How To Use

Activation (First Use): Press down firmly on the bottle lid until it clicks, then shake vigorously for 30 seconds to activate the formula. Recycle the lid and replace with the provided dropper.

Application: After cleansing in the morning and evening, dispense 6 drops of Oxy-R Peptides and blend evenly across face, neck, and décolletage, carefully avoiding the eye area.

Frequency: Use twice daily, morning and evening, as part of your regular skincare routine.

Timing: Apply after water-based cleansers and serums, before heavier oil-based vitamin C serums and moisturisers in the morning. In the evening, apply before vitamin A serums and moisturisers.

Layering: For optimal results, use as part of the Medik8 CSA philosophy: vitamin C and sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. Oxy-R Peptides enhances the brightening benefits of this routine.

Expert Tips: Always use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using Oxy-R Peptides to help prevent further hyperpigmentation. Activate the second bottle only after finishing the first to maintain maximum potency. Patch testing prior to use is advised.

FAQ

Q: How long will it take to see results from Oxy-R Peptides?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate that skin appears visibly brighter after just 7 days of twice-daily use, with significant dark spot reduction typically visible within 4 weeks. For optimal long-term results addressing stubborn hyperpigmentation, we recommend continued use for 8-12 weeks whilst consistently wearing SPF protection during the day.

Q: Can I use Oxy-R Peptides with other active ingredients like vitamin C and retinol?
A: Absolutely. Oxy-R Peptides is specifically designed as a CSA booster to enhance the brightening benefits of vitamin C and vitamin A products. In the morning, apply after cleansing but before your vitamin C serum. In the evening, apply before your vitamin A product. This layering approach amplifies overall brightening results whilst maintaining skin comfort.

Q: Why does the serum turn brown after activation?
A: The deep brown colour is entirely natural and indicates that the oxyresveratrol has been successfully activated. Oxyresveratrol naturally presents as brown when dissolved in water-based solutions. This colour change confirms the click-activation technology has worked correctly and your serum is ready to deliver its full brightening power.

Q: Is Oxy-R Peptides suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Independent clinical studies show that 92% of users agreed Oxy-R Peptides was gentle on their skin. Oxyresveratrol is known to be non-irritating and non-sensitising. However, we always recommend patch testing prior to use, particularly if you have extremely sensitive or reactive skin.

Q: Can this be used on all skin tones?
A: Oxy-R Peptides has been clinically proven effective on all Fitzpatrick skin types 1-6. The product was specifically tested on a diverse panel with 33% of participants having deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick 5-6), where post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation tends to be more prevalent. Results demonstrated efficacy across all skin tones tested.

Q: How should I store the product after activation?
A: After clicking to activate each bottle, store at room temperature away from windows and direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures (very hot or cold environments) as these can affect product stability. Each activated bottle remains potent for 6 weeks. Do not activate the second bottle until you have finished the first to ensure maximum freshness and efficacy.
