I find some Timeless products to be quite fantastic as well. They are less expensive than Maelove and also on the list. My channel is not just on products but rather more on education on what works and what ingredients to look for and what to avoid when making choices and much more. Thanks for watching though! 💛🌷
I totally agree. I love and go by ingredients and the order that are listed. I checked out a lot of these luxury products and the key ingredients are listed at the end of a very, very long list which means that the amount of the key ingredients are minimum. So you are paying for fancy wording and a bunch of oils. I have a license and I know what to look for. Good skin care doesn’t have to be $500 a jar. Im 68 years old and my skin looks amazing. I do use medical grade skincare backed up by science and a lot of research.
OMG! $747 for one ounce😮 I’m all for peptides, but with this economy, I don’t have a chance getting the first two brands. Thank you for showing other options. I truly appreciate some of the brands that you showed. Some don’t ship to Canada, some have costly shipping and duty charges, but I can see myself buying one time as a special treat for my skin. Thank you!
Once again I owe you a huge thank you for educating and recommending proven products. Without your videos I would not be familiar with products that actually make a difference. I appreciate you testing the items and giving us honest feedback of what truly works. You provide the science behind the products, how they work, and the benefits they give. I am forever indebted to you for providing to us knowledge and results (good & bad) from these products in your videos❤
Excited to see more frequent videos from your channel! I like your honest "what works" approach to review videos, and that you're not constantly pushing new products every week.
I've started using Auteur products because of your channel and I absolutely love them! I get so many compliments on my skin and I"m 54 years old! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Omg Desi, thank you so much for this video!!! I went down the Skin Perfection website rabbit hole and just wow… I wasn’t too sure about DIY but they have all the supplies and sanitizing instructions. The exciting thing about it is that we get to know the % of peptides. Like Maelove for example, we don’t know the % of peptides do we? AND there are so many exciting peptides to explore such as Pepha®️-Tight, Relistase®️-Peptide, Tens’Up™️ and Uplevity™️Peptides to name a few! We can be our own peptide designers! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible resource ♥️🙏🏼.
You are so smart to do that!! I included that one with that purpose. Yes, you can be your own designer of peptides and create anything. I am very much against DYI as well but this is just pouring and mixing. And they also have mixed ones as well. Very excited you got this!!! 🌷
Auteur Definitive Line Serum is my holy grail item. I rank it up there with P50 (1970) but that's a different category. I have had marionette lines most of my life and I'm shocked at what a difference it makes. I'm not sure if I'd trade my retin-A for it -- it's that good!! Thanks for reviewing Auteur earlier this year.
Now I am tempted to try this over the MBR. How long does this last you and is this a peptide serum that you can use all over your face please? I also have the p50 but here in Europe we don’t get the 1970. I like it but no dramatic results.
Desi, I have purchased the auteur exploration set (all sample packs for $28 so I bought two) and included are several packets of the line serum. I remember you telling me it's a game changer. Here's my question: You're supposed to put the serum on a dry face so assuming it's the first thing I would put on after I wash my face. Here's the thing: I always use several hydrating toners/essences followed by my GF serums and other peptide products before applying any moisturizers. I will often layer moisturizers too where I go from gel to a mid weight moisturizer and finally to something more occlusive. Will simply adding the line serum at the very start work in my routine? I do not limit my use of products to one brand but rather I use multiple brands (Emepelle, K beauty, calecim, avene, la Roche posay, Augustinus Bader, La Mer, Reviv, etc) Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
Some brands disclose the % of peptides on their website nowadays but if not: you can tell by how low on the ingredient list they are. If they are on the bottom and especially if the first 3 ingredients are Aqua (water), Glycerin & Dimethicone: usually a clear indication that the product contains a very small dosage.
Dear Desi.. would you be so kind and look for some serum and actives in Europe? I know you can not try them but maybe according to ingrediens list.. thanks
I’m so glad I found your page. I’m 56 years old and I had similar issues as you discussed in your previous videos with sagging skin. Thank you for educating me and I would love a free ziip product!!
You are like the sister I never had! I have started using Auteur because of a video of yours few months ago. My skin has never looked better 😊. I also want to try couple of other products that you have recommended in another video especially the serum for neck lines. I have signed up for your email notifications. Gimme knowledge
I came across your channel today and I actually love serums and I’ve used peptides in the past but really didn’t know which ones were really good. So thanks for the suggestions!
It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. They are very informative and very helpful in making the right picks in a sea of skincare products these days.
