Excited for this video! I use The Ordinary buffet and was always curious about the copper peptide version. Thanks for always using no filters, and the honest skincare reviews. I always appreciate the honestly! ❤️
The lighting looks great in the video. And wow your makeup looked outstanding! Your glowy skin was beautiful. I'm happy you did this review, as I bought the copper peptides and wasn't sure where to use it, as it said not to use with basically everything I used. Seeing as you need to use things regularly to get results, I was having to give up other products to fit this in, but then I had to keep up with those other products so I couldn't use the peptide regularly. If that makes sense 😕 so I just never noticed any results, and it's 60 something bucks here in NZ, so quite pricey for something I wasn't really able to use properly. I have the regular buffet serum though and I like that . That medicube device is very interesting. I'd be interested in hearing more about it. 😉🌻
ITS $60!? Oh my goodness no, not worth it for that much - that’s a lot of cosrx snail hahaha I double checked my order and I paid $28, so it’s…interesting (frustrating) to see inflation hitting this product too. $31 now in the US 😞
Thank you so much for posting this! And I totally feel you with the undertone thing. Especially when I start to tan (or start to lose my tan in the fall) I go through a phase where I look super yellow. I’ve considered getting Buffet + Copper Peptides, a little for the challenge, but I guess part of me thought that it must have amazing benefits if it requires such a change in routine for many people. After watching this, I don’t think I’m going to try it. I don’t have major issues with any of the things it claims to help with, or I use other products that target the things the copper peptides do. Thank you for doing this for us!
Really insightful review, Alice. I just placed an order from Sephora a couple days ago, and let me tell you, I pondered for a long time about purchasing The Ordinary Buffet with Copper Peptides. I've wanted this product for months, but I always had so many other products to use up before I could feel justified in making the purchase. However, this time around, I was in the mood to just buy things that I've wanted for a long time--one example is the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush--which I purchased for my daughter last year, but had still hadn't purchased for myself. Anyway, after thinking about it for a long time, and reading all the requirements/exceptions/warnings when using this product, I decided that maybe I would pass on this product. And then your video came out and I felt totally supported in my decision!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I will. I saw a dupe video for the Dior blush on State of Kait six months ago. The dupe was Essence Berry Connection--which I bought since it was only $5! But I still longed for that elusive $38 Dior version. It should arrive tomorrow.
I purchased the ordianry copper peptides towards the beginning of this year and unfortunatly did not finish it before the 6month use by indication because of its finnickyness lol! It did work amazingly around my eyes however, and then i didnt have to make a whole special routine! I've been ACHING to try that Anua toner- thank you for the review as well! They just popped up on jolse so I may grab it soon when it inevitably goes on sale!! I also need an excuse to wear a pink wig to celebrate tuesday- let me know if there are any holidays coming up! also i didnt know the science james webb guy was into skincare good for him!
That’s a good solution tbh - I can see it as an eye serum (maybe even neck? I’m finding I can’t use adapalene as much there either). Yeah the anua is awesome! And if the James Webb x The Ordinary collab ever happens…I’m there for it 🤣😂
This was the exact reason I did not buy the buffet copper peptide over the regular buffet my 2nd bottle. I use Differin. I loved hearing all about it copper and even if better, I will stick with the regular buffet long-term. After I use the centella unscented serum (was your or NS beauty hit in videos). Also one day will try that Cosrx snail serum. Thank you!
Yes, copper peptides do seem finicky. I've seen some folks say you can do one or the other (copper peptide or retinol) nightly but I've also seen an article saying you can use copper peptides and retinol but not prescription tretinoin and you have to apply copper pep then retinol. I've also heard that copper peptides can be used with vit c derivatives (or at least some like THD) so it's probably just better to get a peptide moisturizer and call it a day.
Yup, I’ve seen them combined with vitamin c derivatives (perricone cold plasma). I think we need to see more research on them and particularly on their degradation. I’ll just await those studies haha!
I've incorporated copper peptides on an every four day basis, as I use Tretinoin every other day and on the off day alternate between acids or peptides. Hard to say what does what with all the products I use though :) But it's less complicated planning and quite consistent.
Yeah that’s kind of what my routine has been: I really have 5 alternating routines right now (still need to post the BPO routine). I feel it sounds complicated, although it has worked for the time being!
I am very interested in the heart leaf toner review (it might currently be in my Stylevana cart😊) as well as the mugwort. I love toners and essences and I am always trying products to reduce facial redness caused mostly by rosacea and very pale and sensitive skin.
It has been such a journey researching these extracts!! They are such massively more dense topics than they seem on the surface. Super interesting though, and yes - heartleaf is a wonderful ingredient indeed!
I found that the Revolution Skincare copper peptides works way better than the Ordinary's. Not a company known for quality but that product is excellent.
I agree that copper peptides are too much of a hassle to add to my skincare routine. I use my retinol every night to help with my forehead lines and acne, so adding copper peptides to my routine is kind of a mess for me.
Hii! Did you had any makeup at the beginning? if you did what did you used or where can i find you morning makeup routine? beautiful glow Thank youuu^^
Yes! It’s the Merit complexion stick, their newest highlighting balm, and the blush is from Bloomeffects (it was in the Credo Spring Makeup kit). It’s all such fast and easy makeup, but whoa is it great for radiant skin!
