Key actives
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (110 ppb)
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (10 ppb)
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCL (10 ppb)
This is a three-amino-acid peptide bound to copper and supplied as a hydrochloride salt. Copper peptides are blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying one is tinted.
copper tripeptide-1 (10 ppb)
Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines.
niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
hydrolyzed elastin
Hydrolyzed Elastin is fragments of elastin, the protein that gives skin its snap back. Like collagen it cannot rebuild the real thing from the outside; it holds water and leaves a smooth film.
How do I use this essence?
Use it after toner, before serum or ampoule. AM and PM.
Where does this fit if I already use sunscreen or makeup?
Apply it before sunscreen or makeup, and let it absorb fully first so it does not pill under the next layer.

How it works
The panel on this ampoule names nine forms of peptide rather than one: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (110 ppb), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (10 ppb), Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCL (10 ppb), copper tripeptide-1 (10 ppb), dipeptide-2 (10 ppb), palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (10 ppb), palmitoyl tripeptide-1 (10 ppb), tripeptide-1 (10 ppb), Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (10 ppb). Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface. On this panel it sits alongside niacinamide, Allantoin and hydrolyzed elastin. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
How to use
- Use it after toner, before serum or ampoule. AM and PM. Use two to three drops per application; Niacinamide works best given a few seconds to sink in before the next layer goes on, rather than being sealed in wet.
