Peptides are short chains of amino acids used in skincare to support the look of firmness and smoothness over time. They are the slow-burn end of a routine — better judged over months than weeks — and they layer comfortably alongside retinoids and vitamin C rather than competing with them.

New to them? The Academy entry on peptides explains how signal and carrier types differ, and copper peptides covers the one most people ask about by name.

Frequently asked questions

Which peptide serum should I start with?

Start with Medik8 Liquid Peptides, a multi-peptide serum that smooths the look of fine lines and works morning and night under moisturiser. If antioxidant protection matters to you, AlumierMD EverActive C&E + Peptide pairs peptides with fresh vitamin C and E for firmer, brighter-looking skin. Both are gentle enough to use daily from the outset.

How do I activate and use EverActive C&E + Peptide?

AlumierMD EverActive C&E + Peptide comes as a powder and serum you snap together at first use, which keeps the vitamin C potent rather than degrading in the bottle. Once activated, use it within four to six weeks, which is why it's sold as single or triple packs. Apply four drops each morning before SPF.

Which peptide product targets loss of firmness?

For firmness and the look of deeper lines, Alumience A.G.E. Serum combines peptides with antioxidants to target glycation, one of the drivers of visible ageing. Use it in the evening after cleansing, then follow with HydraRich for richer skin or HydraLight if you're oilier. Give it eight weeks of nightly use to see smoother-looking skin.

Are peptides good for the eye area?

The eye area responds well to peptides, so use AlumierMD AluminEye Eye Serum or Alastin Restorative Eye Complex to firm the look of the under-eye and soften fine lines. The Rejuvenating Eye Collection bundles complementary steps if you want a complete eye routine. Apply with your ring finger, patting rather than dragging.

Can I use peptides on my body and with breakouts?

Peptides aren't just for the face: Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment uses TriHex Technology to smooth the look of crêpey skin on arms and legs. On the face, layer Medik8 Liquid Peptides under HydraClarité if you're blemish-prone, since peptides won't aggravate breakouts. Massage TransFORM into the body twice daily and use Liquid Peptides morning and night on the face.
