Not sure it's right for your skin? Four questions — Daddy will tell you.
Peptides are instructions. Short chains of amino acids that tell skin to firm up, hold together, and act younger than it is — and at 2% hexapeptide-11 plus dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, PEPTIDE ONE carries the message at a strength that shows.
This is the anti-age serum the rest of the routine builds on. The peptides smooth and firm and give skin back its plumpness; hyaluronic acid holds the hydration that makes fine lines read shallower; organic blueberry seed oil and 1% ginkgo cover the antioxidant defense against everything that ages skin faster. The texture is light and fast — it goes on before your cream, layers under anything, and leaves skin smoother, firmer, and more refined over the weeks you actually use it.
The message, delivered. Skin that reads younger for it.
What it does
- Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Restores plumpness and supports elasticity
- Smooths and refines the complexion
- Antioxidant protection from blueberry seed oil and ginkgo
What is in it
- Hexapeptide-11
At 2%. A signalling peptide used for firmness and the look of fine lines — the reason this is a treatment and not a moisturiser.
- Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline
An amino-acid derivative that works on firmness alongside the peptide. Slow, cumulative, unglamorous.
- Ginkgo biloba leaf extract
At 1%. Antioxidant and circulatory support, sitting under the peptides.
- Blueberry seed oil
Organic, antioxidant-rich. Protects the peptides it sits beside.
- Strawberry seed oil
Light, fast-absorbing, high in linoleic acid. Keeps a serum a serum.
- Aloe leaf juice
Used as the water phase rather than as a claim. Hydrating and calming from the first ingredient down.
- Hyaluronic acid
Humectant; pulls water into the upper layers and holds it there, so skin reads plump rather than merely damp. Used here at multiple molecular weights so it works at more than one depth.
- Sodium PCA
Part of skin's own natural moisturising factor. Replaces what washing takes out, and keeps the hydration from evaporating off again.
How to use
Morning and evening, on clean skin, before cream. Three or four drops pressed across face and neck. Under HELIOS in the morning, SOMNUS or REGNUM at night; add JUVENTAS or GUARD at the eye. The core of the EQUINOX, THE TRINITY, ELYSIUM and CATENA sets.
Peptides are just instructions telling your skin to get its act together. This one says it at 2%, loud enough that your face listens. Daddy keeps it at the front of the drawer — everything else works better once this has gone on first.
