Hey guys and welcome to today's video which is all about copper peptides... Do you use copper peptides and if so what do you think the results are? Love you so so much x
Hi Rob I've been using peptides (including copper peptides) in serums for a long time. I don't use the Niod regularly due to price, but did try one bottle. I like peptides for hydration, but truthfully at 50 don't think they're miraculous for antiaging. Plumping up the look of the skin will stop the tiny lines from dehydration looking visible, but real actual wrinkles and sagging - no not that I have seen. The only ingredient (apart from spf) that has improved firmness for me are retinoids - nothing else comes close for turning back the clock a little. Azelaic acid has greatly improved texture for me and improved the appearance of pores, which is a benefit to the skin looking better. Especially for women the loss of oestrogen is a major factor in sagging of the skin and as I'm through "menopause" this was when I noted the quickest aging. Retinoids gave me back the cushion in the skin and thicker/healthier skin overall, but I still have lines from having an expressive face (talking, laughing and occasional frowning throughout my life). I don't care about having a few wrinkles - I'm 50 and they are a sign of a life lived. What I didn't like was the thinning of the skin and consequent sagging. Retinoids are what helped with that. I don't use vitamin c due to having ultra sensitive skin, but pigment isn't my main concern anyway. I have always thought peptides are a bit of an "over promise and under deliver" ingredient and the fancy Niod one didn't change that for me. They are hydrating and my dry skin likes them fine, but all I see from them is the plumping from hydration tbh. This is not where I want to spend such a chunk of my budget for my skins needs. I am glad others feel they see benefits, but the majority of subscribers are younger than I am I think. There is a massive difference to what works at 30 to what works at 50, plus men's skin is genetically slightly thicker and has a more active oil gland throughout their lives. It is about being realistic and spending on what really works for each of us. Best wishes.
Thank you so much for saying this! That was valuable for me, and I really appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge. I was wondering what was truly effective, as all these products do add up in cost. I love NIOD’s copper peptides for its instant plumping, but it’s helpful to know that a retinoid and sunscreen is what truly works for anti-aging. Have you tried anything beyond topicals (lasers, botox, etc)? And do you have any particular favorite skincare products?
@@CamilaSaurus Hi I have never had any procedures or injectables etc, but I've always thought it's an each to their own as far as that's concerned. All I would say is to make sure anyone you go to is properly trained and investigate reviews etc before getting anything done. Done incorrectly injectables can cause permanent disfigurement as can any procedures. It would be a Dermatologist, Plastic surgeon or Maxillofacial surgeon I would pick if I decided to do so. As to other skincare it is very dependent on what your skin needs. I'm super dry with rosacea and eczema, plus I'm 50 and menopausal. My skin doesn't tolerate vitamin c or acids etc. i have dabbled with both many times, but the irritation they cause me in turn causes more aging. If your skin is tougher, then a pure form vitamin c has been shown to increase the efficacy of your spf and acids can help the skin cells turn over faster. I hope that helps.
I’ve been using the CAIS for a year now in conjunction with retinal. In the morning, I use an l-ascorbic vitamin c serum. These three ingredients/products have worked absolute wonders for the well ageing (anti ageing) benefits. This video is so informative for anyone who is curious about starting a copper peptide product. It is definitely worth it! 🤍
Hi. I do the same. I use the C glow of Geek&Gorgeous in the morning (but not every day because I have sensitivity on the cheeks because it’s too acidic? ). In the evening (every other day) I use the CAIS on my face and on the eyes. Then I use the FECC of Niod for an extra dose of peptides. Then retinal on my face (A game from G&G) and on my eyes (physiolift from Aveme but I will continue with G&G when it’s finished). And a moisturiser as a final step. When I don’t use the retinal, I use a serum with resveratrol from facetheory .
No experience with copper peptides here, I'm 25 and retinol still works for me to fight any signs of ageing and subq is enough as a antioxidant or at least I think so :) ... just 'gently caressed' the like button 🤣 lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 💕 ❤
That blue shirt is absolutely gorgeous on you! I always seem to say it, but peptides (copper and other) are the last real point of skincare confusion for me. Based on what you and many subscribers here say, I've been overly conservative with what I do or do not combine with it. I've been using both the CAIS and SubQ Skin, and I do love both. I don't know if I'll be repurchasing CAIS at the moment, as I'm preparing to hit the road and be a nomad and am trying to downsize/simplify, but the SubQ Skin seems like it provides more "bounce" and hydration, while CAIS seems to provide more anti-aging benefits. I love, love, love what peptides have been doing for my skin, and I totally have you and everyone in this community to thank for getting me in on it. ❤️
Thank you so so so much hun and you are so sweet, your comment just put a huge smile on my face :).. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you so so much love xxxxx
I found The Buffet without copper peptides worked better on my older skin than the copper peptide version did. For increased firmness and general improvement, the Timeless 20% ascorbic acid brought more visible improvement than peptides.
Gosh, just that blue shirt and your eyes be POPPIN! ❤️ I love my NIOD CAIS, and am always buffering with cosrx snail essence whenever I use my TO lactic acid 5%. Love how it has helped the scarring from the cystic acne flare I had the other year!
