What Peptides does
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 Peptides and Squalane together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Peptides and Squalane, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier and hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Peptides or Squalane?
Apply Peptides first, then Squalane. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
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.
Should I use Squalane in the morning or at night?
Squalane: works morning or night. Press 2–3 drops in as the last step at night, or mix a drop into your moisturiser.
