PEACH & LILY Power Cocktail Lactic Acid Repair Serum
Works for
Anti-agingLactic acid, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 6 moreWorks well
“A potent shot of 10% lactic acid helps reverse and prevent visible signs of aging.”
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, copper tripeptide-1, lactic acid, oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4.
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.
Evens skin toneLactic acid, Camellia sinensis leaf extractWorks well
“Algae extract, ginseng, and hyaluronic acid smooth, refine, and improve the look of fine lines, texture, and tone—without irritation.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Lactic acidWorks well
“Peach & Lily Power Cocktail Lactic Acid Repair Serum visibly and dramatically lifts, firms, smooths lines, refine texture, even skin tone and boost radiance.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: lactic acid.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Ceramide np, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 22 moreWorks well
“Helps prevent accelerated signs of aging with its lightweight, fast-absorbing, silky and cushiony texture”
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:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, saccharomyces/imperata cylindrica root ferment extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, ceramide np, copper tripeptide-1, oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia japonica flower extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia japonica flower extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides.

It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

Product summary
"PEACH & LILY - Power Cocktail Lactic Acid Repair Serum" is effective for: Exfoliation, Moisturizing, Anti-aging and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- Exfoliating acids (lactic acid 4.50% - 5.50%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. Lactic Acid can also help to attract water to the upper layer (works as a humectant).
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.70% - 1.05%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.25%, oligopeptide-1 0.15% - 0.25%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%). 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.
- Adenosine 0.10% - 0.20%. 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).
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.55%, polyglutamic acid 0.35% - 0.65%, lactic acid 4.50% - 5.50%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, hyaluronic acid 0.35% - 0.60%, glycerin 1.50% - 1.90% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