I can't sing the praises of NIOD'S CAIS enough, Rob! The price is not welcome lol but the results omg. Totally agree with you that if you're serious about anti-aging, copper peptides, with the more enhanced technologies available, are totally worth it. Wishing you a lovely week 😘
One tip regarding returning the skins ph after u have used your low PH products: you are better off using them in different routines bc by resetting the PH you basically render the low PH products ineffective. For example, if you use an acid then rebalance the PH, you have neutralized the acid. I would suggest just waiting 20 mins in between until the acid gets in and ur skin returns to normal on its own. Then you are not putting on an acid or vit c then immediately neutralizing it.
Skin Biology and Dr pickart were one of the first to tell people the benefits of copper peptides and skin remodelling . I used quite a few of the products and wow did they work . Not something we can get in the U.K. though :(
Hi Rob! I'm shocked after watching your video from yesterday, As an Australian I'm really disappointed to see you supporting Aesop (MLM) buying their products and in a way making them gain more exposure, I really thought you were against such directions and schemes, I loved how you called out all the scammy seedy brands in ur previous videos like MB herbivore and many others, but to c u support an MLM is unbelievable and hard for me to grasp, I'm not sure if you knew about it but at the end of the day it's up to your discretion what pockets your hard earned money is pouring into, I'll always remain a big fan of you because I adore your content but I'll kindly ask you to reconsider ur purchasing options, I know what those brands did to ppl I know and close to me, some of my friends are still recovering from the irreversible damages those ppl caused to their lives. Thanks for always being you❤️
Hiya hun.. Thank you so much for reaching out. I always research brands to the best of my ability and wasnt aware of this re Aesop.. I have looked online and they are now owned by a brand who does have some MLM brands under them there is nothing to suggest Aesop has any direct sales marketing - do you have a source as i would hate to promote an MLM as like you say i know what an impact this style of business has on people and for many it's nothing more than a scam.. Love you lots xxxxxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin I’m also in Aus and Aesop is just sold in bricks and mortar stores like the department store Myer. I’m not at all aware of it being a MLM brand. Doesn’t mean there isn’t any crossover, perhaps like how The Body Shop has typical stores as well as direct sales through MLM. But this is the first I’ve heard of it if it is 🤷♀️
@@MadAboutSkin unfortunately I have no source, unless you google Aesop parent company you'd never know it's owned by a HUGE MLMs, but the fact that high percentage of the brand's profits goes directly to the the MLM parent company which in its turn supports the other MLMs underneath it is sad, they do a great job marketing Aesop and I kinda understand why it appeals to a lot of ppl but I have insider information about the connection between them and the body shop (another sister MLM to Aesop) and God knows what other mlms, I'm not necessarily saying they're an actual mlm but when you're buying from them you're unconsciously SUPPORTING other pyramid schemes through their hierarchy, it's a very closely related network, I'll do my best to find some reliable sources but for now I only have anecdotal evidence from ppl I know and trust, you can always do more research on your end as well❤️
Does any of you guys experienced hair growth on the face while using the copper peptides? I find that I got more my peach fuzz then I used to have before and I started reading about it and found some articles that said that copper peptides could increase hair growth. It’s so disappointing as I love using them and still have an unopened bottle of CAIS 😭😭 Would love to know ur opinion on this Rob 🙏🏼❤️ Did anyone else noticed anything? Lots of love ❤️
Which moisturiser do you use Patti? I have been looking out for one with copper peptides and haven't been able to find one.. Hope you don't mind me asking xx
I love love love the subq too Patti and I'm using it more and more since the NIOD went up in price so much... Happy Tuesday hun are you having a good start to the week? Love you x
@@paulinemaxton2938 Well, Pauline, you will be shocked! The store Dollar General has line of makeup and skincare called Believe Beauty. The makeup products are made in Italy, and the foundation is better than the high end ones I've uses. They started a skincare line, and they have the Believe Beauty Hydrating Gel Moisturizer, which has peptieds, including copper peptides. Now it has a very strong fragrance, but the scent has actually grown on me!
@@rachmaninovwasemo2313 Smooth skin that has more elasticity. I will be 60 in July, but my skin feels more like it did in my 40's. Now, I also use an OTC retinol plus many other actives for four years now. But I do see an improvement since starting the SubQ Skin!
Thanks so much Rob clarifying this. It had been a real 🤯 for me re. how can I introduce copper peptides into my existing am & pm skin care routine without compromising it or changing it. ❤
Deciem does tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to which product combinations they recommend and discourage. I wonder if that's partly because they know The Ordinary is like a "gateway" brand for a lot of newbies who can quickly go overboard with their routines. (Been there!😆)
I totally agree with you and I dont think thats a bad thing as like you say its a brand for newbies and we have all been there and overloaded the skin at the start of our skincare journey lol.. Love you xxxx
Just started to use this! Looked up a video to find out what can/can't use with it! I use retinol, salicylic, glycolic acid, vit c actives and having found out shouldn't use actives with then as it "cancels" them is a bit annoying! So I'm just rotating buffet cop peptides with retinol at night. Other actives alternating in the morning
I skin cycle so I use dedicated nights specifically for my Copper Peptide serum from TO. It doesn't play well with others (Vit C, Retinol, pretty much any actives lol) so I have to dedicate nights to using it but it's worth it IMO. I love using TO Buffet during the day, paired with my Vit C, E and Ferulic Acid serum from DRMTLGY and the the Copper Peptides serum at night and I do that like 5x a week. My skincare routine is still NOT streamlined, if you can believe it. Like, I don't have a tailored skincare routine at this moment because I am still experimenting and playing with various products but Copper Peptides will also be a staple in my routine. Edited to add after watching full video: you make so many excellent points! After I use up my Vit C Serum from DRMTLGY (even though I absolutely adore it!!), I dont think I'll be repurchasing it and instead will be using my Copper Peptides serum during the day and Tretinoin at night. Great tip! I want to streamline my routine so I figure I don't need more than one antioxidant, right?
