Peptides are the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin, such as collagen and elastin. So using a skincare product that contains them can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin and fewer breakouts.
They’re particularly good for those with sensitive skin as an alternative to retinol, which can cause dryness and irritation. One of the best peptide serums on the market is the Liquid Peptides from Medik8, and it’s just been reduced from £49 to £39.20.
Formulated with no fewer than 10 peptides in a 30 per cent blend, it works to both slow and prevent the visible formation of expression lines and deep wrinkles. It also features drone-targeted technology to support the skin’s natural age-defying functions.

For enhanced age-defying results, you can also use the Advance Night Restore Cream, currently on offer at £47.20 at Medik8. The serum has a 4.8 rating out of 670 reviews.
A very satisfied shopper wrote: “I’m now on my third bottle and am pleased to say I can see visible results. Lovely on the skin and soaks in quickly – wouldn’t be without it now.”

“Couldn’t be without this fabulous product. Does exactly what it says – plumps, hydrates and minimises fine lines and wrinkles,” another added, while a third commented: “I love this, my skin is clear and glowing.”
Although a good product overall according to the reviews, some customers reported that it wasn’t suitable for combination and oily skin: “I have combination skin and it clogged pores. Unfortunately, I had to stop using it although it leaves my skin moisturised and plump.”
