What 'oligopeptide' means here

'Oligo' means few — an oligopeptide is a short peptide, a small chain of amino acids. On a label this one reads simply as Oligopeptide-1. It's a contemporary cosmetic active, produced by modern biotech methods and formulated into a lightweight, well-mannered serum.

Because it's short and water-friendly, it makes for a fresh, fast-absorbing feel — the kind of serum that disappears into skin and leaves a clean, dewy finish.

The renewal-and-glow angle

This is the serum to reach for when the goal is a fresh, luminous, even-toned look. It's used cosmetically to support that glow-forward appearance — a healthy, dewy finish rather than a matte one — as part of a considered routine.

It pairs beautifully with the brightening companion in this collection, Nonapeptide-1, and slots in alongside firming peptides used at other steps.

How to use it

External use only. Smooth a few drops over clean skin, morning and/or evening, before moisturizer. During the day, follow with sunscreen as the last step. Patch-test on the inner arm before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs. Store cool and out of direct sun.
