What the product description says

“Peach & Lily's Peptide Pro Firming Moisturizer is a firming moisturizer, hydrating moisturizer, and a barrier repair cream all in one.”

Source: Ulta

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. 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. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-1, tripeptide-1

What the product description says

“12 peptides and 4 amino acids visibly plump up fine lines and wrinkles while supporting healthy collagen.”

Source: Ulta

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide-2, hexapeptide-9, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, serine, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-1, tripeptide-1.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "PEACH & LILY - Peptide Pro Firming Moisturizer" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, hexapeptide-9, arginine and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, arginine and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (sh-polypeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.30%, hexapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.25%, nonapeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.20% - 0.35%, tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45%, copper tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.25% - 0.50%, dipeptide-2 0.25% - 0.45% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.50%). 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. Peptides 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.
Adenosine 0.20% - 0.40%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and stearic acid