I actually inject GHK-Cu which is known as a copper tripeptide. You reconstitute it and inject BUT you can also put it in skin creams or serums. Love it! New sub here. Btw. I think you're great!
I’ve been looking into the injection, where do you get it done? I’ve read many great things about GHK-Cu injections, I’m a licensed cosmetologist, and hairstylist, I’ve been using the topical 1% (the ordinary mixed with Biossance) on my hairline and it IS growing my hairline back! It’s been about 10 weeks and see more density in the corners of my hairline!!
@@KB-sf6nt At the time I was purchasing online and injecting myself. I am not injecting at the moment but recently purchased a small vial of pure Copper Peptide to mix with a water based face cream. Only been using a few days but can already see a difference. That's amazing about your hairline! I never realized how much I needed it in my life! Lol
Rob, you are the Best Looking Copper Peptide in that beautiful blue shirt of yours! : ) Got both Niod and Hilamide serums thanks to your "fangirling" : ) and am very excited to try them!
How do you know the results other than simply plumping you are seeing are from copper peptides if you are using retinoids and other ingredients with proven results?
Hi Rob and everyone! Question: can I use vitamin C (or a derivative) together with peptides in my morning routine? If so, in which order? I do have a ph5.5 toner in case that is needed. Thanks!
Great video! I'm currently using a several drops of CAIS3 with Hymalide SubQ skin. It's only been 3 weeks so jury is still out. I hope you had a terrific Tuesday ☺️
I havent tried anything from the brand but I really need to as I have been hearing such good things.. let me know what you think of it when you have used it. love you xxxxx
Found it hard to fit it into a routine. Doesn’t play well with the Vit C serum I use in the AM; slightly irritating so didn’t want to layer after tretinoin at night. 🤷🏻♀️ Decided to put it on my saggy knees! 😂 I use the Ordinary brand so not too expensive.
I recommend suntanning on both sides for twenty mins per day per side...forty mins then get out of the sun..my god i could talk for hours on the benefits for your skin and overall health!!
Thank you Rob. I am curious to know, have you tried the Argireline in combo with Subq skin or Buffet ? Buffet contains Pentapeptide-18 which is claimed to target expression wrinkles that appear due to facial movements too and work in a synergistic way with Argireline...
I'm still not sure why people see The Ordinary Buffet plus CP as a cheaper dupe for CAIS. Even the Deciem staff say Hylamide SubQ skin is a much better copper product than the Buffet CP product - and it's cheaper.
Hi hun, I think this is a really good point and thats why I personally reach for the subq as a good dupe.. the price point varies so so much that sometimes the buffet + copper is cheaper than subq in some countries and not in others.. thank you for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
So I’ve been using Copper Peptides at nite on face before Tret & on neck under Retinal. Ugh, guess that’s been a waste of my $60 NIOD? Sometimes skincare makes me wanna cry! 😢
Oh I know the feeling as this sort of thing has happened to me before. in truch I still think you will have been getting value from it as there are also derms out there who say its fine to use with tret I think its one of those grey areas which is why I always go on the side of caution.. sending you lots of love xxxxxx
I don't think it's a, waste of time at all. I use mine both at night too. But I apply tretinoin first. Then the copper serum, then a touch of moisturiser. Seems to be going great so I'm not stopping. On the nights I don't use tretinoin I may use lactic acid or salicylic acid. Then I wait a few minutes and put the copper peptides on then.
7:33 Tretinoin is also an acid, which are not retinol and retinal. But many experts have conflicted views on this topic. It seems that Dr.Loren Pickard says that : - Tretinoin on top of copper peptides supposedly pushes copper peptides deeper into the skin. (I guess it can be potentially irritating but this is what I personally do, the hardcore way, because I want to use peptides both mornings and evenings every day lol) - Copper peptides on top of tretinoin will reduce irritation the tretinoin might cause. (I am not a fan of this since peptide serums are watery products and tretinoin is a cream).
I totally agree with you hun there is so much conflicting data out there on this one.. I personally air on the side of caution but I think this is something more studies should look into .. love you xxxxx
Which do you think would be more beneficial to use every morning, copper peptides or vitamin c? I alternate retinol, lactic acid and vitamin c in the evening usually but i dont know if id be better off using the peptides in the evening and the vit c in the morning instead? Or should i stick to vit c at night and copper peptides in the morning?
