I have been using a matrixyl 3000 serum from No. 7 for about 10 or 15 years, it's effective for me. It's the Perfect and Protect Intense Advanced Serum. No one ever talks about No. 7 but it's very effective at smoothing texture around my mouth and chin. It also contains hyaluronic acid and vitamins A, C & E.
Agree! The perfect and protect was on the news years ago saying research results showed it was the closest thing to RetinA ..and actually WORKED. There were lines for blocks outside the Boots store in London to get it! I got one but paid 4 times the cost🤪🙄.. used it for a long time.. but then my storestopped carrying it so I switched to the retin A from my doctor-because it was so good, I had no trouble with the prescription!. Loved the No7 products in general. They have a tremendous amount of research in their products and not a lot of fluff trendy stuff. Their new Future Renew is really exciting.. which I just ordered!
That would be interesting since not all derms agree about peptides as far as whether or not they do what the studies say they do or even question the studies since most are done by the brand touting the particular peptide. Though most agree that they are at least humectants.
I know you didn't ask me- but I figured I'd tell you what I know. She rarely responds to comments in my experience lol. For the most part studies on peptides are manufacturer studies. Which, if you're not familiar, basically means they are studies conducted by the manufacturers of those specific peptides/ingredients. So their results should typically be taken with a grain of salt. Manufacturer studies aren't as randomized or as controlled as clinical trials (which are properly controlled, have large sample sizes, are double blind, independently conducted, etc.). Long story short, it's hard to trust manufacturer studies because they will find a specific "finding" in the study and run with it. For example: with peptides, their studies showed an improvement in wrinkles. Which is great. However; were wrinkles reduced because of collagen improvement OR is it because they hydrated the skin (peptides are great at holding onto water)? Hyaluronic acid can also reduce wrinkles via hydration. So- this is just one example of how a manufacturer study works. They will find some improvements with their studies and focus only on those instead of looking at the bigger picture. Copper peptides on the other hand are very well studied and a key part of my anti-aging products. So, stick with copper peptides if you want true anti-aging benefits. My favorite is The Ordinary Multi Peptide +1% Copper Peptide. Not only does it include copper peptides, it also includes a wide range of other peptide complexes mentioned in this video. So it's an all-in-one peptide product. It's AMAZING.
@FuriedHearts I have just bought the same copper peptide product and waiting for it to arrive. I heard you can't use peptides and vitamin c in the same routine. I'd be interested to know your routine. I'm 62
Love my “Buffet” with Copper Peptides!!! CosRx Peptide eye cream and Drunk Elephant Polypeptide cream and am trying the new No7 eye cream I LOVE PEPTIDES!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Would love if you would do an updated skincare routine video am/pm. I started doing some of your am pm recommendations from your video a year ago and starting to see some results. Thanks!
Love your videos, I learned a lot from them. Could you please also put something together for anti-aging routine for mixed/oily skin too? Thank you in advance!
Please do a video showing your morning and evening routine with products and in the order you use them. I need a routine that is spelled out for me. It’s too confusing with so many products and what goes with what and how to use them.
I recently started using the Accure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream which is a lower cost alternative to the Drunk Elephant Protini cream. I am on my second tube and so far I like it. I use it as my morning moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup go over it easily.
When you do these wonderful videos, please tell us how to incorporate it in our Routines. Can it go on with retinal? Can you lair with Vitamin C et cetera?
Definitely had the same question! It seems the peptide shouldn’t be payed with retinol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w3ni5SgHauk.htmlsi=GEpY0YlJD9YQMnCI
I love your videos! I would love to see a dry skin morning and night routine videos with different price point options and morning products that are good for make up application. TIA 😊
Hi. Found her 2 years ago and use many of her suggestions and looking back on photos, I can really see a difference. Go to one of her earlier videos, Drugstore anti-aging skincare routine. I bought one product from each category and follow her instructions. Good luck
Is there a specific reason you have confidence in peptides? Because I've been under the impression that most of the studies on peptides (except copper peptides- which have a lot of studies backing them) have been manufacturer studies. So are they really signaling for collagen and things like that in your opinion? Also, curious of your opinion on this manufacturer studies only thing. I know peptides are also great humectants and I think I've heard people say that some of the benefits seen from peptides comes from their ability to plump and hydrate the skin. Just curious what you think. I love The Ordinary Copper Peptides 1% because not only does it contain 1% copper peptides, it also contains many other peptide complexes. So the copper is doing some anti aging and the others are there as a "just in case". So at least I know I'm getting all of them.
