What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise the high peptide concentration and multi-peptide blend as effective for firming and plumping skin. The recurring strength is visible results paired with lightweight feel and added hydration from supporting ingredients like hyaluronate. The main criticism is price point, though most agree the formula justifies the cost per use. One reviewer found a cheaper alternative that worked equally well, suggesting it's excellent but not irreplaceable.

"The Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced is the Liquid Peptides formula with growth factors added in. Growth factors are a great subset of peptides that have some additional pro-collagen benefit. So if you're using the Liquid Peptides and you really want to dial up the results you see, go for the Liquid Peptides Advanced and get that extra dose of growth factors. Medik8 really know what they're doing with peptides. They're my favorite peptide brand."

PEPTIDES - Better Than Botox Or Skincare Scam
"Medik8 Liquid Peptides has a huge concentration coming in at 30% of that key ingredient and a plethora of different peptides in here. This used to be my go-to and my favorite. Medik8 were the first ones to do high quality high dose peptides really effectively. This is a great all-rounder and whilst it's slightly more expensive than some of the others, I think if you're the sort of person that likes to go with the OG, the best peptide serum around, I don't think you can go wrong with this. Multiple peptides, high dose formulation, and yeah, just a great all-rounder."
BEST SKINCARE ROUTINE 2024 - Best Anti Aging Skincare
"In this category the budget is going to win. I just don't think we need to overpay for peptides anymore. There's a lot of technology coming into the skincare space with peptides that mean they're super flexible, they're easy to use, and you don't need to pay a whole lot. The reason I go for this is it's encapsulated so you can use it alongside your vitamin C without any issues. Other peptides which aren't encapsulated tend not to like lower pH environments like with vitamin C, so you have to be a little bit more careful. If you just want to take the stress out your peptide game, get an encapsulated peptide and that way you don't have to worry. The encapsulation surrounds that peptide and provides a little bit of a shield. It breaks apart when the encapsulation hits the skin, so it's a more delayed release and the peptides aren't impacted by what's already on the skin."
NEXT LEVEL PEPTIDE SERUMS - Maximise Collagen In Skin
"The Medik8 Liquid Peptides contains a 30 peptide complex with multiple different peptides. You've got some for hydration, some for evening out fine lines and wrinkles, and some that can help fade hyperpigmentation, so this is a great one-stop shop option. Not the cheapest on the market, but when you look at concentration and the types of peptides you're getting, this is a really really good option."
TOP 10 SKINCARE EMPTIES 2023 - Best Skincare I Finished and 3 Skincare Fails
"This has coer peptides in here, it's got other peptides, it's got some hydrators, it's actually a blend so it's got a 30% peptide complex within here which is fairly high concentration and you get great results. I do love it, but I'm also really loving The Ordinary peptide blends at the moment and I'm mindful that the cost of this is quite high. With the cost of everything just generally in life being quite expensive, if we can cut the cost why wouldn't we. I find myself going towards more The Ordinary copper peptides as opposed to this. Is it amazing? Yes. Will I be repurchasing it? No, but only because I found a cheaper alternative that personally works for me. I definitely think if you're using and loving this, keep on at it because it is a great formulation, but for me I found that I could do it cheaper."
RECORD BREAKING ANTI AGING - 5 Secret Serums Everyone Needs To Try
"They use biocompatible growth factors which are the ones that are already present in our skin, and the studies show they deliver the best results. This is a groundbreaking serum in terms of that price point and accessibility. It also contains carnosine which is great at preventing glycation in the skin, which is another precursor to aging. So it kind of works in two ways. I absolutely love it. Medik8 are doing some really wonderful things in terms of skin care, and their Liquid Peptides Advanced is one of the best growth factor serums you will find at a much more accessible price point than some other ones. So you can get the luxury without the luxury price point."

"This is the Medik8 Liquid Peptides, this is a 30 peptide complex. A little bit pricier on the price point than maybe I would normally spend, but a little goes a long way. This acts as a hydrating serum and a peptide serum all in one, so yeah definitely a really great option that packs a punch."
Top 3 PEPTIDE SERUMS - Boost Collagen In Skin
"If you have a little extra coin to splurge and you don't mind trading up, spending a little more for some of that delivery technology, I think the Medik8 Liquid Peptides is the best that I found on the market. Based on my own skin's response, it just delivered the greatest benefit. If you do spend a little more to get a patented delivery mechanism, I think you'll definitely see the benefits, particularly when it comes to the speed of the anti-aging. This will work a lot quicker on those fine lines and wrinkles than some of the other peptide serums out there."
SUPERCHARGED ANTI AGING - The Perfect Peptide Serum
"This is the Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, 30% peptide concentration but with growth factors as a key component of that. The growth factors in here are phenomenal. It just genuinely delivers for you. It's a more affordable price point and whilst the technology isn't quite as advanced as some other options, it's still going to pack a punch when it comes to results and does so at a more affordable price point."

"This stuff's wonderful. It's a light serum. It helps firm and plump skin. It's got a gellish serumy texture to it. In here we've got really nice ingredients. I would say this one's nice for acne prone skin. It's got some probiotics in there, a couple of them, inulin. It's also got the carnosine peptide, which is an anti-glycation peptide. It's also got the syncol peptide, which is supposed to help produce collagen deep down in skin, which helps with plumping, helps with firmness, all of that good stuff. They've got the argolene and matrixel 3000 peptides. And then it's also got the X50 anti-aging peptide duo. And then it's got the lofasil peptide which helps with expression wrinkles. Really nice product. No scent in it. Wonderful formula."