Hi Rush, I would say if the routine you have now is working for you stick with it as its a great way of incorporating multiple actives.. I hope this helps and thank you so much for sharing .. love you xxxxx
Hi Rob, so do you use CAIS one day the then SubQ the next? Also do you think just using copper peptides once a day is enough to get the benefits? I've nearly finished my 2nd bottle of The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides 1% and it's pretty good, but I feel like I want to put it on all the time! I use tretinoin at night and sometimes I still use the copper peptides with it. Perhaps I shouldn't, or would the 5.5 toner/serum buffer technique work with tret too?
Hi hun, the buffer would work with the tret as you say so thats one great solution.. I get great results using them once a day and I think this matches my skincare price point but of course you would get more from using them more frequently.. I use the NIOD one morning then the SubQ the next.. sending you lots of love xxxxxx
Hi! Thank you for this video! I was wondering you know anything about how copper peptides can cause/stimulate hair growth? I can't seem to find much information and I wouldn't want that to happen on my face! Thank you!
Hello.....love your videos!! I'd like to ask,please, do you think it's ok to use Cooper peptides same routine as CSRX snail mucin?? and if yes,wich one you think would go first?? 🌻✨✨✨
Hello! I’ve been enjoying your content lately. In the evening I use a glycolic acid pad and follow with Isntree green tea toner and then NIOD CAIS. Would the toner buffer the acid enough so that my CAIS will be effective? I prefer to use the acid at night because it cleans and smooths my skin so well. Help!!! I don’t want to waste that expensive stuff.
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you for watching.. yes I think that toner would work perfectly and its one of my favourites.. sending you lots of love xxxxxxx
When the Ordinary had their big sale in November I really wanted to try the argireline/matrixyl Botox effect and since you were recommending copper peptides I got the buffet with them. Right now the only retinol I’m using is the Ordinary’s Granactive retinoids 2% (I’ve tried their other retinoids but my skin was all meh give me back the other! Currently I’m using the A/M combo in the am (after cleanse & toner) and the buffet in the pm. Because you’ve mentioned there might be a problem with a retinoid/copper peptide I cleanse, retinoid, toner, buffet, moisturizer…. But even before I separated them I noticed a positive difference within a month! I was pretty skeptical tho. Perhaps I’ll bring back the cosrx snail mucin? So far this winter the 2 things that I see making my skin better are the copper + peptides and the supplement Helio ( not sure if you can get this in the UK?). The supplement took about 2.5 bottles to start showing a difference (I was gonna give up on it but instead bought another bottle). Thanks to you videos I’m discovering new skincare that doesn’t break the bank!
Hi hun, I have made one in the past but it didnt do that well so its something I am trying to feature more within other videos as I do think its really important we cut down on the waste we have in our routine.. sending you lots of love xxxxxx
Really informative as always but any chance of discussing some other copper peptide serums from other brands? Niod is AMAZING but there must be companies other than Deciem making this stuff.......right?? 🙏🏻
Hi hun, I do think when it comes to copper peptides Deciem have the best predicts but I did call out Face Theory which I think are on a par and if you want to go super drugstore I would suggest Revolution skincare which has an amazing serum :) I will leave some more recommendations in the description box for people looking for some alternative.. love you xxxxx
Hi! I gave been using tretinoin for years at night! And, would like to add copper peptides! I use Vitamin C during the day! Can I use the copper peptides 20 minutes after my tretinoin? Most appreciated!!!
For someone with existing hirutism do you recommend the ordinary copper peptides as I have heard that copper peptides can further increase the facial hair growth?
Hi hun, thank you so so much for watching and most of the data I have seen suggests 1% is optimum and anything more than that could run the risk of irritation.. love you xxxx
Hey!!! Quick question … can I use 2 different copper peptides together??? My RNW SERUM has copper tripeptide 1 and Drunk elephant protini polypeptide or acure which I’m thinking about switching now bc I’m out of my DRMTLGY peptide night cream … they have a copper -14 in them …. Thanks a lot!!! 🤍🤍🤍 and I’m sure I can’t use them in the morning with my timeless vitamin c is the bubble okay … super confusing lol thanks a million … hope u had a great vaca!!! 🍓🍓🍓☀️☀️☀️🪴🪴🪴
Hey Rob, well done!!!! great video, of course I caressed the like button. What a great resource material which should ease folks concerns over how and when to use Copper Peptides. Sending lots of love to you as well as your furry and feathered friends ~ Paula
Hey Rob. I haven't used a copper peptide, I'm not sure if I need one or not. I'm a little confused, did you mean the subq skin, I use that nightly, is a copper peptide or you just use that in conjunction with one? Much love ❤️
Hi hun, yes the subq counts so you have them in your routine without even knowing lol.. hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxxx
I combined Niod cp with Hylamide and Argeline from Ordinary that I had leftover. Never found either to be beneficial. It helps the consistency so I don’t use too much or waste it because it is so watery. Is this a bad idea?
