Most leave-on cosmetics use copper peptides at parts-per-million, so this sits well above the customary range.

It occurs naturally in the body and declines with age, and it takes part in collagen synthesis. In skin models it raises collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production; in 12-week facial cream trials it improved measured collagen production and reduced wrinkle volume against control creams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eWhy four hyaluronic acids?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eBecause they behave differently. High molecular weight forms sit as a moisturizing film, low molecular weight forms raise surface moisture and travel further, and crosslinked forms are used because native hyaluronic acid has a half-life of only 12 to 24 hours. A blend covers more of the surface than one form does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eWhat if it stings?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eThe manufacturer's own answer: add a few drops to your favourite skin cream to dilute it rather than dropping the product. A 3% peptide serum is a strong leave-on, and cutting it into a cream is how sensitive skin usually gets on with it. Stop if irritation persists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eCan I use it with my other actives?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eGeneral practice: serum first, heavier products after.
