Description
Description
Most serums sold on peptides contain one, somewhere near the bottom of the list. This has two: dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline at tenth, and hexapeptide-11 at a stated 2%. The ginkgo biloba extract is stated too, at 1%. Numbers on a label are easy to leave off, and most brands do.
Around them sit organic blueberry and strawberry seed oils for antioxidants, hyaluronic acid in two molecular weights, and Sodium PCA. Organic aloe leaf juice opens the formula with organic jojoba third and water only fourth. 99% natural origin, 20% organic, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert.
How to use
How to use
Three or four drops on clean skin, morning and evening. Press it in with your palms rather than rubbing, and take it down the neck. Moisturiser goes over the top once it has settled.
There's nothing to build up to. Peptides don't cause the irritation retinoids do, so you start at twice a day on day one and keep going. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Who is it for?
Who is it for?
Normal and dry skin working on fine lines, firmness and the look of dehydration. It suits anyone who wants an anti-ageing step that doesn't demand a tolerance-building schedule, and it sits comfortably alongside whatever else you use.
Be patient with it — peptides work gradually, so think in months rather than weeks. It's fragranced, with linalool, geraniol and citronellol declared on the INCI, all from natural essential oils. Patch test for 24 hours if scent is a trigger for you.

Ingredients / INCI
How to use it
Three or four drops
On clean skin, morning and evening. No working up to it and no alternate days.
Press in, face and neck
Palms rather than fingertips, and keep going past the jaw. The neck ages first and gets treated last.
Moisturiser over the top
A serum is a step, not the whole routine. Something needs to go on afterwards to hold it in.
Peptides work gradually. Give it eight to twelve weeks of steady use before you judge it.

What's inside and why it's there
Thirty-five ingredients, 99% of natural origin and 20% organic, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no sulfates, no artificial dyes. Gluten free, nut free and vegan, no GMO ingredients, recyclable packaging.
Hexapeptide-11
A stated percentage, which is more than most peptide serums will tell you. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and this is the one the formula is named for.
Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline
The second peptide, and placed high — above every berry oil that follows it. Used in firming formulas, and the reason this isn't a one-peptide serum with a peptide name.
Blueberry + Strawberry Seed Oil
Organic blueberry seed oil with strawberry seed oil, 1% ginkgo biloba, vitamin E and an oil-soluble vitamin C. Antioxidants protect the progress the peptides are slowly making.
Questions people ask before buying
Two. Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline sits tenth on the list, and hexapeptide-11 is in at a stated 2%. A lot of serums sold on peptides contain one, unstated, near the bottom — the full list of thirty-five ingredients is on this page if you want to compare.
Eight to twelve weeks of steady use. Peptides work gradually and quietly — there's no tingle and no visible shedding to tell you something is happening. Take a photo in the same light on day one so you have something honest to compare against.
Both. Peptides aren't degraded by light and don't make skin more sun-sensitive, so there's no reason to keep this one for bedtime.
Yes. Peptides are the easiest active to fit into a routine — nothing here clashes with a retinoid, an exfoliating acid or a vitamin C serum. Plenty of people use this in the morning and something stronger at night.
Iron oxides — a pure mineral pigment, listed on the INCI as CI 77491. It gives the serum in the bottle its colour and doesn't tint your skin. There are no artificial dyes in the formula.
The honest answer is that retinoids have a much larger body of research behind them. What peptides offer is a route with no irritation, no peeling, no added sun sensitivity and no schedule to keep — which for a lot of people is the difference between using something and abandoning it.
No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no sulfates and no artificial dyes. It is scented though, using natural essential oils — linalool, geraniol and citronellol are declared on the INCI.
No. A cool, dry place out of direct sunlight is all it needs. Some people like keeping serums cold because it feels better going on, but the formula doesn't require it.
Yes to vegan and cruelty free, and it's certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert Greenlife — 99% natural origin, 20% organic. It's also gluten free, nut free, free of GMO ingredients, and the packaging is recyclable.
