• Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, deluxe sample

A considered approach to visible signs of ageing

Liquid Peptides Advanced MP features Dual MiniProteins™ technology to help smooth expression lines and support firmer-looking skin over time. Crystal Retinal 6 contains stabilised retinaldehyde to help refine the appearance of wrinkles, uneven texture and discolouration. Finish with Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream for nourishing, collagen-supporting care and a more resilient-looking complexion.

Evidence behind the formulas

Liquid Peptides Advanced MP was independently clinically tested on 34 participants at 10 minutes and eight weeks, supporting expression-line improvement and longer-term improvement in deep-set wrinkles. The supplied Crystal Retinal 6 study, conducted on 33 participants over 12 weeks, reported a 20% reduction in visible wrinkles and a 20% reduction in visible hyperpigmentation.

The supplied 45% increase in collagen production for Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream comes from an ex vivo study, not a clinical measurement of collagen increase in people. These studies concern the individual products, not the kit as a whole.

How to use

After cleansing, apply Liquid Peptides Advanced MP across the face, neck and décolletage and allow to absorb. In the evening, follow with 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal 6 over the face and neck. Allow to absorb, then finish with Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream using upward strokes. In the morning, use the peptide serum and cream without Crystal Retinal.

If new to vitamin A, introduce Crystal Retinal gradually: twice weekly for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then nightly as tolerated. Always use sunscreen the next morning. Medik8 recommends using at least one tube of your current strength before moving to the next strength. Surface Radiance Cleanse is a suggested companion and is not included. Packaging may vary by region.