Finally! I was waiting this video in order to purchase my next peptide serum! The one from Auteur seems amazing! ❤We need updated morning and evening routines :D
I can't wait to try some of these products! I have worked in the beauty industry for years but these specific products are new to me. Thank you for your research work and testing.
This video is super helpful as I try to understand the role of peptides! I’m currently using Auteur line serum in the evenings but not sure if I see improvement yet or not? Maybe a little? Also bought the Auteur lifting toner. Although I love the feel of it, I’m not sure what it does for my skin??? Do I apply line serum first? Also, what do you think of Auteur sun drops? I’m currently using your Josiah sunscreen recommendation under makeup but am wondering which one you prefer? And finally, please do an updated morning routine video:)
Thank you!! 💛 At night only: start with the Auteur toner. It preps the skin so the Line Serum penetrates your skin even better but it also has a lifting, firming effect. Apply Line serum after by pressing into skin. Layer other products over (finish with moisturizer). Skincare that works needs a minimum of 3 months… The Sun Drops are a watery oil. They make your skin hydrated and glowy and you can use them instead of a moisturizer too. I find it difficult to put makeup immediately on top though. But perfect for no makeup days with a touch of powder.
Really LOVE this honest evaluation of products - i have a Maelove budget but im willing to try more expensive products if they really work - and Desi is someone i trust!!! Xo from Canada!❤
Thank you!! 💛 Just stick with the Line serum for a bit. You will see a difference…just use it at night as it is meant to perform and give results not so much to be used under makeup. Reach out with questions if any.
Desi, you really look amazing. You said you've had no surgeries? Can the micro current really do this much to reshape the face? Because your face looks so different from the before and after, it's really incredible. This is a game changer because it means we no longer need to spend a ton of money getting procedures from doctors office. I got a micro current device myself last week and I thought it was just me imagining it but I can see my face reshaping! I want to be careful not to reduce facial fat pads, but other than that I think it looks firmer already! Kind of shocked actually that this works so well!!! Thank you for your channel.
Thank you!!! No surgeries, no fillers, I’ve never even done micro-needling. I’ve never done anything that requires any downtime. Well, I think the shape of my face changes as I get older 😂. It’s not just the micro-current device, it’s a combination of the 5 things I spoke of in the video about sagging. That includes good peptides, good growth factor, Retinoids, etc. As I explain in the video, they all work in concert. 💛🌷
I had gorgeous skin and had run from the sun my entire life. At the beach I tanned my body but threw a towel over my neck and face. In spite of all that I got a facelift at 66. Wish I’d done it sooner. I use the density cream and line serum love 💕 it❤
Always love your makeup recommendations! Bought the Sisley lipstick and I am in love with it because of your recommendations! Now you are introducing me to quality peptide serums ❤❤
I am in agreement with the human growth factors. My intuition has always been uncomfortable with this. As always this was time well spent. You are professional & personable all wrapped up in a bow of integrity 💫✨👏
I have a video on Peptides and it explains the difference between all groups of peptides and what you need in a successful formulation. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/ioNPYPRwcBM/v-deo.html
Hi desi, I watch all your videos! Thanks!! I saw this vid when you released it but wondering why you didn’t recommend the Aos copper tripeptide and ectoin advanced repair serum? I read maybe it wasn’t in us yet?
Love your note! Love it that you know your peptides. 😄💛The Ectoin Advanced serum is brand new and just got released in the US (I ordered it a few days ago) so it wasn’t available when I made the video. It also takes me at least 5 weeks to test a product. It looks great though based on formula. 💛🌷
LOVE your channel! I use the one skin moisturizer, but I’m looking for a retinol. Tretinoin is too strong. Would you be able to recommend a simple routine for dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin (age 38)? I’d love any and all help!❤ Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for watching! 💛 Question: Have you tried a lower concentration of Tretinoin? If you are sensitive to a Vitamin A derivative, any form of Retinoid may be irritating. Maelove makes a good Retinol for beginners. I’d start there but I’d need more information to suggest a custom routine for your needs. Please, feel free to email me for further help. 💛💛💛🌷🌷🌷
Desi, have anxiously been waiting for this video so thank you! Peptides are the one product missing from my daily routine. Question about order of application. In the am, should I apply them before or after my Vitamin C serum, and at night before or after my tretinoin? Also, thank for pointing out the product that contains the human growth factor as I don’t prefer those. I love the Calecim products and use them daily. Thank you!
