What the gurus are saying

Rich but not greasy, this cream earns praise for its texture and peptide-carnosine action. Gurus found it smooths, plumps, and hydrates effectively. However, some question whether anti-aging claims have enough research backing, they love the performance but want stronger evidence for the innovation claims.

"I have lost count of how many times I've recommended this on the channel because it is genuinely my favorite moisturizer. It's classed as a moisturizer but it's so much more, it's got peptides, growth factors and anti-glycation agents, so it steps things up in terms of anti-aging. It's the nicest, richest cream you will ever use. I have oily, acne prone skin and it doesn't break me out, but it gives a meaningful hydration, and it doesn't leave you sticky and greasy, it's my summer go to because it's super fresh and lightweight. It isn't the cheapest product, but if you see it as a moisturizer, an anti-aging cream, a peptide cream and a growth factors cream all in one, that's quite a lot, so if you're streamlining this is a really nice option to go for."
All 6 takes from Mad About Skin
Breakthrough SKIN FIRMING ROUTINE - One Product Changes It All
"The Medik8 Advanced Pro-Collagen Peptide Cream is a great one to go for. You've got your peptides, so some additional peptide action, and you've got some carnosine in here. I'm using this as the moisturizer and carnosine, but it has got some peptide action too. It's really, really nice. [...] I like to get a little extra carnosine action in my life. [...] This is the additional step that is very optional, but I personally like."
10 Greatest ANTI AGING SERUMS - Skincare Awards 2025
"So you've got a rich cream, a moisturizer, an anti-aging all-in-one product. [...] It's quite rich, and I like that. Particularly in winter, my skin definitely needs a little extra TLC, a little extra hydration. You get that with this, but you also get all that great anti-aging. It smooths, it plumps, it hydrates, it nourishes, it's amazing. You can use it morning and evening, and a little goes a long way. What I just put on my hand is enough to do the whole face. You don't need a lot of product, so one of these will last you quite a long time because you get a fair amount of product in here. It looks bougie, it just feels gorgeous on the skin. [...] This would be a really nice gift, people will see instant results, long-term benefits, and I think it genuinely works for all skin types."
FIRMER SKIN IN 7 DAYS? - New Viral Anti Aging Cream Tested
"I just wouldn't feel comfortable saying you're definitely going to get a 45% increase in collagen after using this product. They didn't put a time frame on when that 45% is actually reached, so maybe if you're consistent with this for 6 months you might see that result, but that's the one claim that I think might be a bit sus. Overall, do I think this is an absolutely amazing anti-aging moisturizer? Yes. Do I think it delivers something truly innovative in terms of skincare? Absolutely. [...] But I think some of those claims could do with a little bit more data to back them up. [...] I'm going to give it a solid eight out of 10. One thing I would say is whilst it's claimed to be a moisturizer, I would use it more as a serum, because it's not the cheapest product out there. Use [...] the amount that you would normally apply a serum, then put a moisturizer on top. That way you're going to double down on that hydration, but you'll get longer wear out of it because you're not using as much. Medik8 do this thing called a no quibble return: as long as there's 50% of the product remaining, [...] you can send it back for a full refund. [...] Try it for seven days, and if you're not impressed, send it back. They don't quibble, they don't question it."

"For the same price you could buy the Medik8 Advanced Pro Collagen Peptide Cream. This is the one I use. It's actually better and cheaper."
Official: WORLDS No1 SKINCARE BRAND - This Brand Transformed My Skin
"This is the Medik8 Advanced Pro Collagen Peptide Cream. It has peptides and anti-glycation agents in it, which help prevent damage from the free sugars in the skin that can trigger a premature aging response. [...] For me it's just a nice moisturizer, super lightweight, and I keep it in the fridge for that instant cooling in the summer months. [...] You only need a tiny amount because it's so rich and so creamy. I'm super oily and acne prone and this doesn't break me out, and yet I'm getting all that anti-aging benefit. If you want an anti-aging cream that's also a peptide serum all in one, this is stunning."

"I have something new from Medik8, the Advanced Pro-Collagen Peptide Cream. You might know Medik8 from their Crystal Retinal line, they were the first ones to bring this retinol to the market, and they really have a cosmetically elegant product. [...] This is their newest release, [...] with mini proteins and NAD+. I've already used quite a bit of it, using it for the second half of the colder months, and [...] I do enjoy it. [...] If you want something that is rich but not greasy and very elegant in texture, more of a nighttime thing, then this one is really a good option."