Alice, I have tried so many different lip masks but nothing seems to really work. The most recent one I tried was Ilia's Lip Wrap, which was 😕. Do you have any recommendations for really good lip masks???? Love your channel girl
Is your main concern lip lines, softening, hydration, or moisture? I’d say different products for each of these Lip lines - grandepout. That is REALLY a good lip plumper, peptide based so no sting. It won’t make lips look larger, but it seems to poof out lip lines (yes that’s the scientific phrasing 😂) Softening - one of my favs here is Kopari’s lip balm. It’s incredibly emollient and makes lips feel so healthy! Moisture - this is mostly for environmentally-caused issues (think “winter lips”). Lanolin based formulas are top notch for this. I also feel this new Alpyn lip balm fits in here: it kind of softens and moisturizes? Hydration - associated with internal dehydration/dryness. The I’m From Honey lip balm was great for this, and I recently returned to Nuxe’s classic lip balm You might even benefit from a combo, which is often what I do. I like layering a more occlusive lip balm on top of that grandepout. Sounds like a lot, but whoa does that deliver for me!
I actually do love copper peptides but I am spoiled on the Niod ond after using it. And they are tricky to use considering how finicky they are as an ingredient so I actually used to Microneedle my skin every 6 weeks and the combination of that with the copper peptides did make a difference in the firmness of my skin. That was the main benefit I noticed. Not gonna lie, my skin looked amazing during that period but it's been awhile since I did that whole routine.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I did research for several months about Microneedle treatments and what type of products to use and avoid and there is actually quite a bit of research on this. Penny Smith is an aesthetician here on UA-cam who talks a lot about this as well. For about 2 years I was doing treatments every 6 weeks using a 0.5 depth and I would follow up with Gin Amber's vitamin c serum or a copper peptide serum and the results from that were amazing. After 4 treatments my skin was So smooth and refined, the little 11 lines from stress were completely gone and after one year my eyebrow hairs (I overplucked for years) actually began to grow back! My skin definitely looked more lifted and youthful so I can't wait to get back to doing it. They use copper peptides in combination with micro needling at medical spas and dermatologists offices so it's something to look into if you're interested.
On the topic of copper PEPTIDES I use currently the Dr Loren Pickarts Super CP Serum. Finicky product in general as it pills if you use too much and doesn't always play well with other products... Which is annoying, but I find it really helps when I'm experiencing breakouts or my skin barrier is compromised.
Did I miss why a person can’t combine copper peptides with these other products? Ppl don’t talk abt them much, I think I’ve only heard penny smith mention them previously; thus, I don’t think I know what happens when they’re mixed with these other ingredients (or it just hasn’t stuck in my brain) or what effect that interaction can have on the skin… but I assume it causes irritation? How far apart does it have to be spread out to avoid an interaction? Quite interesting bc we dont really see many ingredients derived from metals-but I also assume the finicky characteristics could be the reason why. I remember previously being interested in some products containing copper peptides though. I think it was actually around this time last yr when the ordinary/Niod was having its sale. There’s a popular Niod product with Copper peptides in it if I remember correctly- maybe a face mist? I like facial mists, especially as a refresher/pick me up arnd mid-day, but I also don’t wear makeup every day; so I wonder if that would be a good option for applying this active? Just wondering why it has to be spaced out and for how long? Obvs I’ll Google it- it’s just not always so easy to find a reputable or unbiased resource that can answer the cause and effect type questions or that gives insightful/accurate recommendations for application… hence, UA-cam and you! Haha, Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! The NIOD seems to have good reviews. I did wonder if it’s just the ordinary version I’m not loving as much (I liked perricone’s cold plasma, hence why I’m puzzled!)
1) Could the wall covering (green mushroom algae pond? That’s just what it looks like from here 🤓) in this background be impacting your camera? Maybe it’s the tipping point. Green person + green leaves = ok. Add green mushrooms => error 🤖 must correct 🤷🏻♀️ 2) yeah…yes, pretty much in agreement. I’m using the DRMTLGY copper peptide serum but so inconsistently because I tend to focus on the retinol/acid routines. So I dunno how I feel about it. And it’s not cheap so I kinda feel like I’d have to forgo those other routines for a while to know for sure. But I need my BHA! 3) re: wearing less makeup, I recently got a Kosas liquid eyeshadow in a Sephora clean beauty set and it’s so nice! Gives me a nice subtle but pretty shimmer and it’s truly one and done because it doesn’t need primer, doesn’t crease in my very hooded lids, and I can quickly apply it with my fingers without a lot of fuss. My expensive PMG palettes are not amused. 4) Just signed up for the sunscreen seminar day promoted on Dr. Michelle Wong’s channel (I know you know who she is, but for anyone else reading: LabMuffin). I’m not getting up at 5am for it 🤓 but I’ll watch the early sessions later.
I think it could be, hence why I chose to wear pink - it was a very intentional move on my behalf!! 🤣😆 If my camera wants to play games, I’ll play them right back (although I don’t own enough red to be completely in charge - yet.) I love those Kosas eyeshadows!! Those were a huge part in what flipped a switch for me. Those and - hilariously - some now discontinued Butter London liquid matte eyeshadows. So easy but yet so pretty!? Ah thanks for mentioning that - I need to sign up too. It’s so rad that she is doing that!!
I have a breakout and I just cleansed with Aveeno and put on e.l.f happy hydration creme with Niacinimide 5% , vit E , then cosrx snail mucin and Altruist SPF50+ with Niacinimide and vit E .c
After hearing/reading all the back and forth and much fretting...I decided to sometimes use Buffet + Copper Peptides with Tretinoin lol. I figured if Gothamista sometimes uses copper peptides with tret than why not (i know i know not the best approach I was probably just looking for ways to justify it). I think I've gotten good results (and my skin seems to look worse when B + CP is out of my routine) if my skin is feeling particularly sensitive I won't use them together. I don't use it with my L-AA or exfoliating acids (unless I washed the latter off). I am super interested in that gadget but currently saving up for a LED mask is my top skin gadget priority. So many shiny expensive things.
