Flash Freeze Firming Peptide Concentrate Serum

A concentrated peptide serum for skin that is starting to look less firm, with fine lines, crepiness or uneven texture. It is built around three peptide complexes, two of them encapsulated, alongside diamond powder and resveratrol: a firming complex, a plumping complex that supports the skin's own hyaluronic acid, and an expression line complex for the lines that form around the eyes and forehead. Formerly called Freeze Frame Peptide Serum Concentrate.

The texture is a silky serum that absorbs quickly and layers easily under moisturiser. Menthyl lactate gives a brief cooling tingle as it goes on, which fades quickly. In the brand's 12-week independent study of people aged 35 to 70, 91% said skin texture looked smoother and 85% saw skin that looked plumper.

Best for

Fine lines, loss of firmness, crepey-looking skin and uneven texture. It sits comfortably alongside retinoids and exfoliating acids. If your skin is sensitive or reactive, patch test first.

How to use

Apply to clean skin morning or night, after any water-based toners or essences, and smooth over the face and neck. Follow with moisturiser, and SPF in the morning. If you use it once a day, the morning works best.

Key ingredients

Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 and a trio of encapsulated peptides work on the look of firmness and expression lines. Prolyl hydroxyproline and copper lysinate/prolinate support a smoother, more elastic look. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin hydrate and plump, squalane softens, and resveratrol adds antioxidant support.
