"This is the blue that you would expect from a true copper peptide serum that has a good concentration of copper peptides in it. That one will come in at about $140 right now with Black Friday. So, a bit on the expensive side currently. Nice formula, but expensive."

"I've been using their copper peptides probably for three years now. I love that product. The formulas are outstanding. I think they bring something unique to the table. There's so many copper peptide serums out there, but theirs is really stellar. Of the one I use the most frequently, it would be the copper peptide."

"If you want a good copper peptide, I do like the one from Allies of Skin. Unfortunately, this is very expensive. It's kind of ridiculous how expensive it is."

The Ultimate Summer Skincare Routine

"There are some really interesting combinations of ingredients in this formula like allantoin, like basobalol, like glutathione, like ergoionine. They also have this algae extract that I really like, and algaes are very powerful antioxidants because of the environment that they live in, and so they also can have profound benefits on the skin. And then they have a slew of different peptides in this one, so this one is really super formulated. The price point on this, if you had a problem with skincare prices, you will have a problem with this. They're nearing $200 per product. However, they are top tier in terms of innovation, formulation, and aesthetics."

THE BEST HYDRATING SERUMS | DOCTORLY UNSPONSORED REVIEWS

"This is a copper tripeptide and ectoin advanced repair serum. Ectoin is really where you're getting that hydration from. You're also getting some other hydrating ingredients in this formula as well. But you also get that compounded effect of the cetal hexapeptide aka giralene. And you also have two forms of different copper peptides in this formula. It's a beautiful blue serum and it's super hydrating. It's a super hydrating formula. Plus, it's delivering those copper peptides into the skin. The only real holdup from recommending it more often would probably be the price point. I think it's a little bit expensive. Very expensive I would argue. If this wasn't so expensive, I definitely would recommend it more often."

"I really like this product. I think it is a great peptide product. They're using a 2% copper lysinate complex, which is actually a complex of amino acids that really help to support the skin, skin hydration, skin barrier, and it can help to improve the signs of aging including skin density and firmness. They're also using a 2% complex of acetyl hexapeptide 8, which is a Botox peptide. It actually helps to give a really nice effect to the skin to lift and firm it pretty quickly. It is important to understand that this peptide though is not a collagen stimulating peptide. It's not actually changing the structure of skin in any way whatsoever. So it's not going to meaningfully treat fine lines, wrinkles, or be a preventative type of peptide."

"This is the Allies of Skin Copper Tripeptide and Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. It is wildly expensive and was gifted to me by the brand, but I have been happy with the results, and it has a really nice refreshing gel texture that makes it nice for summer mornings, which is why I have stuck with it consistently."

"This is the first time I've taken a break from using Neat's copper peptides to use another copper peptide serum from Allies of Skin, their Copper Tripeptide + Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. I don't think it's a replacement, I do think it's different though. I also like the texture, it is bouncy, it's pretty substantial, which makes it really nice, especially in the drier months because you really feel like it's got some skin plumping hydration. There's also just a really nice bouncy slip to it during application which I enjoy. It's quite lipid, feels quite moisturizing, and it does sit on the skin, it's kind of somewhere in between."

My Gold-Standard Well-Aging Routine - PM, Peptides, Retinoids

"I've tried so many different copper peptide formulas that have come out but none that I actually feel even compares to the cis-3 or at least enough so that I would replace it in my routine until now from Allies of Skin their Copper Tripeptide + Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. This is different in many ways from the cis-3 so it's not like I will be replacing one for the other but I'm really enjoying using this right now. This is full of age defensive peptides. In my experience this has also been really fast acting with skin that is very sensitive. The texture has the kind of viscosity to it that I really love so when you're applying it on your skin there is some slip and a little bit does go a long way. It is so hydrating and comforting. Other than the different copper peptides and amino acids also contain ectoin which is really great at protecting the skin as well as facilitating repair. This also has 2% airene which works on smoothing any kind of fine lines or wrinkles. This is also okay to use in the same routine as retinoids they're very complimentary in fact you can even use this in the same routine as ascorbic acid as long as you give just a little bit of wait time between using the two formulas like five minutes."

