How to use
Use AM and/or PM, after cleansing and before applying your moisturizer.
1. Dispense an adequate amount of serum into clean hands—typically one drop per cheek, two on the forehead, two on the neck area, and one on the chin. A little goes a long way.
2. Gently rub the serum into the skin, covering the face and neck
3. Allow it to fully absorb before applying any other products on top.
4. Important: Do not apply this serum at the same time as products containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), due to:
pH Incompatibility:
Ascorbic acid works best at a low pH (2.5–3.5) to penetrate the skin effectively
Copper peptides function optimally at a higher pH (around 5–7) to remain stable and bioactive
Oxidation & Instability:
When combined simultaneously, Vitamin C can reduce copper ions, destabilizing the peptide and degrading the vitamin C
This may lead to loss of efficacy of both ingredients
Potential Irritation from combining actives
5. To get the benefits of this serum with vitamin C serums and products:
Use Vitamin C (e.g. Optoderm’s Vitamin C FPB) in the morning (AM) – Antioxidant protection, protects against UV damage and brightens skin
Use the Copper Peptide Serum in the evening – Boosts overnight repair and collagen remodelling. Alternating or layering (with proper time spacing) ensures continuous skin rejuvenation. It is important not to add them together at the same time, but spacing them 20 minutes apart
6. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen if used in the morning.
Results: With consistent use, expect visible improvements in elasticity and reduced fine lines in 4–8 weeks.
