You shouldn't need an adjustment period to look after your skin.
Retinol has the strongest evidence of any anti-ageing ingredient. It also brings flaking, tightness and stinging for many people in the first weeks, and routines built around slow starts and nights off. Plenty of people stop before it has had time to work.
Peptides take a gentler route. There's no vitamin A, no adjustment period, and nothing to keep to evenings. The evidence for our hero peptide is early, and we set it out in full below.
What's in the bottle.
This formula doesn't have consumer-perception testing yet, so instead of results we show you exactly what it's made of and how it's certified. The research behind its ingredients comes further down.
Origin percentages are calculated to the COSMOS standard. The 2% refers to the hexapeptide-11 ingredient as supplied; peptide ingredients are usually diluted, and we've asked for the pure peptide content.
Hexapeptide-11
A six-amino-acid peptide first found in yeast
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Hexapeptide-11 was first isolated from yeast and is now made to high purity. In a lab study, it switched on skin cells' own maintenance and antioxidant systems and helped protect them from stress-induced ageing.
The same study included a small skin-elasticity test on volunteers, where it improved elasticity. The evidence is early, and we set it out in full below.
What each active does
Evidence refers to published research on each ingredient, usually in other products. None of it is a test of this serum.
How it differs from a retinol serum.
Describes ingredient type, evidence and usage guidance. It isn't a head-to-head test against a named retinol product.
What studies show about each ingredient.
These studies test an ingredient, usually in a different product. They explain why each ingredient is in this serum. They are not results for this serum.
Hexapeptide-11
Human skin and lung cells in a lab, plus a small skin-deformation test of elasticity on volunteers.
In cells, it switched on maintenance and antioxidant systems and protected against stress-induced ageing. On volunteers, skin elasticity improved.
The human part was small and short. Our 2% refers to the ingredient as supplied; we've asked for the pure peptide content.
Hyaluronic acid
76 women aged 30–60 applied 0.1% hyaluronic acid creams around one eye twice a day for 60 days, with a plain cream around the other.
Every molecular weight improved hydration and elasticity. The two smallest also reduced measured wrinkle depth.
A different cream. Our concentration isn't published.
Sodium PCA
A review of research on PCA, the largest single part of the skin's own natural moisturising factor.
Creams with at least 2% PCA or PCA salt improved dry skin.
An older review, much of it the authors' own work. Our percentage isn't known.
Aloe vera
20 women used creams with 0.10–0.50% freeze-dried aloe on the forearm daily for two weeks.
Every aloe concentration raised the water content of the skin's outer layer.
A small forearm study. It says nothing about lines.
Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline
An oil-soluble form of hydroxyproline, an amino acid found in skin.
Its maker reports firmer-looking skin and fewer visible wrinkles, without publishing the study details.
We found no independent, peer-reviewed human trial.
Every ingredient, printed in full.
99% natural origin, 20% organic origin. Certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert Greenlife. Vegan, gluten free and nut free. The soft peach tint comes from iron oxide pigments. As a water-based formula it contains sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, both allowed under COSMOS.

If your skin is reactive, patch test on your inner forearm once a day for five days before first use on your face.

Questions, answered honestly.
The origin percentages are calculated to the COSMOS standard for our formula. The 2% hexapeptide-11 and 1% ginkgo figures are the amounts of those ingredients in our formula as stated to us. This serum doesn't have consumer testing yet.
It's the amount of the hexapeptide-11 ingredient in the formula. Peptide ingredients are usually supplied diluted, so the pure peptide content is lower. We've asked for the exact figure.
We can't claim that. Retinol has decades of trials; hexapeptide-11 has a lab study and a small elasticity test. What this serum offers is a gentle routine with no adjustment period.
Yes. It's a light, fast-absorbing serum for anyone.
Yes. Use the serum in the morning and retinol at night, or the serum first and retinol after if your skin tolerates both.
No. Store it somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight.