"The one that I really love is the Allies of Skin copper tripeptide and ectoin advanced repair serum. I really like this because it has the ectoin, which is like a stress molecule, so not only does it help to protect and shield the skin from pollution, but it also aids in skin repair and it also provides hydration as well. This serum is very hydrating, I find this to be quite plumping as well. It really makes a big difference if your skin is feeling tight and it's dry, but at the same time, longterm, it really firms and gives more of this youthful appearance to the skin. There's also a hexapeptide-8 complex in here, which helps to aid in skin repair as well. I find this to be quite advanced when it comes to the formulation and the ingredients that are in here."

BEST ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS FOR COLLAGEN STIMULATION & FIRMER SKIN | PRO- LEVEL RESULTS

"The 2% ectoin helps to protect the skin from the environment, so it protects your skin from pollution, but also it's very hydrating as well. And there's a lot of other ingredients in here that you don't find in other serums. This is one of my favorites. I really like this one for morning. Sometimes I will use this at night time. I'm very careful on how I use copper peptides because there's a lot of ingredients that can conflict with the copper ingredient, and then it just won't be as effective on the skin. So I usually only pair this up with growth factors or other peptide serums, or sometimes I will even use this with a vitamin C derivative in my morning skincare routine. But usually this is like the star of the show and I just love this so much."

"This is a very firming serum. And this is also very hydrating. It doesn't peel with skincare products. It layers up nicely with other peptide serums, other hydrating repairing products. It is a friendly product that pairs up nicely with a lot of things including sunscreen, including makeup because it is a product that can be used twice a day if you wish. This has 2% ectoin, which is an ingredient that is a stress molecule. This is going to protect your skin and repair it from pollution. It's going to help strengthen, keep that skin barrier nice and protected and strong. There's also a 2% acetylhexeptide 8 which is a powerful peptide. There's also a 2% copper lysinate complex which is an amino acid complex that helps to firm and also help with skin density. There's also 1% copper tripeptide, so that's that lovely copper ingredient that helps to stimulate collagen as well."

"I also quite enjoy the Allies of Skin Copper Tripeptide and Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. I actually just started using this one not long ago, and this is also really impressive. This one is a little bit more advanced than the ordinary one in my opinion. This one has an ingredient called ectoin in it. And ectoin is a hydrating repairing ingredient. So, not only does copper peptides help with skin repair, so does ectoin, but then there's a lot of humectants in here. And I really love this serum a lot."

THE TRUTH ABOUT COLLAGEN BANKING | WHY IT'S THE NEW ANTI-AGING TREND - BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE 2025

"This is the copper tripeptide and ectoin advanced repair serum. So, this one actually has a 2% ectoin ingredient and this ingredient is actually quite popular this year as well. It's been trending and it's a very hydrating repairing ingredient. I find this to be a very repairing serum. So, if you do have that compromised skin barrier, it's feeling a little angry or you're just lacking hydration, you have dry skin, this is wonderful to use. But copper peptides are way better than regular peptides in my opinion and from my experience with the two. And I love a good serum that has a copper peptide along with additional peptides. And this one is one of my favorites because of that reason, but also I just love how hydrating and plumping this serum is. This is outstanding and a lovely serum for signs of aging and stimulating collagen. This is very firming. I feel like copper peptides are really firming to the skin."

"The allies of skin copper peptides, normally I wouldn't spend this much on skin care, but I've gone through many, many bottles, which I bought time and time again because I really, really love the formula. In here again, you've got those copper peptides. You've got other beneficial ingredients like ectoin, you've got a plethora of other peptides. But in here, you've got advanced technology which actually helps the penetration of those copper peptides and helps them to be targeted to where they're going to deliver maximum results. So, it just means that none of those copper peptides go to waste. They get to exactly where they need to be in the skin in order to deliver maximum and quicker results. Yes, this comes with a really high price point, but you're paying for the speed of results. This will deliver and start to deliver those anti-aging benefits, more collagen, firming, and lifting in about a month. The rest of the products I talked about today, you're looking at two to three months before you start seeing those results. So, if you've got patience, you can save a whole lot of money. But if you want quick wins, you want advanced technology, which really directs those copper peptides to where they're going to deliver maximum results, Allies of Skin is where it's at. And for me, I think it's worth it if your budget stretches to it."

