products effectively:

Compatibility |
When to Use |
Notes |
Saffron + Bakuchiol Oil |
✔️ Excellent |
PM (or AM) |
Perfect night duo. Peptides boost collagen while Bakuchiol works like retinol. Use h2Peptide first, then follow with the oil to seal in actives.
|
Vitamin C Serums |
✔️ Compatible |
AM |
Use vitamin C first, allow to absorb fully, then apply h2Peptide. Helps soothe and support the skin barrier after potent antioxidants.
|
Chemical Exfoliants (AHA/BHA/PHA) |
✔️ Compatible |
PM (1–3x/week) |
Use exfoliant first, wait 5–10 minutes, then apply h2Peptide to calm and rehydrate. Avoid layering with other strong actives in the same session.
|
Retinol / Retinoids |
⚠️ With Caution |
PM (alternate nights) |
Do not layer directly. Alternate nights with h2Peptide or use h2Peptide the next morning to soothe and rebuild the barrier after retinol use. Or consider switching to Bakuchiol for similar benefits with less irritation.
|
Facial Oils (Non-active) |
✔️ Excellent |
AM & PM |
Apply h2Peptide first, then seal in with your favorite oil. Helps lock in hydration and smooth the skin.
|
Moisturizers |
✔️ Excellent |
AM & PM |
Layer h2Peptide under your moisturizer for added hydration and anti-aging support.
|
SPF |
✔️ Required |
AM (last step) |
Always follow your morning routine with SPF. h2Peptide increases hydration, which can improve sunscreen absorption.

Pro Tip: The synergy between h2Peptide and Saffron + Bakuchiol Oil makes them a dream team for firming, smoothing, and nourishing the skin overnight — with no irritation. Use h2Peptide first to hydrate and activate peptides, then follow with the oil to seal everything in and enhance overnight repair.
⚠️ A Note on Advanced Use
While we don’t officially recommend layering retinol, h2Peptide Serum, and our Saffron + Bakuchiol Oil for most users, experienced skincare enthusiasts with well-adjusted skin may choose to use all three together in a single nighttime routine.
This routine includes a number of powerhouse ingredients — each effective on their own, and potentially synergistic when layered thoughtfully. If you’re confident in your skin’s tolerance, start slow and consider the following approach:
- Apply retinol first (pea-sized amount)
- Wait 10–20 minutes
- Follow with h2Peptide Serum
- Seal in with Saffron + Bakuchiol Oil
This combination may help boost collagen, smooth fine lines, and deeply hydrate the skin — but it’s not for everyone. Always listen to your skin and proceed with caution.
