Beauty fans have praised one particular product they claim has given them ‘visible improvements’ for their skin and it’s also left those with mature skin impressed too, as one user said it has ‘everything their 49-year-old skin needs’.
The product is from leading skincare brand Medik8, and is its Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Serum, which is now reduced to £59.25, down from the full price of £79. This 30ml bottle promises around 80 uses per bottle, as estimated by the brand.
Thanks to its pharmaceutical-grade precision peptide technology, this serum is said to help users see a reduction in deep-set wrinkles. It helps to build elasticity and firmness, helping even out those deep-set lines in just eight weeks, according to Medik8.
The brand’s Chief Product Officer, Daniel Isaacs, says: “Discover precision peptide technology for dramatic visible wrinkle reduction. Formulated with a potent blend of 13 age-defying peptides including breakthrough Dual MiniProteins.” Among its ingredients is a 30% Multi-Peptide Complex too, which the brand describes as: “A dynamic blend of 13 age-defying peptides, including copper peptides and Matrixyl 3000, designed to visibly smooth and restore the appearance of skin’s youthful texture.”
It’s a serum for day and night use, developed over 18 months with a science-led formula, to deliver a ‘filler-like effect’ on wrinkles. The brand says 100% of people surveyed also showed a clinical improvement in the look of wrinkles, according to a clinical study on Liquid Peptides Advanced MP tested on 20 participants at 10 minutes and eight weeks.
Furthermore, another clinical study, conducted over eight weeks on 91 participants, saw 86% agree no new lines or wrinkles formed since using the serum, and the same percentage agreed their skin structure felt firmer too.
They recommend using it in the morning and evening after cleansing, before applying moisturiser, with application being one to two pumps across the face, neck and decolletage area. It takes a few seconds to absorb. The serum is also fragrance free and certified by The Vegan Society.
For alternatives, shoppers can look at The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Aging Skin from Boots. Costing £13.51, this serum combines five peptide technologies, amino acids and hyaluronic acid complexes, which all help target the signs of ageing, the brand says. It’s described as being a lightweight serum that is also fast-absorbing.
At SpaceNK, Naturium’s Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum is £27 for 30ml. It’s an affordable option, that contains Argireline Amplified peptide, an ingredient the brand says will improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and also aids with smoothness.
But with 3,620 reviews, the Medik8 product has pleased buyers. One shopper said: “Lightweight and silky consistency, you only need a tiny amount to cover the whole face and leaves my skin feeling amazingly hydrated and wrinkles and fine lines immediately look less visible. Love it!”
It was described as a ‘standout serum’ by one beauty fan, who said: “The texture is silky and lightweight, so it sinks right into the skin without any stickiness. I love that it’s packed with peptides — it feels like I’m giving my skin a real boost of strength and bounce. After consistent use, my skin looks smoother, plumper, and more radiant, especially around fine lines. It layers beautifully with the rest of my routine and adds that extra ‘healthy glow’ I’ve been wanting. Definitely a standout serum if you’re serious about anti-aging and keeping your skin firm and hydrated.”
A user with more mature skin said: “I am obsessed with this product! The fact that it minimizes your lines in minutes and has growth factors that help with wrinkles, it has everything my 49-year-old mature skin needs. I have seen visible improvements since I started using this product!”
One beauty fan explained how they use it: “Loving this serum, I layer it with the #6 retinol serum and have had excellent results. I even use it in the morning alone for hydration!”
Another said: “I’ve only been using for about a month, so I haven’t found big results yet. But I plan on continuing to purchase for the peptides and growth factors. I love the feel of the serum and how quickly it absorbs into my skin. It doesn’t break me out which can be an issue with my skin.”