Next Generation Botox In A Bottle - BEST PEPTIDE SERUMS 2026

"This is the Allies of Skin Copper Tripeptide and Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. This has so many different peptides in alongside that advanced copper peptide. And you've also got Ectoin, which is great at boosting the barrier function of the skin, minimizing sensitivity and irritation. This is a powerhouse serum, which I was really skeptical of when I first tried it because the price point is up there. If I'm paying top dollar, I want to get top dollar results. And I did from this. It's calming, soothing, barrier boosting, anti-aging. It does a whole lot. And that's why I'm talking about it being an advanced serum that you can almost use as a three-in-one: calming, soothing, barrier boosting, and anti-aging. I love it. But again, that price point isn't going to be for everyone, and that's okay."

ANTI AGING SECRET WEAPON - Ultimate Evening Skincare Routine

"The Allies of Skin Copper Tripeptide + Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum is like copper peptide up about 10 notches because the form of copper peptides it uses is very advanced. You've got all peptides alongside that, and ectoin is great for calming, soothing, and healing the skin. You've got so much in here. It doesn't come at the most affordable price point, so I'll call that out and there are more affordable options out there, but I think this is honestly one of the best copper peptides that I've ever tried. I'd say it's a 10 out of 10."

2X FIRMER SKIN (FAST) - Best Copper Peptide Serums 2025

"I've now gone through three bottles of this, I got the first one in PR and then I bought two with my own coin subsequently because I loved it that much. You are paying top dollar for it, but you're getting a lot for that. Ectoin is one of the best calming, soothing, and barrier-supporting ingredients, so that's really going to help dial back any inflammation or sensitivity that you have. It's got a great blend of copper peptides in a 2% concentration but also a great range of other peptides too to really advance the anti-aging cause. There are so many ingredients in here which are going to boost the barrier function of the skin and help repair it. If your skin might have gone through it in winter, maybe it's a little chapped, a little dry, or a little bit more sensitivity-prone than usual, this is the sort of product that will not only give you a massive boost to anti-aging but also heal your skin barrier at the same time. That for me is a winner. If you're somebody that is very sensitivity-prone and whose skin is really going through it at the moment, I think this would be a wonderful investment to repair and advance the anti-aging cause."

COPPER PEPTIDES - This Serum Delivers 2X Firmer Skin (New Studies)

"I got so many great results from this serum. I don't think necessarily I need to push to paying out for this higher price point for someone like myself that's approaching 40, needing some extra anti-aging and wanting some more advanced technology in their copper peptides. This was doing it for me and definitely delivered over the ordinary. However, I think if you're somebody that is either pre-, during, or post-menopausal in terms of your skin profile, this could genuinely be a game changer. If you're looking to increase the density of the skin, calm and soothe any menopausal-related inflammation and sensitivity, this could be a really great option. My relative that tried it out said their skin was like night and day before and after using it, and the results came really quickly after just two weeks, which is phenomenal. For a very specific subset of people, I think it could be worth stretching your budget for this option, but for most people, I think this could be the very best anti-aging copper peptide out there."

"I did a video where I isolated and tested this product for 8 to 12 weeks because I wanted to see if it delivered on its claims. And by golly, it did. And I have the photos to prove it. I apply a pump or two and then I pat it into my skin and I just let it do its magic. This is all about soothing and strengthening. It contains a 2% ectoin and a copper tripeptide complex that not only deeply moisturizes and helps my skin retain moisture, it also provides antioxidant protection against daily damage. In other words, it's kind of telling my skin to chill out and recover. Plus, it contains an ingredient called saccharide isomerate, which has been proven to improve the thickness of menopausal skin by 15%."