I will say: I wouldn’t be too surprised if in time, that combo turns out to be fine. Tbh I struggle with the logic as to WHY it’s a bad idea. But y’know: caution and all haha!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole from what I've read (sadly my access to scientific literature is limited), the potential for increased sensitivity is the most compelling problem and is a very good reason for caution. I did wait a long time before combining the two and waited a long time between. As summer has hit DC I've found the sensitivity to be more of an issue so I've basically stopped using them in the same routine. I think I do want to try a different Copper Peptide product because the Ordinary does not seem to have confidence in the stability of their peptide serums in general. Alas Copper peptide serums are just so expensive (though I guess if I only use it every other night...)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole you are always so thorough and all your hard work is much appreciated!! I love ingredients and understanding them. I always appreciate you professional understanding of them!;
I just finished 2 bottles of TO copper peptide, but not quite sure if it did anything beneficial to my skin. So I will go back to the regular TO buffet serum, which I found at least more moisturizing than the copper one, and with less hassle to pair with other products such as retinol at night.
Oh that’s super interesting that you found buffet more moisturizing! Yeah, Buffet is well done - I don’t see a reason to recommend the copper peptide version over the regular!
I did one round of NIOD Copper Peptide and did not see anything promising enough to keep using it. I do use the 10% Argeraline and am busting out DE Protini as soon as my current daytime moisturizer runs out, so I’m stacked on peptides.
On Miras channel and FB page we've done alot of deep dives into Pickard and copper peptides. I'm on my 2nd bottle of NCN 2nd generation and use when it's a off tret night and after needling. What are your thoughts on NIOD SOD?
I haven’t tried it! Im writing off the Ordinary’s version, but I still might consider a different formula - perhaps the NIOD. I did use Perricone’s cold plasma in the past, and I felt I saw a lot more from that (plus it’s a copper peptide/c derivative combo - which is helpful for me!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole which cold plasma plus did you use? the serum or the moisturiser? I am tempted to try it but it's so expensive... although the formulas look so good...
I have a question regarding Copper Peptides Serum and EGF Serum. I have read where Copper Peptides should not be used with Retinal, AHA and Vitamin C, but EGF Serum can be used with Retinal. My question is can Copper Peptides Serum and EGF Serum can be used together and layered on your skin. If so, which product would I apply first. (For reference, I have the NIOD - Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) and the Bradceuticals Gold Mesenchymal Stem Cell Serum. Thank you!
Hmm I don’t know the answer tbh as I don’t use EGF. I think your best bet is to write either/both companies and ask! The catch with copper peptides is that you don’t want them to degrade into free copper, as that has the opposite of a positive reaction on our skin. Sorry I can’t help more!
Please do a dedicated video on the Air Shot. I’m on their website and can’t figure out what type of energy is used. Is this gimmick or something truly new?! I’d love to know how this differs from LED and microcurrent.
It’s very different from LED/electrotherapy! The catch with devices is that it’s a completely different discipline within the sciences from skincare (which is more biochem/chem in general). I think this makes for a very interesting approach, but also one that is very difficult for one person to have thorough knowledge on. I’m once again communicating with my friends in physics and engineering to understand this one!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole we appreciate you doing the research and deep dives. And if you just can’t confidently say you understand the modality, that’s fine too. No pressure
I have been using the biossance copper peptide serum. I like it but I am not sure yet what I think about results. I squished it into my routine in the mornings by using my vitamin C every other day. Although my current vitamin Cs are both derivatives so it might be okay? I use Matrixyl and Argireline at night. When I was using those last summer I noticed great results, and then started trying a bunch of other peptide serums and not having a lot of luck, honestly. So I went back. My skin is being weird and I think it's that we are moving definitively into warm weather. My face is like "wait we just got over fall! What is this? SWEAT??? EWWW. Here are some pimples."
We have such a similar skin type I swear. Yeah I’ve had more pimples than usual again (come on adapalene - pleaaase do your thing!!) Yes to derivatives! That’s the approach Cold Plasma uses. I am thinking of trying that again after I finish this one. And yeah, I really think the Matrixyl+Argireline combo is very, very good stuff.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I have that Cold Plasma set that was on sale before? Maybe it was in the 21 days? I am going to finish a couple of things up and then BREAK IT OUT. I also have some Peach & Lily to try and I was debating which should come first, but I have been hearing so many good things about the Cold Plasma that I think that's next. Also, I *still* never need to buy new stuff again. I bet I don't need to buy anything before next holidays.
I’m being overly paranoid but can you please let me know if you think it’s ok to use the HaruHaru black rice toner before copper peptides? And should I be worried about ingredients in my face wash or does it not matter cuz it gets rinsed anyways? Thank you!!
With copper peptides, I’d make sure you’re avoiding strong acids. Haruharu wonder is a gentle toner, and in general face wash is not strongly acidic (it tends to lean alkaline unless otherwise specified). Hope that helps!
Medicine intrigues me so much I will make an order one of these days. I wish I got some of these PR products u get it would be amazing I wish I got Dermtlgy PR the needless serum omg I would be the happiest person in the world their peptide night cream and then they have new product releases too. Medicube and some of the other ones u get. 🤤 Omg I use to love the avacodo melt eye cream and the algenist eye balm that I just broke not to long ago that hurt I cried. Then found it at Marshalls for 16.99 and my dumb but didn't pik it up now I'm liking my self. I haven't tried the ordinary CP but I have liked them and the effects in the past but I know the needless serum has CP in it and I love that serum and it's not so picky I can ware with other things. I really need to buy another Needle less serum. I love peptides in general I use the dear klairs oil drop and a few drops of the ordinary argeruline serum in the AM and the RNW ceramide that has peptides and other stuff at night I use the needless serum but I have been out of it 😭I think all of them have some Copper peptides I like the dear Klairs midnight serum too after my first essence. My dumb ass has been buying bujuee makeup for the past Few weeks instead of akincarem did u know Sephora did away with the mini laneige cream skin I went to buy it cause that side lasted me forever and it's not on their site anymore.
