“Suitable for daily use, this potent serum also helps to support the skin’s natural collagen production to promote a smooth, plump and glowing complexion.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": dextran, glycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2, myristoyl nonapeptide-3, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, tripeptide-29
Anti-agingTripeptide-29, Myristoyl nonapeptide-3 + 2 moreMay help
“The natural role of these peptides as found in the human body includes activation of a wide range of skin health functions, including healing, immune function, collagen synthesis, fibroblast production and anti-inflammatory responses, while pure GHK offers strong pro-collagen support.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, myristoyl nonapeptide-3, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, tripeptide-29. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (myristoyl nonapeptide-3 2.40% - 3.00%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 1.50% - 1.90%, tripeptide-29 5.10% - 6.20%, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 1.90% - 2.30% and tripeptide-1 3.90% (declared)). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (glycogen 1.00% - 1.30%, glycerin 5.50% - 6.70%, dextran 0.55% - 0.85% and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 1.30% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
