Can I use peptides with vitamin C?

Short answerYes

Yes — they're chemically compatible; introduce slowly if your skin is sensitive. Theoretical only — low pH could destabilize the copper-peptide complex and free copper could catalyze ascorbate oxidation in a beaker, but there is no clinical or on-skin evidence of lost benefit; separating them into AM/PM sessions is a precaution some people take, not an evidence-backed requirement.