The Ordinary Multi Peptide Serum with Copper Peptides Closest Dupes & Affordable Alternatives
"The Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP+ is 60 bucks, so this ends up being $2 per milliliter. More expensive than The Ordinary. However, this one also has a really nice ingredient list. It uses a special kind of copper peptide which does not turn things blue. It's got the X50 anti-aging peptide duo, which is known to promote collagen and elastin in skin. It's got the carnosine peptide, which carnosine on ingredient list doesn't make it look like a peptide, but it is a peptide. It's great for anti-aging. We've got the sinol peptide, the argolene peptide, Tigep 417 peptide for anti-aging."

"The Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP is really quite nice for the most part. It's dexmethylone based and it's got matrixyl synthesis. It's got the crystallide peptide which is known for brightening skin up. It's got the synolip peptide, matrixel 3000 and the argireline, botox in a bottle peptide. Fragrance-free. I would say more for dry or dehydrated skin types. If you have oilier skin, it might be a bit on the hydrating side."
Approved
"If you're looking for a growth factor serum, Medik8 Liquid Peptides with growth factors is my top pick. You get both the benefits of peptides and growth factors. I love the way this smooths my skin. It has a roller. You can keep it in the fridge for a cooling effect, but if you have redness, hot flashes, this is amazing for reducing redness quickly. It usually takes my skin about 5 minutes to kind of calm down. Now, is it reversing deep wrinkles? Absolutely not. But for a growth factor serum, top pick for 2025 is Medik8."

It has Metatricxel 3000. It has the copper peptides, but some additional skin boosting peptides in there as well. Really nice lightweight texture. You can layer this before or after your retinoid in the evening. You could use it in the morning if it works better in your routine there. It's very versatile."

Dermatologist's Favorite Skincare Products of 2023! Vitamin C Serum, Sunscreens, & More
"The other serum that I've been using a ton this year is by Medik8 and it's their Liquid Peptides. Peptides are one of those things in skincare that often feel a bit vague because there are so many different types of peptides, but the reason I like this one from Medik8 is they've really taken the most proven peptides and incorporated them into one serum that to me is relatively affordable for how much goodness is packed into one product. Peptides can do a lot of different things, they can help with collagen production, they can help with fine lines, they can smooth the skin, they can plump the skin, and the blend that is in this particular product I think is really wonderful. I also like that this is a pretty lightweight serum so again it layers well with other products and when I'm thinking about serum steps I just never want my skin to feel heavy or feel weighed down and I never want my products to peel up or ball up on the skin when I apply my sunscreen for example, and this really plays nice with others. The one thing I'll say about this and this is really only if you're like a real stickler for texture is occasionally it feels a bit tacky or like sticky on the skin and some days I'm like oh I don't really love that and other days it really doesn't bother me, but that's just something I think that's worth pointing out."

"Their liquid peptide serum is so amazing. It's one of my most recent introductions to my routine, but based off my research it's like the internet's best serum for anti-aging and plumping and softening the skin. Every time I use it I am blown away. It's typically a little bit more pricey, but if you want to find an incredible product for fighting and preventing premature aging I would definitely recommend it."
Approved
"This is Medik8 liquid peptides and I would happily put that all over my face before putting on a retinol. You can easily use peptides which are signaling ingredients and they basically signal for the skin to repair itself as you sleep. You can do wear them during the day as well. I just want something to give my skin slip to put the retinol or retinaldehyde over the top."
Approved
"This is the one that I think is absolutely superior to peptide serums out there. It's the Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced because this has a whopping dose of peptides in. This has a 30% peptide complex. You cannot just go out there and get any peptide serum and think it's going to all do the same thing. You have to be super picky about your peptide serum that you are using a serum that has the right kind of peptides to do what you think it's going to be doing to your skin. This peptide serum, Liquid Peptides, has signal peptides in it, which are the peptides I look for. It's called Matrixel 3000. Signal peptides are the ones that are so well-studied and lots of evidence for those to build collagen in your skin. The serum is so lightweight and nice on the skin. You can wear it in the morning under makeup with your other skincare products. No issues there. It also has copper peptides in it which are really great for skin renewal, repairing your skin barrier, wound healing, skin elasticity."

Derm’s REALISTIC Nighttime Anti-aging Skincare Routine
"This is a really super lightweight and nourishing serum. This is a standout peptide serum option for you because this contains 30% complex of peptides, which is a lot of peptides. And not just any type of peptides, it contains Matrixyl 3000, which is my favorite type of peptide from all of my research to build collagen in the skin. It contains acetyl hexapeptide 8, which targets the muscle similarly to the way Botox does. So acetyl hexapeptide 8, which I love because I don't get Botox so I love to incorporate that peptide in my routine, and copper peptides, which is another really great one for skin barrier repair and skin barrier health. This can easily be your treatment step on the nights you're taking a break from your retinoid, or you are just literally going to put a thick layer of this on the skin directly after you cleanse. I just rub this in until it's literally kind of white and pasty, go to bed, and I swear I'm obsessed with this. When you wake up, your skin feels so hydrated, repaired."
