What the gurus are saying

The encapsulated copper peptides at 3% concentration stand out because they let people layer freely with vitamin C and retinoids without worry, a major selling point for anyone who has hesitated over peptide compatibility. The serum earns consistent praise for its lightweight, water-based texture and affordable price, though one reviewer found it sat heavier on skin during summer and may suit dry skin and cooler months better. Most gurus highlight the multitasking blend of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants as a time-saving step that covers plumping, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one formula.

"The Mad About Skin has an amazing ingredient deck, but it just didn't work for me for summer time. [...] The ingredient deck is beautiful and it's a wonderfully hydrating serum, but [...] it sits a little bit heavier on the skin. In the warmer days of the summer I was having trouble getting this to dry down. I think it's going to be better suited for dry skin and in the winter time."

"I currently use my own peptide serum, the Mad About Skin Skin Perfecting Peptide Serum, which has a multitude of different peptides from the collagen boosting through to the hydrating and the carrier peptides too."

All 8 takes from Mad About Skin

BEST SKINCARE ROUTINE 2024 - Best Anti Aging Skincare

"The budget is going to win. The reason is I just don't think we need to overpay for peptides anymore. There's a lot of technology coming into the skincare space with peptides that mean they're super flexible, they're easy to use, and you don't need to pay a whole lot. [...] The reason I go for this is it's encapsulated so you can use it alongside your vitamin C without any issues."

Full KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE - Ultimate Korean Skincare Favourites

"This is amazing because you've got a super high dose of copper peptides, you've got a 20% overall blend of peptides in here doing everything for the skin to plump, to boost collagen and elastin. [...] I've been using it consistently for the past two or more months, and [...] two pumps put this on the skin and it just feels beautiful because it's so light and water-based."

Next Level BOTOX IN A BOTTLE SERUM - Best Anti Aging Serum

"I've been using this on a morning to give me that instant volume and plumpness. [...] There's a good dose of hyaluronic acid in here so if you're using a separate hyaluronic acid serum, [...] I personally would ditch that and use this in the place of it. [...] Because this has a decent amount of hyaluronic acid in you probably don't want to use a standalone hyaluronic acid serum alongside it that might be too much for the skin."

SKINCARE LIVESTREAM - Come And Chat

"The serum is the number one product that targets wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation altogether. Unfortunately it's out of stock for the next three weeks, but it's coming back imminently."

NEXT LEVEL PEPTIDE SERUMS - Ultimate Botox In A Bottle Anti Aging

"You've got a plethora of different antioxidants so if you're looking for an encapsulated copper peptide serum plus an antioxidant serum all-in-one this is the one for you. I'm really thinking about the formulation rather than just slacking peptide on the label. The feedback has been phenomenal."

This Actually Works - COPPER PEPTIDES FOR HAIR GROWTH

"I've been using this for the past four months and I've seen some fantastic results. [...] I went with this option because it's got that 3% concentration and I wanted to give the copper peptides the maximum strength and opportunity to perform. [...] I didn't really notice any results until month two, but it was at that month two point that I definitely noticed my hair was thicker, it was fuller, it just felt healthier."

AGE IN REVERSE - Best Anti Aging Skincare Ingredients 2024

"Mad About Skin Skin Perfecting Peptide Serum has a 3% concentration of encapsulated copper peptides, meaning this is great for people that don't want to worry about layering and pairing. If you've heard all of the horror stories about what you can and can't use with copper peptides and it's just made you never want to reach for them, use this because that copper peptide is encapsulated."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
