Key actives
Tripeptide-1
Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
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
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
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.
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.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
Adenosine
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
How to use
- Warm a small amount between the palms and press evenly over the face and neck as the last step of a morning or evening routine.
What does Tripeptide-1 do in this formula?
Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
Morning and evening as the last step of a routine, adjusting the amount for how dry or oily skin feels that day. Consistency across a full skin cycle of several weeks matters far more than an occasional use for a moisturizer like this one, since most of its benefit shows up with steady, repeated application.
Who is this moisturizer best suited for?
This moisturizer is best suited for normal, dry, combination, oily skin, particularly anyone dealing with dehydration and tight-feeling skin. Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.

How it works
The panel on this cream names nine forms of peptide rather than one: Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCL, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-11, Hexapeptide-9, Nonapeptide-1. Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint. On this panel it sits alongside Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Adenosine. 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.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.
- Store away from direct sunlight and high heat to keep the texture and scent stable over time.
- Introduce one new active at a time when adding this into an existing routine.
