Short chains of amino acids that signal skin to support collagen and repair. They are gentle, a good anti-ageing option for people who cannot tolerate retinoids, and they layer easily.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration and barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Hyaluronic Acid or Peptides?
Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Peptides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
Should I use Peptides in the morning or at night?
Peptides: works morning or night. Use morning and night after water-based serums. Low-pH acids applied at the same time can break some peptides down.