Congratulations! You are 1 of 3 WINNERS of my Skincare Giveaway. Can you please, send a quick e-mail to info@starkelevate.com so I can match your e-mail address and we can arrange for shipping of your gift. :)
Thank you for this video and your research on products!! Excellent information to help navigate all of the skincare products on the market!! I agree with you totally on the Auteur products. The Line serum definitely works. The biggest drawback is the price.
Hi! I’d avoid Angela Caglia as it does contain also stem cells and your skin may react negatively. Also, Allies of Skin if you are sensitive to Retinoids. Other than those, all others would be ok for your skin type. 🌷💛All links below (except where EU indicated) are US links.
I just found your channel!!! I’m blown away by your skincare transformation and beauty!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Subscribed!!!!
Thank you very much! Will be watching this video again and some of the suggested products are already on my shopping list ). May I please ask if in your future videos you may suggest the brands with your favorite retinol products🙏🏻? Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Just recently happened upon your channel.Overwhelming albeit very informative. What are the growth factor products you would recommend that don't require taking out a mortgage - ie, Auteur, MBR, etc.? Does Calecim have any in its line you would recommend?
😂 “taking out a mortgage” LOL I only use growth factor products by Calecim. I talk about exactly what products from them in a lot of my most recent videos.
The CIAS is actually a good serum. But it’s mostly Copper, which is a Carrier peptide (only 1 out of the 4 groups of peptides). It’s not diversified enough so it has to be combined with a 2nd peptide serum for maximum effectiveness. 💛
Awesome video on peptides! I been binge watching your videos but this one got me super excited! A couple of other brands that contain syn-ake that I enjoy are Reviv Serums, Skin Better Science and ZO Skin Health. Also recently got into Timeline Nutrition with their Mitopure patented ingredient and my skin definitely looks amazing! Thanks for your work on this!
What is your opinion of Augustinus Bader’s skin care? I have enjoyed all of your videos and appreciate your vast knowledge of skin care. I love the Auteur brand , but had to move to pm only due to am pilling. Thank you
Thank you very much. I appreciate the time, money, and effort you put into testing all these products. On another note, I have read that growth factor serums may have some side effects, which makes me slightly worried. What are your thoughts on that? I trust you and value your opinions. Thank you again.
Thank you!! When it comes to growth factors: if you have active acne, I would stay away from growth factors. Otherwise, just like with all products and ingredients - if you have side effects or sensitivity, I’d stop or minimize usage. Otherwise, we just don’t live long enough to experience the negative side so the benefits outweigh the downside.
ok i have a low budget, however I want to address sagging especially near cheek and eye area, would you recommend the timeless or the maelove for that?
For sagging, you’ll need all 3, what I call, 3 Tenors ingredients. Please, see my Sagging video. But to answer your question: the Maelove Peptide Squad is a more complete product from a peptide formulation perspective. 🌷
Thankyou for information. I am new here like the video so decided to sign up. I am learning about peptides I hope in the medicine world it will change and give us less drugs medicine. Love from Spain ♥️
Thank you for sharing all this precious information on skincare with us. I can see there is a lot of preparation and research behind your videos and that is why, whenever you recommend skincare products, I feel I can trust you 100% and buy them.
I have a question can you mix the Malove peptide squad with the skin perfection SYN-Ake was just wondering since it has our gene in it. I know it’s a different complex or peptide but just checking love your channel very informative. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Have a blessed day.🦋
I use Lotion P50 by Biologique Recherche but there are many options available on the market. Paula’s Choice makes good one, Versed has a good AHA liquid, DrDennisGross peels are fantastic. 🌷
Thank you so much for this video Desi, it is the best breakdown and explanation of the different types of peptides that I have ever seen. Love all of your videos, but this one is probably my favorite so far 🥰
Hi! I’d avoid SynAke during pregnancy. Most active skincare ingredients like peptides, Retinoids and most acids are not recommended to be used during pregnancy.
Love your input & choice of skincare! Using the MBR cross peptide now, have tried Revision Revox, couple from Allies of Skin. Have to try the others, thank you for doing what you do 🎉
Excellent info. So glad I found your channel. Question on the Syn-Ake. Can you add it to a regular moisturizer, serum or oil to get effects or does it have to be a peptide serum. Thanks
Thank you!! 💛🌹 I recommend adding to a serum with a thinner consistency so you can mix the SynAke drops in it. The drops are water like consistency. I sometimes even add 2-3 drops to my moisturizer and apply it that way too.

Auteur Definitive Line Serum is my holy grail item. I rank it up there with P50 (1970) but that's a different category.

