Can I use glycolic acid with peptides?

Short answerYes

Yes — they're chemically compatible; introduce slowly if your skin is sensitive. Largely a myth — meaningful hydrolysis of cosmetic peptides needs far harsher, more prolonged conditions than a brief topical low-pH exposure, and formulators routinely combine them; the only real-world consideration is irritation stacking.