Yes you can hun you can use them with derivatives.. In terms of encapsulation, I created my own encapsulated copper peptide but it wont be back in stock for another week. The naturium one is a great encapsulated alternative though which I love x
I use The Ordinary Buffet + copper peptides every other morning. I use an essence before but no other actives at that time. I have noticed after awhile my face & chest start itching although there is no redness or rash. Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm afraid to use copper peptides because so many actives interact with them and render them inactive. We can't use them with strong antioxidants for example. Well what's to strong?
Hi Laura, I think it would be better to use the peptide in the morning, if it's a vitamin c derivative you're using, as it won't have such a low pH as a pure vitamin c
Oh gosh I am so sorry it didnt work for you but it just goes to show all our skin is unique and different products work differently.. sending you so. much love xxxxxx
I've been on tazorac for several years for acne, and I'm just wondering if you've seen research about how it plays with Copper Peptides? It's a prescription retinoid, but it's stronger and a different chemical than Retin-A (for example, doesn't become less effective when used in sunlight, etc.)
I've been using copper peptides with tazorac for six months now (applied at night obviously, peptides first, wait a bit, then tazorac). I've had no irritation. Skin hasn't changed that month, so maybe the peptide is denatured, but other people out there in YT land use the same combo w/o issue.
Can you recommend something else beside Geek and Gorgeous Stress Less Serum then I layers peptide with vitamins C and other active ingredients? I live in the states and can afford to pay the international shipping. Please and Thank you
Hi I find the Aveeno calm and restore to be a very soothing/calming serum and it will perform the same function. Another choice would be a centella/cica serum. I hope that helps.
Hi hun, there have been some studies in this field but none of them have conclusively proven that it creates hair growth. I wouldn't worry too much about it... sending you lots of love x
Recently tried the Biossance CP and my skin immediately felt dry afterwards. Returned it and am now using CAIS and so far liking it for dry, dehydrated winter skin.
I wouldn't advise it... the CAIS utilizes a particular technology that's meant to work in synergy with its own formulation. What you can do is just use them on alternate days.
Hi hun, I know some people who do but I wouldn't as I worry it would disrupt the technology in the CAIS.. how I do it is alternate with different mornings which makes the CAIS go so much further.. love you xxxxx
I...just...can't...decide if they're worth it or not. I used up several The Ordinary Buffet+copper peptides and one small NIOD CAIS, and I'm not sure if I notice results or not. The NIOD is impractically water-like to the point I dread putting it on. I think I will splurge on the full ounce and sort of hope I don't like it. The price borderline gives me anxiety. So much for enhoying your routine!
Oh I totally agree with you on the NIOD one I think the texture makes it really difficult to apply to the skin and the risk of wastage at that price point is not the good feeling lol.. Thank you for sharing and I hope all is amazing with you xxxx
Hey guys and welcome to today's video which is all about copper peptides... Do you use copper peptides and if so what do you think the results are? Love you so so much x

I am glad others feel they see benefits, but the majority of subscribers are younger than I am I think. There is a massive difference to what works at 30 to what works at 50, plus men's skin is genetically slightly thicker and has a more active oil gland throughout their lives. It is about being realistic and spending on what really works for each of us. Best wishes.

I found The Buffet without copper peptides worked better on my older skin than the copper peptide version did. For increased firmness and general improvement, the Timeless 20% ascorbic acid brought more visible improvement than peptides.
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and love you lots xxxxx
Gosh, just that blue shirt and your eyes be POPPIN! ❤️ I love my NIOD CAIS, and am always buffering with cosrx snail essence whenever I use my TO lactic acid 5%. Love how it has helped the scarring from the cystic acne flare I had the other year!
Awww thank you so so much hun and I hope your having the most amazing week.. Love you xxxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin same to you, muck love!
Much* 😂😂😂
I can't sing the praises of NIOD'S CAIS enough, Rob! The price is not welcome lol but the results omg. Totally agree with you that if you're serious about anti-aging, copper peptides, with the more enhanced technologies available, are totally worth it. Wishing you a lovely week 😘
I know what you mean hun, I love it so much but that price point is not the best lol.. love you and hope all is amazing with you xxxx
One tip regarding returning the skins ph after u have used your low PH products: you are better off using them in different routines bc by resetting the PH you basically render the low PH products ineffective. For example, if you use an acid then rebalance the PH, you have neutralized the acid. I would suggest just waiting 20 mins in between until the acid gets in and ur skin returns to normal on its own. Then you are not putting on an acid or vit c then immediately neutralizing it.
I can't live without Niod copper peptides! Love this product, it's game-changing for my skin for sure🙌
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Skin Biology and Dr pickart were one of the first to tell people the benefits of copper peptides and skin remodelling . I used quite a few of the products and wow did they work . Not something we can get in the U.K. though :(
Its a shame we cant get in the UK but thank you so much for sharing xxxx
You look so good in this copper color color!!!! Rob thanks. I tried products recommended by you and my skin is thanking you .
Oh thank you so so so much hun thats so kind of you to say and thank you :) sending love x

Hi Rob!
I'm shocked after watching your video from yesterday, As an Australian I'm really disappointed to see you supporting Aesop (MLM) buying their products and in a way making them gain more exposure, I really thought you were against such directions and schemes, I loved how you called out all the scammy seedy brands in ur previous videos like MB herbivore and many others, but to c u support an MLM is unbelievable and hard for me to grasp, I'm not sure if you knew about it but at the end of the day it's up to your discretion what pockets your hard earned money is pouring into, I'll always remain a big fan of you because I adore your content but I'll kindly ask you to reconsider ur purchasing options, I know what those brands did to ppl I know and close to me, some of my friends are still recovering from the irreversible damages those ppl caused to their lives.
