Navigating the Mix: AHA, BHA, and Copper Peptides
One of the most common questions I receive—and one that is frequently debated in skincare communities—is whether you can combine this serum with chemical exfoliants. The gold standard advice is clear: you can't mix it with acids (AHA, BHA, etc.).
Why is this the case? AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) are low-pH ingredients designed to exfoliate the surface and pores. When you apply these alongside the Buffet + Copper Peptides, the acidity of the exfoliants can potentially destabilize the copper complex, rendering it less effective. If you are using a potent product like the AHA 3 The Ordinary Buffet Copper Peptides 1 Retinol Same Routine 0% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, it is best to use these on alternating nights or separate times of the day to ensure both the exfoliant and the Copper Peptides perform at their peak.
Best Practices for Your Routine
* Layering: If you are determined to use both, designate the AHA and BHA for your evening exfoliation sessions, and save the Copper Peptides for your morning routine after cleansing.
* Consistency: The Buffet + Co The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution pper Peptides adds copper peptides for enhanced anti-ageing benefits compared to the standard peptide serum, making it a worthwhile investment for those who are committed to long-term skin health.
