Should I choose the 1% or the 2% serum?
The 2% serum has our highest copper peptide percentage, with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate. The 1% serum has five peptides in one blend that helps soften the appearance of fine lines.
Why is the serum blue?
The colour comes from the copper in Copper Tripeptide-1. It shows that copper is present, not how much peptide is in the product. That's why we give the copper peptide percentage, measured as peptide powder by weight.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes. Use it morning and evening before moisturiser, and apply sunscreen during the daytime.
What does "measured as peptide powder by weight" mean?
It tells you how the percentage on the label is calculated: the weight of peptide powder as a share of the formula's total weight.
Can I use the serum and cream together?
Yes. Apply the serum to clean skin, then the cream. That's exactly what the Skincare Set and Face Pair are built for.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes.
Do you deliver for free?
SA delivery is free on orders from R1,500. Below that, a flat R135 applies.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes: choose Payflex at checkout to pay in 4 interest-free payments.
Does it contain fragrance?
There is no added fragrance. If your skin reacts easily, patch test before use and introduce one new product at a time.