Ooh what makeup did you buy? So I got this Clean makeup kit from Credo right - what the heck is up with Westman Atelier, could they POSSIBLY be more bougie lol! The lip balm is wrapped in velvet!? I was like…no this is too much, I’m not this level of fancy 🤣🤣 Yeah DRMTLGY and Medicube are both really, really awesome brands!
Can I use matrixyl and argireline serums together on alternative nights between retinaldehyde and copper peptides?? Can I use matrixyl and argireline with copper peptides, or other peptides in general?
Yes to mixing all the peptides (although TO’s buffet also contains many, see my the ordinary peptides video). No to mixing retinaldehyde and copper peptide - only copper peptide - within the same routine
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleI appreciate you so much for responding!! just to confirm, I CAN mix matrixyl, argireline, and copper peptides within the same routine, not just matrixyl and argireline? Or should I seperate matrixyl and argireline with copper peptides? Also, if my previous statement IS correct, can I mix the RNW ceramide serum with matrixyl and argireline, AND copper peptides? Sorry if this is redundant, I'm trying to grasp peptides, but am struggling to find much information online.
I’m using The Ordinary buffer+copper peptides and noticed an improvement in my skin tone, but it made my hooded eye worse and more saggy. Starting to panic. Do you think it’s an allergy or something?
Oh man I hate to tell you this but you need to know: Google “copper peptide uglies” and you’ll find people that had similar experiences. It’s not something we can explain yet - after all, most research on CP shows it helps with fine lines/smoothing! But the reverse is common enough to have a term for it. I figure it’s kind of like how drug commercials show these people prancing around but the end of the commercial will have all the side effects. Sadly, it seems some do experience this 😞
I've been using this cooper peptide also. I'm not interested in these rules. Too many I used this morning before I laid down with curtains pulled. The Faded Serum with Tranexamic Acid with kojic Acid too. Oh with low grade Curology. . 01 retinay with the cooper peptides. I just don't care anymore. Like I got two bottles of it . So no worries it's all good . May be a hair more drier for it but the zit I had is gone.
Thanks for sharing! I do suspect in time we will better understand what CP can/can’t be combined with (and retinoids is one I suspect will end up being okay - unsure on L-AA/AHA though)
Hey, wandering why you think copper peptides shouldn't be used along a retinoid? Its compatible in terms of ph. I personally didn't encounter any evidence of a problem with that.
Yes so the concern is partially pH, but it may extend beyond that. While it’s not a big deal in terms of most ingredients, GHK-Cu contains copper - which in its free form is considered damaging to the skin. Hence we REALLY do not want to break apart that bond (and in fact, this could - potentially - be the basis of “the copper peptide uglies”) So I’m far more cautious with copper peptide than I would be, say, the matrixyl peptides. It’s potentially the difference between “oops made my skincare products useless” vs “oops made my skincare products dangerous”. HOWEVER-I think we simply do not know with retinoid ingredients. I’m seeing some people report success with that combo here, and it doesn’t necessarily surprise me. It all boils down to that darn lack of information - such a problem, especially considering that companies have no hesitation in selling copper peptide products!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole totally... From my humble experience of using the ordinary copper peptides with differin, i had no adverse reaction. Having said that, i also didn't repurchase.. i wasn't impressed enough i guess.
Can anyone tell me how TO copper buffet peptides compare to the Niod CAIS? I am currently using niod CAIS and i love that it has a watery texture that absorbs instantly, so I can layer my skincare products easily over it. How does TO texture feel compared to Niod? I wish I could continue using Niod but the price is putting me off.
Have u seen the primera essence toner it's has H Cordata and artmesishia it looks really nice great reviews and is on sale for like 18$ for the primera sale on Amazon. Also the freaking bio condition essence is only 23$ cheaper then we paid last sale they had . So I ordered that one and canceled my 30 $ sub on it. Donginbe or however u spell it is back and onsale on Amazon. I really want the airshot but hesitate on spending the money even though it's cheaper right now did u nee that new or solar wave Casandra Bankson raves about it has a major sale buy one get one free and they have a new blue light one but I think the red is better prob but they have a new product for ance the light and it's bigger then that nuface light it had good reviews if u buy one u get one free Which I have never seen that deal on Amazon cause it's not a cheap product
I alternate BHA and vitamin C (preferably L-AA) every morning - have done this for, oh gosh, years at this point. I love it! But that means copper peptides don’t fit in here 😞
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I just bought the serum and I'm swapping it with my vitamin c in the morning. Another UA-camr said she did and noticed a major difference. I honestly haven't gotten much out of vitamin c over the years so I'm hoping that copper will wow me lol. 🤞🏼
Update : came in front my lunch and noticed that I infact had a new pimple on my jawline. So idk I'm not repurchasing either too funny of a product to use . Maybe I'll use it in my hair or undereyes
There’s another comment here of someone who used it on their undereyes. I’m actually thinking I might try the same for my last few uses of this bottle! Seems like excellent problem solving 🤔
@@lizbarrand7701 I don't mind the caution it requires in terms of layering, since it's considered to be so powerful, but I have to admit it is really difficult to find a copper peptide serum at a decent % and price point that really delivers. Companies do focus on so many useless ingredients that become popular for marketing reasons and really lose sight of those that have scientific evidence of working.

Maybe I’m turning into a crotchety old lady sooner than I expected, but I have no patience for such finicky ingredients. (Sign of warning around its neck: Absolutely Does Not Play Well With Others. Give Up. Move Along. NOW.) Plus, there are waaaaayyyyy better ingredients out there (WITH scientific-backed research to back them up) that are more effective in my not-important opinion. Yes, one of my BFFs, H Cordy! (We’re on a first name basis and have entered nickname status.) How dare your camera do that to you?!?! Are you sure you’re friends? 😁
I’m glad you mentioned the vitamin c and copper thing about not mixing them. I have been doing that for a few days since purchasing this product.