Thanks for always being you❤️
Hiya hun.. Thank you so much for reaching out. I always research brands to the best of my ability and wasnt aware of this re Aesop.. I have looked online and they are now owned by a brand who does have some MLM brands under them there is nothing to suggest Aesop has any direct sales marketing - do you have a source as i would hate to promote an MLM as like you say i know what an impact this style of business has on people and for many it's nothing more than a scam.. Love you lots xxxxxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin I’m also in Aus and Aesop is just sold in bricks and mortar stores like the department store Myer. I’m not at all aware of it being a MLM brand. Doesn’t mean there isn’t any crossover, perhaps like how The Body Shop has typical stores as well as direct sales through MLM. But this is the first I’ve heard of it if it is 🤷♀️
@@MadAboutSkin unfortunately I have no source, unless you google Aesop parent company you'd never know it's owned by a HUGE MLMs, but the fact that high percentage of the brand's profits goes directly to the the MLM parent company which in its turn supports the other MLMs underneath it is sad, they do a great job marketing Aesop and I kinda understand why it appeals to a lot of ppl but I have insider information about the connection between them and the body shop (another sister MLM to Aesop) and God knows what other mlms, I'm not necessarily saying they're an actual mlm but when you're buying from them you're unconsciously SUPPORTING other pyramid schemes through their hierarchy, it's a very closely related network, I'll do my best to find some reliable sources but for now I only have anecdotal evidence from ppl I know and trust, you can always do more research on your end as well❤️

Does any of you guys experienced hair growth on the face while using the copper peptides? I find that I got more my peach fuzz then I used to have before and I started reading about it and found some articles that said that copper peptides could increase hair growth. It’s so disappointing as I love using them and still have an unopened bottle of CAIS 😭😭
Would love to know ur opinion on this Rob 🙏🏼❤️
Did anyone else noticed anything?
Lots of love ❤️
I have been using copper peptides for almost a year now, and will never be without it!!🥰❤️❤️❤️ I use the SubQ Skin, and a moisturizer with cp as well!
Which moisturiser do you use Patti? I have been looking out for one with copper peptides and haven't been able to find one.. Hope you don't mind me asking xx
I love love love the subq too Patti and I'm using it more and more since the NIOD went up in price so much... Happy Tuesday hun are you having a good start to the week? Love you x
@@paulinemaxton2938 Well, Pauline, you will be shocked! The store Dollar General has line of makeup and skincare called Believe Beauty. The makeup products are made in Italy, and the foundation is better than the high end ones I've uses.
They started a skincare line, and they have the Believe Beauty Hydrating Gel Moisturizer, which has peptieds, including copper peptides. Now it has a very strong fragrance, but the scent has actually grown on me!
What difference have you noticed?
@@rachmaninovwasemo2313 Smooth skin that has more elasticity. I will be 60 in July, but my skin feels more like it did in my 40's. Now, I also use an OTC retinol plus many other actives for four years now. But I do see an improvement since starting the SubQ Skin!
Thanks so much Rob clarifying this. It had been a real 🤯 for me re. how can I introduce copper peptides into my existing am & pm skin care routine without compromising it or changing it. ❤
My pleasure hun and I am so glad you found the video useful. love x
Great timing - I just started on TO Buffet+copper peptides (to see what all the hype is about 😉) and have so many questions especially about layering
I am so glad the video came at the right time for you hun and I hope you love the product.. let me know what you think.. love you xxxx
Deciem does tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to which product combinations they recommend and discourage. I wonder if that's partly because they know The Ordinary is like a "gateway" brand for a lot of newbies who can quickly go overboard with their routines. (Been there!😆)
I totally agree with you and I dont think thats a bad thing as like you say its a brand for newbies and we have all been there and overloaded the skin at the start of our skincare journey lol.. Love you xxxx
Just started to use this! Looked up a video to find out what can/can't use with it! I use retinol, salicylic, glycolic acid, vit c actives and having found out shouldn't use actives with then as it "cancels" them is a bit annoying! So I'm just rotating buffet cop peptides with retinol at night. Other actives alternating in the morning
Thanks for clearing up the confusion on this Rob! I’m still confused, but not as confused as I was before! 🤣❤️xxx
Haha I think this is one of the most confusing topics in skincare.. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you so much love xxxxx
I skin cycle so I use dedicated nights specifically for my Copper Peptide serum from TO. It doesn't play well with others (Vit C, Retinol, pretty much any actives lol) so I have to dedicate nights to using it but it's worth it IMO. I love using TO Buffet during the day, paired with my Vit C, E and Ferulic Acid serum from DRMTLGY and the the Copper Peptides serum at night and I do that like 5x a week. My skincare routine is still NOT streamlined, if you can believe it. Like, I don't have a tailored skincare routine at this moment because I am still experimenting and playing with various products but Copper Peptides will also be a staple in my routine.
