Question 1

Can I use Copper PCA Peptides while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. As general guidance, the product does not contain any ingredients which we would recommend to avoid during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.

Question 2

When and how should I use Copper PCA Peptides?

Accepted Answer

Copper PCA Peptides can be used both morning and evening. After cleansing in the morning, apply a small amount to the face, neck and decolletage, then follow with sunscreen. After cleansing in the evening, apply as you would in the morning and follow with a moisturiser.

Question 3

Can I use Copper PCA Peptides alongside vitamin A formulas?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In fact, we recommend it as part of our pioneering CSA Philosophy which champions Vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night as the simple secret to glowing, youthful-looking skin. Use Copper PCA Peptides as a Vitamin C substitute if your skin is sensitive to Vitamin C.

If you're looking for a plant-based alternative to vitamin A, try our Bakuchiol Peptides Serum. This formula delivers targeted results and is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Question 4

Can I use Copper PCA Peptides alongside vitamin C formulas?

Accepted Answer

As a general rule, we don't recommend using Copper PCA Peptides alongside Vitamin C, as the copper PCA and vitamin C may react by way of cancelling out each other's efficacy as an antioxidant. We recommend using Copper PCA Peptides as a substitute for vitamin C within your daily routine — not as well as.

Question 5

How do I incorporate Copper PCA Peptides 30ml into my skincare routine?

Accepted Answer

Apply it after cleansing in the morning and evening. Release one dose from each pump onto the back of your hand then mix the two together. Gently massage the product across your face and neck using light upward strokes. Allow it to absorb fully before following with your moisturiser to lock in hydration. Follow up with sun protection in the morning.

Always do a patch test with any new skincare product before full use. This step reduces the chance of reactions, which is especially important for sensitive skin.

Question 6

How long does it take to see results from using Copper PCA Peptides?

Accepted Answer

Peptides may begin to improve skin texture and hydration within two to four weeks of consistent use, though more visible changes, like the reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, may take up to 12 weeks.

Everyone's skin is unique, so results may vary depending on your skin type and individual reactions. Sticking to a regular routine is key for the best results.

Question 7

Are there any other ingredients I should avoid when using copper peptides?

Accepted Answer

Besides vitamin C, direct acids, such as salicylic acid (BHA) and glycolic acid (AHA), should generally not be used in the same routine as copper peptides. These hydroxy acids are strong exfoliants and may break down peptide bonds, reducing their effects.

To get the most out of both ingredients, we recommend using hydroxy acids and copper peptides at separate times. For example, apply BHA in the morning and peptides in the evening or alternate them on different nights. This approach helps protect your skin from potential irritation and ensures both ingredients remain effective.

Question 8

How should I layer the copper peptides serum if I am using other serums in my routine?

Accepted Answer

As a general guideline, serums should be applied from thinnest to thickest in texture. Start with water-based serums, then follow with richer, oil-based formulas. If your copper peptides serum is lightweight, it should be applied early in your routine, just after cleansing and toning.

Introduce new serums into your routine gradually to give your skin time to adjust. This means starting with just a few applications per week and increasing frequency only if your skin shows no signs of irritation.

Question 9

How is this copper peptide serum different from Medik8's other peptide serums?

Accepted Answer

All Medik8 peptide serums are designed to support firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Copper PCA Peptides serum, specifically, not only delivers age-defying peptide technology but also provides broad-spectrum protection against free radical damage.

Copper PCA Peptides is an ideal choice for those with sensitivities to vitamin C. Liquid Peptides serves as a versatile, all-in-one serum that targets multiple signs of ageing with precision peptide technology. For a more intensive option, consider Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, a next-generation formula powered by a complex of 13 advanced peptides.
