After your next ride-or-die serum that really does it all? This one from Medik8 has been coined ‘magic in a little bottle’, proven to not only hydrate, but turn back the clocks on your skin. And fast.

Yep, this serum claims to ‘reduce the appearance of expression lines and deep-set wrinkles in just one bottle’, which is a pretty enticing claim.

The Medik8 Liquid Peptides 30% Complex Multi-Peptide Age-Defying Serum is an advanced daily peptide serum that’s formulated with no fewer than ten peptides in a 30% blend, working to both slow and prevent the visible formation of expression lines and deep wrinkles.

That means that after just one bottle, you can expect to see plumper, firmer skin, a reduction in wrinkles and restored hydration. Pretty much all you need in one serum, then.

Designed to support the skin’s natural age-defying functions, the supercharged serum features drone-targeted technology to deliver Medik8’s unique blend of potent peptides right where they’re needed most in the skin, ensuring maximum benefits.

And these peptides really are the serum’s main, hero ingredient thanks to their skin-firming proteins for visible firming, plumping and wrinkle-smoothing results.

‘Peptides are short chains of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds,’ Medik8 Chief Product Officer Daniel Isaacs explained.

‘There are 20 individual naturally-occurring amino acids which can be linked together in any order to give millions of different peptide combinations; with each helping to target different skin concerns.’

And to finish it all off, the serum is rich in multi-molecular hyaluronic acid (HA), capable of drawing in and holding over 1,000 times its own weight in water, thus helping skin stay plump and moisturised by absorbing water from the environment and locking it into the skin’s surface.

The brand recommends massaging six drops into clean, dry skin of the face, neck and decolletage, then leaving to absorb before moisturiser.  

Need to see it to believe it? Before and afters of beauty buffs using the serum have been shocking, while the proof is also in the proven results.

In an independent consumer study on Liquid Peptides on 60 participants over eight weeks, 98% agreed it was gentle on the skin, while 97% experienced long lasting hydration.

It was also proven to improve skin firmness and plumpness, visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and leave the skin looking younger, all in just seven days.

But the studies aren’t even the most convincing part, because the over 1100 five-star reviews for the potent serum are what truly blow us away.

‘Love this product,’ Raved one five-star reviewer. ‘This is my third bottle, it just works so well, makes the skin plump and made my fine lines almost non-existent.’

Another wrote: ‘My skin feels much more hydrated and plump after using this. After consistent use, I’ve noticed a slight improvement in skin texture, especially around fine lines. Even with sensitive skin, I didn’t experience irritation, which is a huge plus for me.’

Another shopper said they ‘can see a noticeable difference,’ sharing how at 58 ‘someone was shocked to hear my age’ claiming they thought she was in her late 40s.

Ready for the skin you’ve always dreamed off? We’ve got it right here in a neat little bottle. You’re welcome.
