To use peptides effectively, apply them after your cleanser and toner. Layer your peptide serum across your entire face, neck and décolletage and seal in its skin-renewing benefits with a moisturiser, oil or SPF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCan I use peptides with other skincare actives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eYes, you can use peptides alongside other skincare actives, such as retinol, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. Peptides work particularly well with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing ingredients like niacinamide. To enhance skin recovery and support, apply retinol first, followed by a peptide serum. Always perform a patch test when introducing new products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHow should I layer my skincare when using peptides?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTo get the most out of your peptide-based products, apply them after cleansing and toning but before creams and oils. During the day, a typical sequence might be a cleanser, toner, peptide serum, moisturiser and SPF. In the evening, you can follow up with a richer cream or oil to lock in the peptides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHow long does it take to see results from using peptides on my skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eYou may see noticeable results from peptides within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use, seeing improvements in skin texture and hydration. However, for more significant benefits, such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it may take up to 12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAre peptides suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePeptides are generally safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, consult your healthcare provider before adding any new skincare products to your routine, especially if they contain other active ingredients like retinol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat precautions should I keep in mind when using peptides on my skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhile peptides are gentle and suitable for most skin types, introduce them gradually into your routine, particularly when using them with other actives like retinol or acids. Always perform a patch test first, and if irritation occurs, reduce usage or consult a dermatologist. Don’t forget to apply SPF during the day to protect your skin, as peptides work to repair and renew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat peptides do your products contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhile peptides vary by product, we carefully create each formula to provide the optimal concentration for your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.medik8.com.au\/products\/oxy-r-peptides\"\u003eOxy-R Peptides\u003c\/a\u003e serum features Acetyl Glycyl Beta-Alanine — a brightening solution — to block the transport of melanin to the skin cells.
