What it does
Hydrates skin so it feels comfortable and looks plumper and smoother. Two peptides work alongside: GHK-Cu to help improve the look of firmness and skin quality, and SNAP-8 to help soften the appearance of expression lines.
The science
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, chosen in skincare for specific jobs. GHK-Cu is a copper peptide widely studied in skin science; SNAP-8 is a modern cosmetic peptide developed with expression lines in mind; hyaluronic acid provides the hydration they work alongside.

What Our Customers Say
Simple to work into my usual routine. My skin feels smoother to the touch, and that’s exactly the sort of everyday difference I was hoping for.
Evening skincare used to feel like a chore. Now I quite look forward to it. My skin feels really nice afterwards, and the bottle is gorgeous.
Such a lovely soft finish. I especially notice it on the days I’m not wearing makeup and can actually feel how smooth my skin is.
I didn’t notice much at first, but after keeping up with my routine my skin started feeling smoother. Glad I gave it some time.
My routine is pretty basic, and this fits in without any fuss. My skin feels softer, and I like the fresh look it has afterwards.
I bought it because I wanted my skin to feel a bit less rough. I’ve been consistent with it, and I’m happy with how it’s feeling.
Honestly, I just like touching my cheeks after I’ve used it. They feel so smooth. A nice little step before bed.
I’m quite fussy with skincare. This has been easy to keep using, and I like the way my skin feels afterwards. Soft without that heavy feeling.
My makeup seems to sit a little more evenly since I added this to my routine. My cheeks feel smoother too, which is probably my favourite part.
I noticed the softness before anything else. Nothing dramatic, just my skin feeling nicer when I put my moisturiser on.
The bottle looks lovely on my bathroom shelf, but the soft skin is what keeps me reaching for it. Very pleased so far.
I use it in the evening and love how my skin feels the next morning. Soft, smooth and just a bit less dull-looking.
