Renewal Cream

After serum, smooth a small amount over face and neck, morning and/or evening.

Renewal Cream is a copper peptide face cream with Copper Tripeptide-1 + Acetyl Octapeptide-3, for skin that feels smoother and firmer.

Smooth a little over your face and neck, once or twice a day. Pair it with our Smooth Line Serum in the Face Pair, R1,395.

Made with Acetyl Octapeptide-3, a peptide used for softer-looking fine lines around the eyes and forehead. 1% copper peptide and 0.1% Acetyl Octapeptide-3, measured as peptide powder by weight.

Our peptide renewal cream puts two well-known cosmetic peptides in one 50 g jar: Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Octapeptide-3. They're set in a cushiony base of shea butter and squalane, so skin is left feeling soft and cared for, morning or night.

This is a face and neck cream built around two peptides with different jobs. Copper Tripeptide-1 is included for skin that feels smoother and firmer, with more bounce. Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is a peptide used for softer-looking fine lines around the eyes and forehead.

The texture is richer than our serums, which makes it a good fit for drier skin, cooler months or a comforting final step. Unlike our 1% face cream, this formula contains a light "Ocean" fragrance blend, so it is not fragrance-free.

For background on each peptide, read our guides to Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and copper peptides.

• Copper tripeptide-1: the copper peptide, for a complexion that feels smoother and firmer.
• Acetyl octapeptide-3: a cosmetic peptide used for softer-looking fine lines around the eyes and forehead.
• Shea butter and squalane: emollients that give the cream its cushioned, nourished finish.
• Glycerin: a humectant that helps skin hold on to moisture and look plumper.
• Panthenol and allantoin: conditioning ingredients that help skin feel calm and comfortable.
• Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E): a conditioning antioxidant ingredient in the base.

A particularly good match for skin that looks mature, dry, tired or dull. Choose it if fine lines around the eyes and forehead are your main focus, or if you want a richer cream to finish your routine. If you'd rather avoid fragrance, our Daily Copper Cream is the fragrance-free option. As with any new product, patch test first.

1. Cleanse, then pat your skin dry.
2. Smooth a small amount over your face and neck.
3. Use it once or twice a day, in the morning, at night or both.
4. If you apply it in the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Keep it away from the eyes and stop using it if your skin becomes irritated.

• Serum underneath: for a lighter layer first, apply the Intensive Serum or the Smooth Line Serum, let it absorb, then follow with this cream.

What does Acetyl Octapeptide-3 do in a cream?

Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is a cosmetic peptide used for softer-looking fine lines around the eyes and forehead. Our Acetyl Octapeptide-3 guide covers the published research and how Acetyl Octapeptide-3 compares with Argireline.

Is this cream fragrance-free?

No. It contains a light "Ocean" fragrance blend (listed as Fragrance). For a fragrance-free copper peptide cream, choose the Daily Copper Cream.

Morning or night?

Either, or both: the directions are once or twice a day. In the daytime, always finish with sunscreen.

Can I use it with a copper peptide serum?

Yes. Apply the serum first and the cream on top. Our Skincare Set bundles this cream with the 2% serum.

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.