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
💛 Apply toner first and then serum. Just go by consistency - from thinnest to thicker.
I was about to order a peptide serum, and then I am like "nope, let's wait for Desi's recommendations first.."😄
😀 Thank you so much for watching!!! 💛🌹
How do you know the concentration level of the peptides?
Some brands disclose the % of peptides on their website nowadays but if not: you can tell by how low on the ingredient list they are. If they are on the bottom and especially if the first 3 ingredients are Aqua (water), Glycerin & Dimethicone: usually a clear indication that the product contains a very small dosage.

I'm continually impressed by the thoroughness, the education and the honesty of your content. It's rare to find ! Thank you and well done. :)
I agree! I do too.
Thank you!!! 💛🌹
Tried several calcium products and I'm impressed!
Is it the multi action cream or the restorative night? Would like some info about which is best. There is also an eye cream.

I'm taking GHK-CU peptides from Swisschems. It helps a lot with skin and also has anti inflammatory and rejuvenation properties
Hi Desi.. one more question .. what do you think of Allies of Skin MULTI PEPTIDES & GF ADVANCED LIFTING SERUM?
Yes, I liked it as well but I do prefer the other 2 a bit more.
Finally! I was waiting this video in order to purchase my next peptide serum! The one from Auteur seems amazing! ❤We need updated morning and evening routines :D

Thank you so much for your recommendation and education on peptides
Desi, have anxiously been waiting for this video so thank you! Peptides are the one product missing from my daily routine. Question about order of application. In the am, should I apply them before or after my Vitamin C serum, and at night before or after my tretinoin? Also, thank for pointing out the product that contains the human growth factor as I don’t prefer those. I love the Calecim products and use them daily. Thank you!
💛I always apply my peptide serum before any other serum and before my Tret.
thank you!!
I cannot believe I have not heard of Angela Cagily Cell Forte Serum before, this sounds like a great product. I am going to try it next. Thank you!
You can always count on me to find the good stuff. 😀 Thank you for watching!! 💛🌹
Love all of your videos and the fact that you speak with so much knowledge and conviction always a pleasure to get your insight on products

@@desistark will do! Thank you
You simply saved my money! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video and your research on products!! Excellent information to help navigate all of the skincare products on the market!! I agree with you totally on the Auteur products. The Line serum definitely works. The biggest drawback is the price.
Thank you so much for watching!! 💛🌹
Hi dear! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Which one is better for acne prone sensitive skin?And can you please share a link for the US? Thanks
Hi! I’d avoid Angela Caglia as it does contain also stem cells and your skin may react negatively. Also, Allies of Skin if you are sensitive to Retinoids. Other than those, all others would be ok for your skin type. 🌷💛All links below (except where EU indicated) are US links.
I just found your channel!!! I’m blown away by your skincare transformation and beauty!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Subscribed!!!!
Thank you so much and Welcome!! 💛💛💛🌷🌷🌷
Thank you very much! Will be watching this video again and some of the suggested products are already on my shopping list ).
May I please ask if in your future videos you may suggest the brands with your favorite retinol products🙏🏻? Thank you!
Yes, I have a lot of content coming on retinol. I’ve been testing quite a few…
Reach out if any questions on anything. 💛🌹
Thank you for this video. Just recently happened upon your channel.Overwhelming albeit very informative.
What are the growth factor products you would recommend that don't require taking out a mortgage - ie, Auteur, MBR, etc.? Does Calecim have any in its line you would recommend?
😂 “taking out a mortgage” LOL
I only use growth factor products by Calecim. I talk about exactly what products from them in a lot of my most recent videos.
So NIOD Cias is not recommended? Just keep hearing good stuff about it...
The CIAS is actually a good serum. But it’s mostly Copper, which is a Carrier peptide (only 1 out of the 4 groups of peptides). It’s not diversified enough so it has to be combined with a 2nd peptide serum for maximum effectiveness. 💛
@@desistark thank you so much
Hi Desi, could the syn ake drops be added to the timeless matrixyl or mae love peptide squad
Sure. Just make sure you mix well.
Thank you 😊
Awesome video on peptides! I been binge watching your videos but this one got me super excited! A couple of other brands that contain syn-ake that I enjoy are Reviv Serums, Skin Better Science and ZO Skin Health. Also recently got into Timeline Nutrition with their Mitopure patented ingredient and my skin definitely looks amazing! Thanks for your work on this!
Reviv almost made my list. Love them too. The Zo eye products are great. Timeline is on my list to try next.