So I splurged and got the biossance copper peptide serum. Have been using it well over a month...maybe 2 months. Can't say I see any difference at all really. Will stick with more affordable options from now on.
There’s copper peptide in my Isntree Ampoule and I really like it. It has lots of other great ingredients so I’m not sure of the individual benefits. But the ampoule is a staple in my routine now🎉❤
Matrixyl and other peptides can be used with all other active ingredients (vitamin C, retinol). Copper peptides are an active ingredient so no typically do not mix actives and use at the same time of day: acids, retnoids, vitamin c. I alternate my morning routine to incorporate copper peptides: one day vitamin c, Coq10, peptide moisturizer and next morning copper peptide, matrixyl, moisturizer.
@@tracyverba2691but the Ordinary multipeptide serum( matrixyl 3000 and S6) has instructions not to be used with vitamin c. So can peptides be used with vit c or not? So confusing( I am not refering to copper peptides but the normal ones)
@@nn7397 If you're referring to the Ordinary multi peptide with copper, you're correct you cannot use it with vitamin C. I'm using the Ordinary Matrixyl with HA but if it's the Ordinary peptide serum WITHOUT copper peptide: it should be fine. The Ordinary makes 2 peptide serums: one with copper peptide and one without copper peptide.
I love copper peptides! I use one by Loren Pickart’s brand. He’s the scientist who first isolated these peptides and his VIP Serum is a really nice formulation 😊
Can you do a video on difference between Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Clarins Double Serurm, also Biossance. Are they worth the money or pass on them?
Ive worked in high end beauty since my 20s. I am now 54. These products are so overpriced. There are much better products out there that are very affordable.
@@roxannesimpson5635 depends on what your skin concerns are. There are a ton of affordable vit C serums although none of them did anything for me. I love peptides and glycolic acid. I also do a glycolic acid peel once a week. Acure has a peptide moisturizer that is very inexpensive. As the derm stated above The Ordinary and The Inkey List have peptide serums. I truly believe there are too many skincare lines and we are all bombarded with the next best thing as far as trendy ingredients. If your skin can tolerate it chose a good retinol. Avene has a good one but it’s expensive. I don’t do retinols. Did nothing for my skin but irritate it.
First off I love all your videos, I’ve learned so much from you! I’m so thankful you do these videos! What kind of peptide is the best for anti-aging? I’m looking for an affordable anti-aging peptide serum I could add into my routine. I do use retinol as well, but I’ve heard great things about peptides. So i wasn’t too sure which was best to go for weather it’s the inkey list peptide serum? The ordinary peptide serum? Or the copper peptide serum? Please helppp…. Thank you!!
Is there a specific way to incorporate a peptide product with other actives? I use a vitamin C serum in the morning, can I go from the thinner to thicker?
Generallly, want active ingredient (vitamin c, retinal) as 1st ingredient you apply. However, if active is a cream (I use tretnoin from Curology and it's a cream), apply serums 1st then creams. So yes, thinnest to thickest, unless your active is also a serum (ie Timeless Vitamin C serum), then apply active 1st, then your other serums and creams.
Agree that the most basic anti-aging products are moisturizer, sunscreen and some sort of retinoid. Dr. Locke does have several anti-aging video routines you can check out from budget to drugstore and one of her older anti-aging videos focuses on three anti-aging must haves.
@nancyhillard6456 I feel the same way, Nancy! It really is so confusing! There are disagreements on what's best to use, what to combine & not combine, & then such a price difference on what is available!! Pricey isn't always better. Sometimes it is. Oftentimes, I just feel like I need to have a derm look at my face, do a full body check, & then based on THEIR professional opinion, offer me a list of more budget friendly products of what I need, & a list of higher end products for me, if I choose to use any of them. Then I can choose, but at least I'll have a good professional direction to go in! I think that would solve a lot of issues & questions, for me, because I want to do the best for my skin! Have a great weekend, Nancy 😊! Although, I get frustrated, I feel good knowing that I am not the only one who struggles with this whole process 😅❤😁!😮
I've watched and enjoyed several of your videos, and would like to request that you provide (whenever possible) actual percentages/amounts of the star ingredient in the various products you recommend. You said in a different video that the Avene Bakuchiol serum has 1.5% Bakuchiol, but you didn't mention how much is in the other products in the video. Also, I would love to know which peptides, etc are in the products. Sometimes a product might have less of the star ingredient, and yet be a better product. I know this probably requires more research, however, the info would go a long way in helping your viewers choose the product that might best serve their needs. I've looked up products myself, but maybe a professional would be more successful in finding the info. Thank you for all the work you do!
