"The In Beauty Project Elastic Skin Firming and Plumping Growth Factor Serum is amazing. The second you apply it, your skin instantly looks plump, plumper, and with long-term use, it also helps to firm skin up as well. It's got kind of a lotiony texture to it. A little bit goes a long way. It feels a little bit like snail mucin on skin, and it's really nice because it's got that wild yam extract, which is called vegan snail mucin. It's got copper peptides in here. It's got a plant-based peptide that improves skin density as well as elasticity. It's got a peptide which provides collagen elastin support deep down in skin. It's also got another peptide which helps promote elastin production deep down in skin. It's got beta glucan as well as ceramides. It's just so wonderful. No scent, no fragrance. I really enjoy this brand."

Which Peptides Do You Need in Your Skincare for Anti-Aging? Top Peptides for Wrinkles
"This is the In Beauty Project Elastic Skin Firming and Plumping Growth Factor Serum, which actually contains vegan snail mucin, which is really nice. I think it's yam root. So if you are vegan and don't like snail mucin, or you're allergic to snail mucin because some people can be, this is a really nice option. It's great, it's got a nice plumping effect and it's great for soothing and barrier repair. It's got kind of a goopy texture to it. Doesn't that texture remind you of a snail mucin serum? It does, because it's so hydrating and kind of goopy. I don't know how else to describe it."

"Another product, the In Beauty Project Elastic Skin Firming and Plumping Growth Factor Serum. I really enjoy this one, and if it's 20% off, that's even better. I think I got this at regular price, but it's a really nice brand and this is a really nice serum. The packaging is nice, it's got good ingredients, there's no scent to it. I really enjoy it. If you're vegan, it's a nice alternative to snail mucin."

"I just absolutely love this formulation. This is definitely more advanced than The Ordinary in my opinion because it contains more ingredients to improve the skin. This is great for all skin types, but if you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or let's say you're someone that really loves that deep hydration, that plumper, bouncier looking skin, then you're going to absolutely love this. It has peptides as well as copper peptides. These types of peptides help to firm the skin promoting collagen as well as preventing and treating fine lines and wrinkles. This also contains vegan collagen amino acids as well as ceramides to help strengthen and repair that skin barrier. It also has encapsulated vegan growth factors. There's beta glucan in here as well as centella asiatica and phyto mucin. This has a very similar texture and consistency as snail mucin, but this is vegan. There's no snail secretion in here, but it has that same type of texture where it looks like slime, but I promise you it's not real slime. It honestly feels so nice on the skin, especially when you need that hydration."

8 ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS I'M LOVING FOR 2024 | FACIAL MISTS & MORE | Sincerely Miss Ash
"If you're looking for a nice hydrating plumping serum that helps to rejuvenate the skin then I would say look into this. It has a nice pump, you can purchase a refill once you're finished, and you are getting 30 mls of product. I've paired this up with retinol, with other types of peptides, I did use this with vitamin C a handful of times in my morning routine, I've never experienced paling, and everything layered up so nicely."
ULTIMATE ANTI-AGING SERUM - INNBEAUTY PROJECT ELASTIC SKIN SERUM REVIEW | BETTER THAN SNAIL MUCIN!
"I used it consistently in my morning routine and then I switched it up and used it in my nighttime routine. I didn't see anything about conflicts with this product, so I paired it up with anything and everything. I was using this with truth serum, copper peptides, regular peptides, vitamin C, and honestly this layered and paired up nicely with everything I used with it. There was absolutely no pilling, especially when I got to my moisturization stage, my sunscreen, and my makeup. Everything was just layering so nicely. There's 30 mLs of product here, it comes with a nice pump, and you can purchase a refill as well, so you can keep the packaging and just take this off, put the new one in, and off you go. The more consistent you are with this, the better off you'll be, especially in terms of seeing results in the anti-aging department. We're all going to see results differently, you might see quicker results than I do, but the hydration, the plumpness, it's definitely there, and I can't wait to continue using this because I truly believe this is going to work to firm because it has the peptides in here, the growth factors, it's all going to do a really nice job to improve the overall look and texture of our skin. This has that same type of snail mucin texture, it looks very slimy, but when it's on the skin it's not slimy."

"It's called Elastic Skin and it retails for $46. Definitely probably the most affordable product that we're talking about today. This is a vegan derived product formulation that contains growth factors along with other ingredients that helps to visibly lift firm and help to deeply hydrate the skin. And I really enjoy the hydrating nature. It's definitely more of a bouncy serum if you will. It hydrates. There is a slight residue a little bit of a more because of the hydrating nature, so if you don't enjoy any sort of texture on your skin or the residual feel this may not be the best for you, but certainly is a great product for its price. It can easily layer with your retinol or use it as a standalone product. It is designed to support skin barrier health, to visibly firm, and help with anti-aging and skin rejuvenation goals. The ingredients include 6% copper and biohacking peptides that help with visibly lift and support collagen production along with 6% growth factors."

"The In Beauty Project Elastic Skin Serum is a more affordable option for 42 bucks and it has encapsulated vegan growth factors at 6%, it also has copper and biohacking peptides. Copper peptides help with anti-inflammatory effects and help with the aging process. Just don't use this in the same routine as your ascorbic acid. You can probably use it with Ester vitamin C, so if you're using an active vitamin C use this at night and use the active vitamin C in the morning. This one also has no fragrance and it does contain HA as well. It has a light periwinkle hue to it and it is very very very very sticky and tacky, which is not necessarily my favorite."

What $295 Gets You in Growth Factor Serums vs. $46....EXPOSED! | Dr. Idriss
"This one is their Elastic Skin, and it's a plant derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor. So what does that mean? It means you're going to get a lot of antioxidant effects, a lot of anti-inflammatory effects, good hydrating effects, but it's not necessarily going to boost your collagen, so just be aware. And this is 46 to 48 bucks. If I get asked do you just buy this instead of the other, they're different, it's not the same. It may sound the same, but they're different because they're derived from different sources. You're still going to get a benefit from this, but know what to expect and what benefit you are getting."

"It is their firming and plumping growth factor serum. It's a silky, lightweight treatment that has peptides, growth factors, and brightening botanicals. It gives your skin this instant, juicy look with the long-term benefits of lifted and smoother skin. This just makes my face feel bouncy and alive."

"The Elastic Skin, which is their serum, I love so much. So much so that I actually have backups. If you have skin like mine that is dry, dehydrated, you have to try these products. Incredible products, incredible value."
⭐️ Title
"There's the In Beauty Project Elastic Skin Firming and Plumping Growth Factor Serum, which is right up my alley. It has copper peptides, it has growth factors, as well as phyto mucin. Now I personally love snail mucin, but for those of you who can't stand the thought of it, this is for you. The texture is very nice, it's kind of squishy, but it is incredibly deeply hydrating, and there's not a snail in sight. I absolutely love this stuff. I've been using this combo of the serum and the cream in my morning skincare routine and it is just divine. And it's affordable."