Thank you!! 💛💛🌹🌹🌹
What is your opinion of Augustinus Bader’s skin care? I have enjoyed all of your videos and appreciate your vast knowledge of skin care. I love the Auteur brand , but had to move to pm only due to am pilling. Thank you
Hi! I’ll have to dedicate a video on Bader as I’m getting a lot of questions on it. I’ll do so soon.
And yes, I only use Auteur at night. 💛💛💛
This is very informative and overall I’ve enjoyed watching all your videos.
Thank you for all your research.
Thank you for your recommendations!!!
What are your thoughts on the ingredients in Peter T Roth Peptide 21?
That’s not a bad one. It only has 2 types of peptides but it has Argireline so not a bad one at all.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the time, money, and effort you put into testing all these products. On another note, I have read that growth factor serums may have some side effects, which makes me slightly worried. What are your thoughts on that? I trust you and value your opinions. Thank you again.
Thank you!!
When it comes to growth factors: if you have active acne, I would stay away from growth factors. Otherwise, just like with all products and ingredients - if you have side effects or sensitivity, I’d stop or minimize usage. Otherwise, we just don’t live long enough to experience the negative side so the benefits outweigh the downside.
ok i have a low budget, however I want to address sagging especially near cheek and eye area, would you recommend the timeless or the maelove for that?
For sagging, you’ll need all 3, what I call, 3 Tenors ingredients. Please, see my Sagging video.
But to answer your question: the Maelove Peptide Squad is a more complete product from a peptide formulation perspective. 🌷
Thankyou for information. I am new here like the video so decided to sign up. I am learning about peptides I hope in the medicine world it will change and give us less drugs medicine. Love from Spain ♥️
Thank you!! 💛🌷
Desi what do you think about rapamycin cream? I just want to know your thoughts about it since you’re into anti-aging creams. Thanks
I haven’t tried Rapamycin but I just did try OneSkin which addresses the same senescence problem in skin. Video coming up soon.
Thank you for sharing all this precious information on skincare with us. I can see there is a lot of preparation and research behind your videos and that is why, whenever you recommend skincare products, I feel I can trust you 100% and buy them.
💛Thank you so much for appreciating my time and input!!💛
Love the fact that you give us different price points. Trust your recommendations big time! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your research findings will us! Incredibly helpful!!
Thank you!! 💛
I have a question can you mix the Malove peptide squad with the skin perfection SYN-Ake was just wondering since it has our gene in it. I know it’s a different complex or peptide but just checking love your channel very informative. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Have a blessed day.🦋
So sorry meant Argireline I did not check my text talk message lol
Absolutely! You can mix any type of peptides together including SynAke and Argireline with the Peptide Squad. 🌷
@@desistark thanks so much
Thank you Desi for this video. I enjoy listening to you and learning from you🙂🙂😘
hi what chemical exfoliator can I use every morning? Can you suggest some brands?
I use Lotion P50 by Biologique Recherche but there are many options available on the market. Paula’s Choice makes good one, Versed has a good AHA liquid, DrDennisGross peels are fantastic. 🌷
Thank you for all the great recommendations!
This is a wonderful channel. Very informative.
I am impressed by your thorough reviews and look forward to many more upcoming videos! Thank you!
Thank you!! 💛🌹
Thank you so much for this video Desi, it is the best breakdown and explanation of the different types of peptides that I have ever seen. Love all of your videos, but this one is probably my favorite so far 🥰
Ok, this video and the previous peptide video......ive listened to them both 3 times so far 😅 (I'm an audio-learner) thanks again so much!
Thank you!!! 💛🌹
I've been trying to find some more info on syn-ake...is this a peptide that can be used during pregnancy?
Hi! I’d avoid SynAke during pregnancy. Most active skincare ingredients like peptides, Retinoids and most acids are not recommended to be used during pregnancy.
Do you need to rotate peptides?
All peptides work well together so you don’t need to rotate.
Love peptides and I think the make a world of difference!
Love your input & choice of skincare! Using the MBR cross peptide now, have tried Revision Revox, couple from Allies of Skin. Have to try the others, thank you for doing what you do 🎉
Excellent info. So glad I found your channel. Question on the Syn-Ake. Can you add it to a regular moisturizer, serum or oil to get effects or does it have to be a peptide serum. Thanks
Thank you!! 💛🌹
I recommend adding to a serum with a thinner consistency so you can mix the SynAke drops in it. The drops are water like consistency.
I sometimes even add 2-3 drops to my moisturizer and apply it that way too.