As others commented. When do u use these in routine? I never know before or after my Tret at night. I use timeless coQ in am, after my Vit c and lactic acid. I have used the drmtlgy needless for years at night. Thank for the info looking forward to seeing your routine. Hugs fr9m Tampa.
I got the dermelect lip treatment from last time Dr talked about it and use it for the smile lines as well as what they call jawls [bottom part of cheek] and it is working to smooth them out
Thank you! I use copper peptides in my routine. It's hard to say what works because I use a lot of things vitamin c, coenzyme q10,, Tretinoin, all of whichi have been using consistently for quite a while. I also get micro-needling about every six weeks with a glycolic acid peel. It all seems to work in harmony. Even my seventy-two-year-old neck seems to be improving.
I too recently started using a peptide cream. I want to move up to something better so I will try some of these. Dr Marren, any thoughts on the Boots No7 Future Renew serum for peptides? This is the one I am looking at right now?
Could you comment on OneSkin, which has a proprietary peptide, and the brand of peptides, Viktoria DeAnn? This is a good topic for a deep dive, thanks.
Another dermatologist mentioned Cetaphil Healthy Renew Anti Aging Face Serum, which has peptides. Apparently it’s good for sensitive skin. I’m curious if you’ve tried it?
Love The Ordinary Copper peptides. I can really see more hydration in my skin, and my forehead lines almost disappear using this. You can't use this with vit. C. On the other hand, while using vit.C I don't see any difference in my skin. Used different vit.c products, and I see absolutely nothing.
Is it safe to use the new Ordinary buffet with copper peptide with tretinoin at night? Their website says no (cautioned use with actives) but I like to use tretinoin nightly and a vitamin C in the am. Thank you.
Some derms have said when it comes to ingredients that can possibly cause irritation when used together, to space out application by around 30 minutes. Or use the copper peptides one night and the tret another night. Don't know which form of vit c you use, but copper peptides can supposedly be used with vit c derivatives as well but not ascorbic acid.
I've been using them together for several years with no problem whatsoever. I use a hyaluronic acid then the copper peptides then my moisturizer then the Retin-A to prevent any irritation.
Interesting... I've used thr Ordinary's Copper Peptide Buffet. I saw no difference in my skin at all. Sometimes stuff works, sometimes not. I get the same reaction with any Vit C product. I've tried a bunch and been disappointed every time. I know it's beneficial, but my skin is not changed in the least. But I keep trying!
I’m not sure where to put my peptides in my routine. I cleanse, use secret key essence, maelove moonlight, and then moisturize for night. For day I replace maelove moonlight with three ships skin hero, maelove glow maker and then moisturizer with spf. Where would I insert my ordinary multipeptide with copper???
Can you please do a video on sebhorreic dermatitis on skin and scalp and good drugstore products to help with controlling and relief? I have tried Avene and it didn't work for me and was expensive. I really would like to know your recommendations.
I did try maelove peptide serum and it was very irritating for me. I was very upset about that. I got very red and flush in the face. Like I had a bad sunburn. I am trying others.
Hopefully you respond to this but i have had acne for many years. I have tried multiple creams and pills and some stuff works but just a little bit. I want to accutane but the side effects and a possibility of liver problems is risky. And im scared of needles for the blood tests. Do you recommend it?
I'm just a Mom but just wanted to pass on that my son was put on the Accutane Generic called Claravis his Senior yr of High School. I was worried about the listed possible side effects but honestly, he had Zero side effects, didn't get the horrible burned skin look either, and has had the most gorgeous, clear skin since then (10 yrs!) Was shocked and grateful!
I don't want to scare you just caution you. I took accutane in my early twenties and acquired every single side effect listed. Liver damage, psychological problems, it stopped my period Permanently, degenerative disc disease which progressed into scoliosis that I just had a 15-hour surgery to correct. Please weigh the risks carefully before taking.
This is my first time hearing about this product , but ma'am can this also be applied all over the body ? I need help with products that will work well for my body
Gold Bond has a retinol body lotion chock full of great ingredients (peptides, retinol, squalene, glycerin, etc etc). They also have a vitamin C body lotion. They're very affordable too.
I have to say the best video explaining peptides in a way I could understand is this one...she uses things I can relate to: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tilL8IJqIMI.htmlsi=5phORPEDStNVHNHX . So if you are not a science nerd, this one may help.