Edited to add after watching full video: you make so many excellent points! After I use up my Vit C Serum from DRMTLGY (even though I absolutely adore it!!), I dont think I'll be repurchasing it and instead will be using my Copper Peptides serum during the day and Tretinoin at night. Great tip! I want to streamline my routine so I figure I don't need more than one antioxidant, right?
I actually inject GHK-Cu which is known as a copper tripeptide. You reconstitute it and inject BUT you can also put it in skin creams or serums.
Love it! New sub here. Btw.
I think you're great!
I’ve been looking into the injection, where do you get it done? I’ve read many great things about GHK-Cu injections, I’m a licensed cosmetologist, and hairstylist, I’ve been using the topical 1% (the ordinary mixed with Biossance) on my hairline and it IS growing my hairline back! It’s been about 10 weeks and see more density in the corners of my hairline!!
@@KB-sf6nt
At the time I was purchasing online and injecting myself. I am not injecting at the moment but recently purchased a small vial of pure Copper Peptide to mix with a water based face cream. Only been using a few days but can already see a difference. That's amazing about your hairline! I never realized how much I needed it in my life! Lol
Your skin is absolutely glowing

How do you know the results other than simply plumping you are seeing are from copper peptides if you are using retinoids and other ingredients with proven results?
Ty you Robert. I had so many questions about this and you answered them all
Hi hun, I am so so glad the video was useful for you and thank you so much for watching. love xx
Hi Rob and everyone! Question: can I use vitamin C (or a derivative) together with peptides in my morning routine? If so, in which order? I do have a ph5.5 toner in case that is needed. Thanks!

I havent tried anything from the brand but I really need to as I have been hearing such good things.. let me know what you think of it when you have used it. love you xxxxx
Found it hard to fit it into a routine. Doesn’t play well with the Vit C serum I use in the AM; slightly irritating so didn’t want to layer after tretinoin at night. 🤷🏻♀️
Decided to put it on my saggy knees! 😂 I use the Ordinary brand so not too expensive.
I recommend suntanning on both sides for twenty mins per day per side...forty mins then get out of the sun..my god i could talk for hours on the benefits for your skin and overall health!!
Thank you Rob. I am curious to know, have you tried the Argireline in combo with Subq skin or Buffet ? Buffet contains Pentapeptide-18 which is claimed to target expression wrinkles that appear due to facial movements too and work in a synergistic way with Argireline...
Thanks again for such a great, informative video!!
I'm still not sure why people see The Ordinary Buffet plus CP as a cheaper dupe for CAIS. Even the Deciem staff say Hylamide SubQ skin is a much better copper product than the Buffet CP product - and it's cheaper.
Hi hun, I think this is a really good point and thats why I personally reach for the subq as a good dupe.. the price point varies so so much that sometimes the buffet + copper is cheaper than subq in some countries and not in others.. thank you for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
So I’ve been using Copper Peptides at nite on face before Tret & on neck under Retinal. Ugh, guess that’s been a waste of my $60 NIOD? Sometimes skincare makes me wanna cry! 😢
Oh I know the feeling as this sort of thing has happened to me before. in truch I still think you will have been getting value from it as there are also derms out there who say its fine to use with tret I think its one of those grey areas which is why I always go on the side of caution.. sending you lots of love xxxxxx
I don't think it's a, waste of time at all. I use mine both at night too. But I apply tretinoin first. Then the copper serum, then a touch of moisturiser. Seems to be going great so I'm not stopping. On the nights I don't use tretinoin I may use lactic acid or salicylic acid. Then I wait a few minutes and put the copper peptides on then.
Rob what about azelaic acid and copper peptides pairing is it ok?
Good question, would also like to know.
I hun, they are totally fine to use together as azelaic acid is not in a low PH :) love you xxxx
They are fine to use together Rita as azelaic lis not in a low PH.. love you so much xxxxx
7:33 Tretinoin is also an acid, which are not retinol and retinal. But many experts have conflicted views on this topic. It seems that Dr.Loren Pickard says that :
- Tretinoin on top of copper peptides supposedly pushes copper peptides deeper into the skin. (I guess it can be potentially irritating but this is what I personally do, the hardcore way, because I want to use peptides both mornings and evenings every day lol)
- Copper peptides on top of tretinoin will reduce irritation the tretinoin might cause. (I am not a fan of this since peptide serums are watery products and tretinoin is a cream).
I totally agree with you hun there is so much conflicting data out there on this one.. I personally air on the side of caution but I think this is something more studies should look into .. love you xxxxx
Which do you think would be more beneficial to use every morning, copper peptides or vitamin c?
I alternate retinol, lactic acid and vitamin c in the evening usually but i dont know if id be better off using the peptides in the evening and the vit c in the morning instead? Or should i stick to vit c at night and copper peptides in the morning?
I do exactly what you do. I use my copper peptide every morning and alternate Tretinoin, vitamin C, or glycolic acid and lactic acid 10% at night.
