What the gurus are saying

The gurus who reviewed it praise the formula as an affordable option packed with heavy-hitter peptides and a broader ingredient roster than comparable products. The addition of niacinamide sets it apart, that means it can help with discoloration and post-acne marks on top of the peptide benefits. One reviewer found it hydrating and layerable across combination and dry skin without irritation or peeling, though the read is still limited to a couple of takes so far.

"One of my more affordable recommendations is the Maelove Peptide Squad that has arjolene. It's got Matrixyl 3000. It has copper peptides. So like the main heavy hitters."

"This is Maelove's take on copper peptides and I really love this. The ingredients are slightly different from The Ordinary and Neostrata but very comparable. There is Argireline and Matrixyl 3000, which are two types of peptides, there are rice peptides in here, and then of course that copper tripeptide which is that copper ingredient. There's also niacinamide in here, which I believe The Ordinary and Neostrata do not have, and niacinamide is an antioxidant, so this is a fabulous ingredient to address discoloration and post-acne marks and can really help to brighten up the skin. There's also turmeric, there's green tea, there's red algae, there's ceramide in here to help with that skin barrier, there's hyaluronic acid, there's jojoba oil. This is a very hydrating serum that is honestly perfect for all skin types including those that have dry skin. I have combination skin and this works nicely on my skin. I've never experienced breakouts with this and it also layers up nicely with other skincare products. Everything layers up nicely and I've had no issues with peeling."