I have been using the ordinary copper peptides for a very long time Year's now! And I prefer it over Vitamin C any day! Wonderful results!
Did you experience sagging from using copper peptide
Excited for this video! I use The Ordinary buffet and was always curious about the copper peptide version.

Really insightful review, Alice. I just placed an order from Sephora a couple days ago, and let me tell you, I pondered for a long time about purchasing The Ordinary Buffet with Copper Peptides. I've wanted this product for months, but I always had so many other products to use up before I could feel justified in making the purchase. However, this time around, I was in the mood to just buy things that I've wanted for a long time--one example is the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush--which I purchased for my daughter last year, but had still hadn't purchased for myself. Anyway, after thinking about it for a long time, and reading all the requirements/exceptions/warnings when using this product, I decided that maybe I would pass on this product.

This was the exact reason I did not buy the buffet copper peptide over the regular buffet my 2nd bottle. I use Differin. I loved hearing all about it copper and even if better, I will stick with the regular buffet long-term. After I use the centella unscented serum (was your or NS beauty hit in videos). Also one day will try that Cosrx snail serum. Thank you!
Yes, copper peptides do seem finicky. I've seen some folks say you can do one or the other (copper peptide or retinol) nightly but I've also seen an article saying you can use copper peptides and retinol but not prescription tretinoin and you have to apply copper pep then retinol. I've also heard that copper peptides can be used with vit c derivatives (or at least some like THD) so it's probably just better to get a peptide moisturizer and call it a day.
Yup, I’ve seen them combined with vitamin c derivatives (perricone cold plasma). I think we need to see more research on them and particularly on their degradation. I’ll just await those studies haha!
I've incorporated copper peptides on an every four day basis, as I use Tretinoin every other day and on the off day alternate between acids or peptides. Hard to say what does what with all the products I use though :) But it's less complicated planning and quite consistent.
Yeah that’s kind of what my routine has been: I really have 5 alternating routines right now (still need to post the BPO routine). I feel it sounds complicated, although it has worked for the time being!
I am very interested in the heart leaf toner review (it might currently be in my Stylevana cart😊) as well as the mugwort. I love toners and essences and I am always trying products to reduce facial redness caused mostly by rosacea and very pale and sensitive skin.
It has been such a journey researching these extracts!! They are such massively more dense topics than they seem on the surface. Super interesting though, and yes - heartleaf is a wonderful ingredient indeed!
I need more information on that device. It looks amazing
I found that the Revolution Skincare copper peptides works way better than the Ordinary's. Not a company known for quality but that product is excellent.
Whoa interesting! I liked some of their products, but disliked that they did the good ol’ “discontinue a product people liked” thing. Ugh, the worst
I agree that copper peptides are too much of a hassle to add to my skincare routine. I use my retinol every night to help with my forehead lines and acne, so adding copper peptides to my routine is kind of a mess for me.
Yep, it makes for a skincare routine that requires diagrams and charts to explain LOL. Just too much in my opinion!
You look adorable. The light is great. Have a great weekend ❌ ⭕
Thank you! Hope you’re feeling better 💕
Hii! Did you had any makeup at the beginning? if you did what did you used or where can i find you morning makeup routine? beautiful glow Thank youuu^^
Yes! It’s the Merit complexion stick, their newest highlighting balm, and the blush is from Bloomeffects (it was in the Credo Spring Makeup kit). It’s all such fast and easy makeup, but whoa is it great for radiant skin!
Alice, I have tried so many different lip masks but nothing seems to really work. The most recent one I tried was Ilia's Lip Wrap, which was 😕. Do you have any recommendations for really good lip masks???? Love your channel girl
Is your main concern lip lines, softening, hydration, or moisture? I’d say different products for each of these
Lip lines - grandepout. That is REALLY a good lip plumper, peptide based so no sting. It won’t make lips look larger, but it seems to poof out lip lines (yes that’s the scientific phrasing 😂)
Softening - one of my favs here is Kopari’s lip balm. It’s incredibly emollient and makes lips feel so healthy!
Moisture - this is mostly for environmentally-caused issues (think “winter lips”). Lanolin based formulas are top notch for this. I also feel this new Alpyn lip balm fits in here: it kind of softens and moisturizes?
Hydration - associated with internal dehydration/dryness. The I’m From Honey lip balm was great for this, and I recently returned to Nuxe’s classic lip balm
You might even benefit from a combo, which is often what I do. I like layering a more occlusive lip balm on top of that grandepout. Sounds like a lot, but whoa does that deliver for me!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thanks so much for all of the suggestions! I now have some investigating of my own to do. Have a great evening!
I actually do love copper peptides but I am spoiled on the Niod ond after using it. And they are tricky to use considering how finicky they are as an ingredient so I actually used to Microneedle my skin every 6 weeks and the combination of that with the copper peptides did make a difference in the firmness of my skin. That was the main benefit I noticed. Not gonna lie, my skin looked amazing during that period but it's been awhile since I did that whole routine.
See I think you’re onto something there!! I feel the microneedle/peptides combo is superior, and that most likely applies to CP as well?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I did research for several months about Microneedle treatments and what type of products to use and avoid and there is actually quite a bit of research on this. Penny Smith is an aesthetician here on UA-cam who talks a lot about this as well. For about 2 years I was doing treatments every 6 weeks using a 0.5 depth and I would follow up with Gin Amber's vitamin c serum or a copper peptide serum and the results from that were amazing. After 4 treatments my skin was So smooth and refined, the little 11 lines from stress were completely gone and after one year my eyebrow hairs (I overplucked for years) actually began to grow back! My skin definitely looked more lifted and youthful so I can't wait to get back to doing it. They use copper peptides in combination with micro needling at medical spas and dermatologists offices so it's something to look into if you're interested.
