How we score →Mixed
9 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Quick absorption and a silky, lightweight feel are what stand out about this peptide serum, and several takes praise how fast it sinks in. Several gurus say it helps firm and plump the skin, and it sits well alongside tretinoin or retinol. The one thing to keep in mind is scent, since one take calls it smelly, and a couple of gurus feel it is pricey and less impressive next to newer serums.
