What the gurus are saying

This peptide moisturizer earns praise for doing double duty: it hyddles skin while delivering peptides, so you can skip a separate peptide product and streamline your routine. The texture is thick and rich with a satin finish that gurus describe as luxurious without feeling heavy or suffocating. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and layer if you need more.

"I love the Jordan Samuel Performance Cream. This is great if you're looking for a peptide moisturizer. You've got your Snap 8 in here, you've got your ceramides, your other barrier boosting ingredients. Absolutely fantastic as a peptide infused moisturizer. It helps to streamline because you can use this in the place of your peptide and your moisturizer all in one. [...] My top tip with this one though is a little goes a long way. So I would use a very small amount of this working into the skin, then add a little more on top if you need it. It's a thick and rich moisturizer, so I don't go too heavy-handed on it. I find a little does go a long way."

"His moisturizers are like the best cashmere sweaters of winter. They will hug your skin and they are never too heavy or suffocating. The Performance Cream is [...] highly moisturizing with peptides and a satin finish. It is worth mentioning as a must-have of the brand."

"I got the Jordan Samuel Skin Performance Cream in PR. On first use the consistency was nice and light, kind of like a cool drink of water, though it went on a little streaky. My skin was ever so slightly damp but not soaking, and it did seem to soak into the skin. I layered it underneath my tinted mineral sunscreen, made sure it was fully dry, and I didn't have any issues with peeling or any problems reapplying the sunscreen over it, so it seems like they're a good fit. It's more lightweight than the moisture recovery cream, which is probably why it performed well under sunscreen. I've only been trying it a few days so it's not enough to make a full opinion yet, but it feels really good applying to the skin and it's free of niacinamide."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