I love that scoop 💗❌⭕
On the topic of copper PEPTIDES I use currently the Dr Loren Pickarts Super CP Serum. Finicky product in general as it pills if you use too much and doesn't always play well with other products... Which is annoying, but I find it really helps when I'm experiencing breakouts or my skin barrier is compromised.
I’ve seen some loyalists for that product! Effectiveness is a huge thing - I’ll put up with a meh texture if the product is effective
Did you not use the medicube after the copper peptide?
Did I miss why a person can’t combine copper peptides with these other products? Ppl don’t talk abt them much, I think I’ve only heard penny smith mention them previously; thus, I don’t think I know what happens when they’re mixed with these other ingredients (or it just hasn’t stuck in my brain) or what effect that interaction can have on the skin… but I assume it causes irritation? How far apart does it have to be spread out to avoid an interaction?
Quite interesting bc we dont really see many ingredients derived from metals-but I also assume the finicky characteristics could be the reason why.
I remember previously being interested in some products containing copper peptides though. I think it was actually around this time last yr when the ordinary/Niod was having its sale. There’s a popular Niod product with Copper peptides in it if I remember correctly- maybe a face mist? I like facial mists, especially as a refresher/pick me up arnd mid-day, but I also don’t wear makeup every day; so I wonder if that would be a good option for applying this active?
Just wondering why it has to be spaced out and for how long?
Obvs I’ll Google it- it’s just not always so easy to find a reputable or unbiased resource that can answer the cause and effect type questions or that gives insightful/accurate recommendations for application… hence, UA-cam and you! Haha, Thanks!
I use retin a three times a week and on the opposite nights I use niod copper peptides I love it
Thanks for sharing! The NIOD seems to have good reviews. I did wonder if it’s just the ordinary version I’m not loving as much (I liked perricone’s cold plasma, hence why I’m puzzled!)
1) Could the wall covering (green mushroom algae pond? That’s just what it looks like from here 🤓) in this background be impacting your camera? Maybe it’s the tipping point. Green person + green leaves = ok. Add green mushrooms => error 🤖 must correct 🤷🏻♀️
2) yeah…yes, pretty much in agreement. I’m using the DRMTLGY copper peptide serum but so inconsistently because I tend to focus on the retinol/acid routines. So I dunno how I feel about it. And it’s not cheap so I kinda feel like I’d have to forgo those other routines for a while to know for sure. But I need my BHA!
3) re: wearing less makeup, I recently got a Kosas liquid eyeshadow in a Sephora clean beauty set and it’s so nice! Gives me a nice subtle but pretty shimmer and it’s truly one and done because it doesn’t need primer, doesn’t crease in my very hooded lids, and I can quickly apply it with my fingers without a lot of fuss. My expensive PMG palettes are not amused.
4) Just signed up for the sunscreen seminar day promoted on Dr. Michelle Wong’s channel (I know you know who she is, but for anyone else reading: LabMuffin). I’m not getting up at 5am for it 🤓 but I’ll watch the early sessions later.
I think it could be, hence why I chose to wear pink - it was a very intentional move on my behalf!! 🤣😆 If my camera wants to play games, I’ll play them right back (although I don’t own enough red to be completely in charge - yet.)
I love those Kosas eyeshadows!! Those were a huge part in what flipped a switch for me. Those and - hilariously - some now discontinued Butter London liquid matte eyeshadows. So easy but yet so pretty!?
Ah thanks for mentioning that - I need to sign up too. It’s so rad that she is doing that!!
I have a breakout and I just cleansed with Aveeno and put on e.l.f happy hydration creme with Niacinimide 5% , vit E , then cosrx snail mucin and Altruist SPF50+ with Niacinimide and vit E .c
That’s a fantastic routine 😍
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thanks x
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Breakout Routine has served me well . ❤🌈🇬🇧
After hearing/reading all the back and forth and much fretting...I decided to sometimes use Buffet + Copper Peptides with Tretinoin lol. I figured if Gothamista sometimes uses copper peptides with tret than why not (i know i know not the best approach I was probably just looking for ways to justify it). I think I've gotten good results (and my skin seems to look worse when B + CP is out of my routine) if my skin is feeling particularly sensitive I won't use them together. I don't use it with my L-AA or exfoliating acids (unless I washed the latter off).
I am super interested in that gadget but currently saving up for a LED mask is my top skin gadget priority. So many shiny expensive things.
Also I'm very excited for your Mugwort, Lotus, and Heartleaf video!
I will say: I wouldn’t be too surprised if in time, that combo turns out to be fine. Tbh I struggle with the logic as to WHY it’s a bad idea. But y’know: caution and all haha!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole from what I've read (sadly my access to scientific literature is limited), the potential for increased sensitivity is the most compelling problem and is a very good reason for caution. I did wait a long time before combining the two and waited a long time between. As summer has hit DC I've found the sensitivity to be more of an issue so I've basically stopped using them in the same routine. I think I do want to try a different Copper Peptide product because the Ordinary does not seem to have confidence in the stability of their peptide serums in general. Alas Copper peptide serums are just so expensive (though I guess if I only use it every other night...)
Ohhh so curious about heartleaf!!!
I’ve got great things to say! Although phew that video is a ton of editing LOL
@@AliceintheRabbitHole you are always so thorough and all your hard work is much appreciated!! I love ingredients and understanding them. I always appreciate you professional understanding of them!;
I just finished 2 bottles of TO copper peptide, but not quite sure if it did anything beneficial to my skin. So I will go back to the regular TO buffet serum, which I found at least more moisturizing than the copper one, and with less hassle to pair with other products such as retinol at night.
Oh that’s super interesting that you found buffet more moisturizing! Yeah, Buffet is well done - I don’t see a reason to recommend the copper peptide version over the regular!
