Peptides

Think of peptides as the building blocks for your skin’s support structure. Technically, they are short chains of amino acids that make up proteins like collagen and elastin. When applied in skincare, they act as little messengers, signaling your skin to look firmer, smoother, and more resilient. While they aren’t a replacement for a face lift, they are one of the most effective ways to support healthy skin texture over time.

Your skin is constantly communicating with itself. As we age, some of those signals—like the one that says “hey, make more collagen”—can get a bit quiet. Peptides help turn the volume back up. Different peptides have different jobs: some signal for firmness (Signal Peptides), some help relax the look of expression lines (Neurotransmitter Inhibitors), and others deliver helpful minerals (Carrier Peptides). Our Peptide Squad serum combines all four types to cover your bases.

It comes down to focus and format.

• Peptide Squad is a dedicated serum and our heavy lifter. It’s packed with four different types of peptides (including Copper Peptides) to target firmness and fine lines.
• Hydro Relief is a moisturizer first. It uses peptides and amino acids to hydrate and support your skin barrier, sealing in moisture.
• Eye Enhancer is a targeted cream for the delicate eye area. It uses specific peptides (like Argireline) paired with coffee seed extract to address puffiness and expression lines specifically around the eyes.

Yes, you can. While there is an old skincare myth that Copper Peptides and Vitamin C shouldn't mix, we formulatedPeptide Squadwith a stable form of Copper Tripeptide-1. We’ve tested it to ensure it plays nicely with L-Ascorbic Acid (the star ofGlow Maker). For the best routine, apply Glow Maker first, let it absorb, and then follow with Peptide Squad.

Absolutely. In fact, they make a great team. Retinoids (like Retinol and Retinal) work by speeding up cell turnover, while peptides support the skin's structure. Using them together gives you a comprehensive anti-aging strategy. We recommend applyingPeptide Squadfirst, followed byMoonlightorStargaze.

No artificial dyes here—that brilliant blue hue comes naturally from the Copper Tripeptide-1 in the formula. Copper is a vital element for skin health, and in this peptide form, it helps support collagen synthesis. The color disappears as soon as you massage it into your skin.

Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. While you might feel an immediate boost in hydration and smoothness, visible changes in firmness and fine lines typically take steady use. Most people notice improvements in skin texture within 4–6 weeks, with more significant “bounce” and firmness appearing around the 12-week mark.

You don’t need them, but your skin will likely thank you for them. While Retinol is the gold standard for resurfacing and wrinkles, it can sometimes be drying or irritating. Peptides are generally much gentler and focus on strengthening the skin. Adding peptides to a retinol routine can help support the skin barrier and improve firmness without adding extra irritation.

Generally, yes. Peptides are naturally occurring in the body and are usually well-tolerated, even by sensitive skin types. Unlike strong acids or high-strength retinoids that can strip the skin barrier, peptides are more about nourishment and signaling. However, as with any new product, we always recommend a patch test first just to be safe.

The general rule for serums is "thinnest to thickest." Since Peptide Squad has a lightweight, gel-like texture, it usually fits in the middle of your routine.

• Morning: Cleanse → Glow Maker → Peptide Squad → Moisturizer → Sunscreen.
• Night: Cleanse → Peptide Squad → Moonlight (Retinal) → Moisturizer.

Yes. Peptides are gentle enough for twice-daily use. Using them morning and night ensures your skin has a constant supply of those helpful "messengers" around the clock. If you prefer to keep it simple, once a day is perfectly fine too.
