Why you might want both
Hydrated skin looks smoother right away; firmer skin looks better over time. Pair a hydrator with a peptide and you get both. DOSE includes hydrolyzed collagen for instant hydration alongside its peptides, so many people find they don't need a separate hydrating serum.

Hydration tip
Hyaluronic acid works best when you seal it in with a moisturiser, especially in dry climates. More in dry vs dehydrated skin.
FAQ
Can I use hyaluronic acid with copper peptides?
Yes, they pair very well. Apply hyaluronic acid first, then your copper peptide serum, then moisturiser.
Is hyaluronic acid anti-aging?
It makes skin look plumper and fine dehydration lines less visible, but for long-term firmness look to peptides.
Do I need a separate hyaluronic serum with DOSE?
Not necessarily. DOSE includes hydrolyzed collagen for hydration. Add hyaluronic acid if your skin still feels dehydrated.