I did one round of NIOD Copper Peptide and did not see anything promising enough to keep using it. I do use the 10% Argeraline and am busting out DE Protini as soon as my current daytime moisturizer runs out, so I’m stacked on peptides.
Yeah I think argireline is worth it! That one is easy to use and incorporate into a routine. The protini is nice too!
On Miras channel and FB page we've done alot of deep dives into Pickard and copper peptides. I'm on my 2nd bottle of NCN 2nd generation and use when it's a off tret night and after needling.
What are your thoughts on NIOD SOD?
I haven’t tried it! Im writing off the Ordinary’s version, but I still might consider a different formula - perhaps the NIOD. I did use Perricone’s cold plasma in the past, and I felt I saw a lot more from that (plus it’s a copper peptide/c derivative combo - which is helpful for me!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole which cold plasma plus did you use? the serum or the moisturiser? I am tempted to try it but it's so expensive... although the formulas look so good...
I have a question regarding Copper Peptides Serum and EGF Serum. I have read where Copper Peptides should not be used with Retinal, AHA and Vitamin C, but EGF Serum can be used with Retinal.
My question is can Copper Peptides Serum and EGF Serum can be used together and layered on your skin. If so, which product would I apply first. (For reference, I have the NIOD - Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) and the Bradceuticals Gold Mesenchymal Stem Cell Serum.
Thank you!
Hmm I don’t know the answer tbh as I don’t use EGF. I think your best bet is to write either/both companies and ask! The catch with copper peptides is that you don’t want them to degrade into free copper, as that has the opposite of a positive reaction on our skin. Sorry I can’t help more!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you for the information. I appreciate you getting back to me!!
Please do a dedicated video on the Air Shot. I’m on their website and can’t figure out what type of energy is used. Is this gimmick or something truly new?! I’d love to know how this differs from LED and microcurrent.
It’s very different from LED/electrotherapy! The catch with devices is that it’s a completely different discipline within the sciences from skincare (which is more biochem/chem in general). I think this makes for a very interesting approach, but also one that is very difficult for one person to have thorough knowledge on. I’m once again communicating with my friends in physics and engineering to understand this one!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole we appreciate you doing the research and deep dives. And if you just can’t confidently say you understand the modality, that’s fine too. No pressure
I have been using the biossance copper peptide serum. I like it but I am not sure yet what I think about results. I squished it into my routine in the mornings by using my vitamin C every other day. Although my current vitamin Cs are both derivatives so it might be okay?
I use Matrixyl and Argireline at night. When I was using those last summer I noticed great results, and then started trying a bunch of other peptide serums and not having a lot of luck, honestly. So I went back.
My skin is being weird and I think it's that we are moving definitively into warm weather. My face is like "wait we just got over fall! What is this? SWEAT??? EWWW. Here are some pimples."
We have such a similar skin type I swear. Yeah I’ve had more pimples than usual again (come on adapalene - pleaaase do your thing!!)
Yes to derivatives! That’s the approach Cold Plasma uses. I am thinking of trying that again after I finish this one. And yeah, I really think the Matrixyl+Argireline combo is very, very good stuff.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I have that Cold Plasma set that was on sale before? Maybe it was in the 21 days? I am going to finish a couple of things up and then BREAK IT OUT. I also have some Peach & Lily to try and I was debating which should come first, but I have been hearing so many good things about the Cold Plasma that I think that's next. Also, I *still* never need to buy new stuff again. I bet I don't need to buy anything before next holidays.
I’m being overly paranoid but can you please let me know if you think it’s ok to use the HaruHaru black rice toner before copper peptides? And should I be worried about ingredients in my face wash or does it not matter cuz it gets rinsed anyways? Thank you!!
With copper peptides, I’d make sure you’re avoiding strong acids. Haruharu wonder is a gentle toner, and in general face wash is not strongly acidic (it tends to lean alkaline unless otherwise specified). Hope that helps!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole THANK YOU!!
Is there a k beauty copper peptide you really like?
Medicine intrigues me so much I will make an order one of these days. I wish I got some of these PR products u get it would be amazing I wish I got Dermtlgy PR the needless serum omg I would be the happiest person in the world their peptide night cream and then they have new product releases too. Medicube and some of the other ones u get. 🤤 Omg I use to love the avacodo melt eye cream and the algenist eye balm that I just broke not to long ago that hurt I cried. Then found it at Marshalls for 16.99 and my dumb but didn't pik it up now I'm liking my self.
I haven't tried the ordinary CP but I have liked them and the effects in the past but I know the needless serum has CP in it and I love that serum and it's not so picky I can ware with other things. I really need to buy another Needle less serum. I love peptides in general I use the dear klairs oil drop and a few drops of the ordinary argeruline serum in the AM and the RNW ceramide that has peptides and other stuff at night I use the needless serum but I have been out of it 😭I think all of them have some Copper peptides I like the dear Klairs midnight serum too after my first essence. My dumb ass has been buying bujuee makeup for the past Few weeks instead of akincarem did u know Sephora did away with the mini laneige cream skin I went to buy it cause that side lasted me forever and it's not on their site anymore.
Ooh what makeup did you buy? So I got this Clean makeup kit from Credo right - what the heck is up with Westman Atelier, could they POSSIBLY be more bougie lol! The lip balm is wrapped in velvet!? I was like…no this is too much, I’m not this level of fancy 🤣🤣
Yeah DRMTLGY and Medicube are both really, really awesome brands!
Can I use matrixyl and argireline serums together on alternative nights between retinaldehyde and copper peptides?? Can I use matrixyl and argireline with copper peptides, or other peptides in general?
