Product Information
When applied topically to the skin, peptides act as messengers molecules, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions like building collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid as well regulating the production of the pigment melanin which causes uneven skin tone. Young skin is active, low in pH (more acidic) than older skin and full of cellular activity which declines with age. The use of cosmetics and products (yes, moisturisers by themselves will reduce cell signalling! As well as UV exposure.
Peptides are a great asset to activate your skin when used in a sequential regime that increases cell turnover and stimulates the cell (Exfoliants & Retinoids). Mild to moderate acute inflammation (with retinoids and antioxidants) are often purposely induced in individuals with sensitive damage skin barriers (chronic inflammation).
Stimulate MP compromises of multiple peptides (regulating various cellular activities) at potent concentrations requiring application only in drops (two on the average!).
The base of the formulation contains hyaluronic acid as we expect this to combat dryness due to retinoids and exfoliants. As a standalone, it is an excellent eye serum.

Tips & Suggestions
- As emphasised above, peptides are at the top of the clinical skincare pyramid. Ideally, the skin is already using:
- AHAs: Continuously exfoliated with glycolic and lactic acid as less dead skin increases penetration of active ingredients
- Antioxidants: A reservoir of l-ascorbic acid lowers oxidative stress/damaging free radical level) that impair cellular function and signalling.
- Retinoid: Repair cell nuclear function, decrease inflammatory mediators and repair DNA making the cell production facilities respond quickly to external messages by peptides.
Directions
AM/PM
Apply a max of 3-4 drops to clean face & lightly dab around the eye area morning & evening.
Cautions
- For external use only
- Discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs

I love this product. I have always been dissatisfied with serums or moisturisers as I always felt that they were just sitting on the top layer of my skin. Whereas I can feel this serum going down to the lower levels. My skin feels refreshed and it has definitely improved my skin. I have been using for two years now and can highly recommend it.

This the best peptide serum I’ve used. The bottle lasts a long time as you only need a few drops.. I love that this product actually gives the results it promises

I couldn’t find a higher level of those peptides in any other serum. It feels smooth and non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin like mine. I followed the advice and just used 2 drops after vitamin c serum in the morning. 3 weeks later notice a good change to my skin. Staff very helpful in guiding
