Highlights

  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Best for: Normal skin
  • Anti-aging

Details & care

What it is: A universal formula that utilizes multiple skin support technologies to target multiple signs of aging at once.

What it does: The formula incorporates five well-studied peptide technologies, skin-friendly amino acids and multiple hyaluronic acids. It helps to improve the appearance of fine and dynamic lines and supports your skin’s overall elasticity, smoothness and firmness. And because this advanced serum contains direct copper peptides, it also targets signs of aging that are typically associated with oxidative stress, resulting in radiant, healthier-looking skin.

How to use: Apply a few drops to the face in the morning and evening. If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised.

Holy smokes this is good

This stuff woooorrrkkkss. I've been using it for about a month now and it has been a game changer. I've been using prescription retinol off and on for years now but I always end up giving up because the peeling and sensitive skin just isn't worth clear skin. However, after introducing this serum morning and night along with my retinol my skin has no sensitivity. Little to no peeling and this serum is the only thing I changed in my routine. Keep in mind I have been off and on retinol for 10 years without getting the results people keep going on about. But now I have 'glass skin' for the first time in 20 years (I'm 34 with teenage acne that just never went away with adulthood). If you're on the fence with this, take the leap! It's supper affordable, the bottle will last at least a month even if used morning and night. I've also used a much more expensive cooper peptide serum and it wasn't nearly as good as this one.

Not as good as The Buffet

I really liked the affect The Buffet had on my skin, so I had great expectations for this serum. However, I really didn’t like the smell of this serum, which made using it a chore. I’m not sure I gave it enough chance to see any benefits to my skin. I wouldn’t re-purchase.

Good, not better than the original formula

I very much like to have a peptide in my evening skincare routine for hydration. I usually buy the standard Ordinary Buffet, which I think has a new name now. I do like this one with the copper peptides. The blue colour is very fun. I think I will switch back to the other one as it is cheaper and comes in the larger sizes.

Can try if you want to control your budget

I tried this because i want to stop using retinol products as they made my skin dry and irritated. I understand that using peptide products needs to be with patience so I dont really have a very high expectation on this. So far I have been using it for a month but I still don't feel anything yet. I always think that some of the products even have similiar ingredients but with high difference in prices happen for a reason and i can really prove myself right after using The Ordinary product. They are not expensive but they won't make you feel like 'wow'

Great for hydration

I loved this serum because it is really hydrating and it provides a plumping effect. It is blue but it doesn't leave blue residue on the skin. It also absorbs quickly and makes the skin feel soft and glowing. As for an anti-age effect I don't believe any skincare product is able to make a huge difference so I'm using this serum as an extra moisturizer only.

barrier repair wizard

First bought this, when I damaged my barrier pretty badly by using too many exfoliates on my sensitive skin and thought I'd give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised that it sped up the repair to just under a week and now it's part of my daily night routine right before my tretinoin. it keeps my skin hydrated and helps all my products work and absorb so well.

Amazing!!

I’m a big fan of the buffet formula so I decided to try this one after hearing amazing things!! And I’m pleased to say I’m in love! It leaves your skin looking so hydrated and glowy, really helps with fine lines and I think really helps with keeping skin clear as well!! An amazing all rounder!