Yes to mixing all the peptides (although TO’s buffet also contains many, see my the ordinary peptides video). No to mixing retinaldehyde and copper peptide - only copper peptide - within the same routine
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleI appreciate you so much for responding!! just to confirm, I CAN mix matrixyl, argireline, and copper peptides within the same routine, not just matrixyl and argireline? Or should I seperate matrixyl and argireline with copper peptides? Also, if my previous statement IS correct, can I mix the RNW ceramide serum with matrixyl and argireline, AND copper peptides? Sorry if this is redundant, I'm trying to grasp peptides, but am struggling to find much information online.
I’m using The Ordinary buffer+copper peptides and noticed an improvement in my skin tone, but it made my hooded eye worse and more saggy. Starting to panic. Do you think it’s an allergy or something?
Oh man I hate to tell you this but you need to know:
Google “copper peptide uglies” and you’ll find people that had similar experiences.
It’s not something we can explain yet - after all, most research on CP shows it helps with fine lines/smoothing! But the reverse is common enough to have a term for it. I figure it’s kind of like how drug commercials show these people prancing around but the end of the commercial will have all the side effects. Sadly, it seems some do experience this 😞
I've been using this cooper peptide also. I'm not interested in these rules. Too many I used this morning before I laid down with curtains pulled. The Faded Serum with Tranexamic Acid with kojic Acid too. Oh with low grade Curology. . 01 retinay with the cooper peptides. I just don't care anymore. Like I got two bottles of it . So no worries it's all good . May be a hair more drier for it but the zit I had is gone.
Thanks for sharing! I do suspect in time we will better understand what CP can/can’t be combined with (and retinoids is one I suspect will end up being okay - unsure on L-AA/AHA though)
Try NIODS CAIS cooper peptide!
Any thoughts on the new theraface massager?
The company that does the body thumping stuff (elegant phrasing lol) came out with a face device!? 😱😱 ..I’ll have to look into this
Hey, wandering why you think copper peptides shouldn't be used along a retinoid? Its compatible in terms of ph. I personally didn't encounter any evidence of a problem with that.
Yes so the concern is partially pH, but it may extend beyond that. While it’s not a big deal in terms of most ingredients, GHK-Cu contains copper - which in its free form is considered damaging to the skin. Hence we REALLY do not want to break apart that bond (and in fact, this could - potentially - be the basis of “the copper peptide uglies”)
So I’m far more cautious with copper peptide than I would be, say, the matrixyl peptides. It’s potentially the difference between “oops made my skincare products useless” vs “oops made my skincare products dangerous”.
HOWEVER-I think we simply do not know with retinoid ingredients. I’m seeing some people report success with that combo here, and it doesn’t necessarily surprise me. It all boils down to that darn lack of information - such a problem, especially considering that companies have no hesitation in selling copper peptide products!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole totally... From my humble experience of using the ordinary copper peptides with differin, i had no adverse reaction. Having said that, i also didn't repurchase.. i wasn't impressed enough i guess.
I have been trying CBD products on my skin for about 6 months and it really helps with tiny bumps and redness! ❌⭕
Ooh which product? I love CBD!
Can anyone tell me how TO copper buffet peptides compare to the Niod CAIS? I am currently using niod CAIS and i love that it has a watery texture that absorbs instantly, so I can layer my skincare products easily over it. How does TO texture feel compared to Niod? I wish I could continue using Niod but the price is putting me off.
Based on other comments, I’m gathering that people prefer CAIS to the TO product!
Have u seen the primera essence toner it's has H Cordata and artmesishia it looks really nice great reviews and is on sale for like 18$ for the primera sale on Amazon. Also the freaking bio condition essence is only 23$ cheaper then we paid last sale they had . So I ordered that one and canceled my 30 $ sub on it. Donginbe or however u spell it is back and onsale on Amazon. I really want the airshot but hesitate on spending the money even though it's cheaper right now did u nee that new or solar wave Casandra Bankson raves about it has a major sale buy one get one free and they have a new blue light one but I think the red is better prob but they have a new product for ance the light and it's bigger then that nuface light it had good reviews if u buy one u get one free Which I have never seen that deal on Amazon cause it's not a cheap product
So curious about air shot
Yeah it’s such a neat idea! I can’t wait to delve deeper
I don't wear make up but I know it looks better if your skin is good , hydrated and supple . ♥️🌈🇬🇧
Definitely! I think a lot of why Glossier came in so strong was their “skin first” approach - that makes a HUGE difference in applying makeup.
Why don't you use the Buffet with copper peptides in your morning routine?
I alternate BHA and vitamin C (preferably L-AA) every morning - have done this for, oh gosh, years at this point. I love it! But that means copper peptides don’t fit in here 😞
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I just bought the serum and I'm swapping it with my vitamin c in the morning. Another UA-camr said she did and noticed a major difference. I honestly haven't gotten much out of vitamin c over the years so I'm hoping that copper will wow me lol. 🤞🏼
Update : came in front my lunch and noticed that I infact had a new pimple on my jawline. So idk I'm not repurchasing either too funny of a product to use . Maybe I'll use it in my hair or undereyes
There’s another comment here of someone who used it on their undereyes. I’m actually thinking I might try the same for my last few uses of this bottle! Seems like excellent problem solving 🤔
I wanted to like TO Buffet + Copper, but I have to admit it does absolutely nothing for me...
Same!!! And it was such a pain in the ass to work into my routines so I just gave up 😕
Yeahhh, it just feels like too much hassle for too little return!
@@lizbarrand7701 I don't mind the caution it requires in terms of layering, since it's considered to be so powerful, but I have to admit it is really difficult to find a copper peptide serum at a decent % and price point that really delivers. Companies do focus on so many useless ingredients that become popular for marketing reasons and really lose sight of those that have scientific evidence of working.

Maybe I’m turning into a crotchety old lady sooner than I expected, but I have no patience for such finicky ingredients. (Sign of warning around its neck: Absolutely Does Not Play Well With Others.