Ooooh thanks for that Chrissie, i'll carry on doing what im doing then x
Hi Rush, I would say if the routine you have now is working for you stick with it as its a great way of incorporating multiple actives.. I hope this helps and thank you so much for sharing .. love you xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin o
Hi Rob, so do you use CAIS one day the then SubQ the next? Also do you think just using copper peptides once a day is enough to get the benefits? I've nearly finished my 2nd bottle of The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides 1% and it's pretty good, but I feel like I want to put it on all the time! I use tretinoin at night and sometimes I still use the copper peptides with it. Perhaps I shouldn't, or would the 5.5 toner/serum buffer technique work with tret too?
Hi hun, the buffer would work with the tret as you say so thats one great solution.. I get great results using them once a day and I think this matches my skincare price point but of course you would get more from using them more frequently.. I use the NIOD one morning then the SubQ the next.. sending you lots of love xxxxxx

Copper is the metal associated with Venus and thusly, beauty - makes sense from an alchemical perspective that it would work wonders!
Thanks for watching and sharing x
Hello! I’ve been enjoying your content lately. In the evening I use a glycolic acid pad and follow with Isntree green tea toner and then NIOD CAIS. Would the toner buffer the acid enough so that my CAIS will be effective? I prefer to use the acid at night because it cleans and smooths my skin so well. Help!!! I don’t want to waste that expensive stuff.
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you for watching.. yes I think that toner would work perfectly and its one of my favourites.. sending you lots of love xxxxxxx

Hey Rob do u think you could use buffet with copper peptides with tretinoin if you use like marine hyluronics in between them. Love you ❤️
When the Ordinary had their big sale in November I really wanted to try the argireline/matrixyl Botox effect and since you were recommending copper peptides I got the buffet with them. Right now the only retinol I’m using is the Ordinary’s Granactive retinoids 2% (I’ve tried their other retinoids but my skin was all meh give me back the other! Currently I’m using the A/M combo in the am (after cleanse & toner) and the buffet in the pm. Because you’ve mentioned there might be a problem with a retinoid/copper peptide I cleanse, retinoid, toner, buffet, moisturizer…. But even before I separated them I noticed a positive difference within a month! I was pretty skeptical tho. Perhaps I’ll bring back the cosrx snail mucin? So far this winter the 2 things that I see making my skin better are the copper + peptides and the supplement Helio ( not sure if you can get this in the UK?). The supplement took about 2.5 bottles to start showing a difference (I was gonna give up on it but instead bought another bottle). Thanks to you videos I’m discovering new skincare that doesn’t break the bank!
What changes have you noticed using heliocare? And did the argireline/matrixyl work for you?
I like the cosrx snail mucin, too
Have you considered making a video on zero waste or sustainable skincare that is up to your standard?

Really informative as always but any chance of discussing some other copper peptide serums from other brands? Niod is AMAZING but there must be companies other than Deciem making this stuff.......right?? 🙏🏻
Hi hun, I do think when it comes to copper peptides Deciem have the best predicts but I did call out Face Theory which I think are on a par and if you want to go super drugstore I would suggest Revolution skincare which has an amazing serum :) I will leave some more recommendations in the description box for people looking for some alternative.. love you xxxxx

I use The Ordinary Buffet + copper peptides every other morning. I use an essence before but no other actives at that time. I have noticed after awhile my face & chest start itching although there is no redness or rash. Does this happen to anyone else?

Can I use copper peptide with vitamin c the ordinary suspense??
I've been on tazorac for several years for acne, and I'm just wondering if you've seen research about how it plays with Copper Peptides? It's a prescription retinoid, but it's stronger and a different chemical than Retin-A (for example, doesn't become less effective when used in sunlight, etc.)
I've been using copper peptides with tazorac for six months now (applied at night obviously, peptides first, wait a bit, then tazorac). I've had no irritation. Skin hasn't changed that month, so maybe the peptide is denatured, but other people out there in YT land use the same combo w/o issue.
Can you recommend something else beside Geek and Gorgeous Stress Less Serum then I layers peptide with vitamins C and other active ingredients? I live in the states and can afford to pay the international shipping. Please and Thank you

Recently tried the Biossance CP and my skin immediately felt dry afterwards. Returned it and am now using CAIS and so far liking it for dry, dehydrated winter skin.
Can you mix the SubQ with the CAIS to use less of the CAIS?
I would also be interested in this answer … 😊
I wouldn't advise it... the CAIS utilizes a particular technology that's meant to work in synergy with its own formulation. What you can do is just use them on alternate days.
Hi hun, I know some people who do but I wouldn't as I worry it would disrupt the technology in the CAIS.. how I do it is alternate with different mornings which makes the CAIS go so much further.. love you xxxxx

I...just...can't...decide if they're worth it or not.
I used up several The Ordinary Buffet+copper peptides and one small NIOD CAIS, and I'm not sure if I notice results or not.
The NIOD is impractically water-like to the point I dread putting it on. I think I will splurge on the full ounce and sort of hope I don't like it. The price borderline gives me anxiety.
So much for enhoying your routine!
I always feel like I’m losing product in my hands because the texture is so water-like…I completely understand
Oh I totally agree with you on the NIOD one I think the texture makes it really difficult to apply to the skin and the risk of wastage at that price point is not the good feeling lol.. Thank you for sharing and I hope all is amazing with you xxxx
