What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this as an advanced, effective copper peptide serum that delivers visible firming and anti-aging results with a lightweight, watery texture that layers well. The consistent feedback emphasizes it works faster than budget alternatives and is suitable for daily use. The main tension is price: most reviewers call it worth the investment for serious peptide users, though a few note the texture preference and cost may not justify it over cheaper options for everyone. One reviewer found it effective but texturally unwieldy compared to competitors.

"This has been a staple in my routine for years. I think this was one of the first peptide serums I ever used and I've absolutely loved it. It's not the cheapest product out there, but it's definitely an advanced formula that makes sure those peptides get to where they need to be in the skin in order to deliver maximum benefit. Such a great product, such a great formula, and definitely for people that have used peptides for some time and want to kick it up a notch. This is a product that will definitely help you to achieve that. This is an advanced product that definitely takes your peptide game to the next level."

Top 5 ULTIMATE SKIN FIRMING SERUMS - Best Anti Aging Routine Yet
"If you want to go for the most advanced copper peptide option, then you could reach for the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum. This is a fantastic product that has multiple layers of technology to make sure those copper peptides are getting to where they need to be to give you quick and effective results. It's also got a great blend of peptides in here which are really going to double down on that collagen production. Full price, it is actually a little bit out of the reach of a lot of people, but with the sale on, it will make it slightly more accessible."

NIOD SALE ANNOUNCED - Up To 50% Off 😱 (My NIOD Favourites)
"If you prefer something that isn't in a lipid base but is more traditional serum then the Copper Amino Isolate Serum is a great option very similar in terms of outcomes but this is a little bit more lightweight and has slightly lower price point. If you're on a slightly lower budget don't feel you have to compromise this is a really great anti-aging option."

"This is more advanced because of the ingredients. Neod is more advanced which is why this brand is more money than the ordinary. The ingredients that you see in some of the Neod products you won't see in the ordinary brand. I do feel like this provides quicker results, at least from my experience with this product. If I were to compare the two together, this one does give better results. It has a different texture. This is very thin like water and it's also dark blue. Once you open this up, you have about six months to finish it. This one has a really nice texture that spreads across the skin. It's hydrating. It's not sticky or tacky either. I've never experienced peeling. You can also use this everyday twice a day. If you want to take your skin to the next level and you love your peptides, try copper peptides. You can't go wrong with this one."

LUXURY SKINCARE THAT'S ACTUALLY WORTH THE MONEY - MY MOST USED HIGH-END PRODUCTS WITH REAL RESULTS
"I've been using this serum for so many years that I just felt like I had to mention it in this video because it really is a luxe product that is worth every penny. This is truly a holy grail. Copper peptides is one of my favorite ingredients to incorporate on an everyday basis or several times through the week. I love copper peptides because peptides are great, but copper peptides truly take your skin to the next level. It firms the skin a little bit quicker. It also helps to stimulate collagen. It has wound healing properties to it. So it helps to speed up that healing process of the skin, just keeping your skin really healthy and radiant looking. And I just love the glow that copper peptides gives my skin as well, especially this product. The texture of this is very thin like water. It spreads so nicely. A little bit goes a long way. And it never peels. It's never sticky or tacky. It always sits great with other skincare products. And this can be used every day twice a day as well."
DECIEM SALE 2024 | MUST HAVE PRODUCTS YOU NEED FROM THE ORDINARY, NIOD & LOOPHA - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"This is a product that I talk a lot about here on my channel and this is a product that I really believe in. You would not believe the results that I have seen with this serum alone and I have been very consistent with this for over 2 years now, and I am just absolutely in love and obsessed with this. Copper peptides have wound healing properties, it can help to stimulate new collagen, address fine lines and wrinkles, and it can help to firm the skin. I have noticed that with this serum in particular it does help to firm the skin and it does give a glow to the skin as well. Copper peptides has anti-inflammatory properties as well, so if you have facial redness this can help to reduce on that rosiness. This is a product that can be used every day twice a day. You do need to be cautious on what you pair this up with, exfoliating acids, certain types of antioxidants like L-ascorbic acid and Resveratrol. They also don't recommend using this with retinol or tretinoin. I have used it a few times but I much prefer to keep them separate."

"I use this one almost every day. If I'm not using The Ordinary copper peptides, I am using this one. I do feel like this one is a little bit more effective. I do feel like this one works a little quicker. This one has more of that watery texture whereas the one from The Ordinary is more like that jelly, more like a hyaluronic acid type of texture. It's great for fine lines, great for signs of aging. The serum is thin, it's lightweight, it layers up nicely with skincare."

"I love that copper ingredient. If you're looking for something that is a little bit more advanced, something that possibly could work a little bit faster because for my experience this one works a little bit faster than The Ordinary one, this is the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum. The ingredients in here are more advanced. I do find that this works a lot quicker but it's very comparable and similar to The Ordinary. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. This one unfortunately is more expensive. This one has more of that thin watery consistency whereas this one is a little bit more of that gel type of serum. It kind of mimics hyaluronic acid in the way of texture so it just depends on maybe what consistency you like better, what your budget is, but these two are exceptional, especially if you're looking for a copper peptide."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2023 | I SPLURGED ONCE AGAIN AND THIS IS WHAT I PURCHASED!
"I'm really curious to see how this is going to work because it's been a while since I've used this and I can't remember how I liked it. I can't remember if it pilled or how it layered out with my skin care."

"I find that the NIOD serum is fine, it works well, but I don't know, I don't enjoy using it as much. I find it a bit more unwieldy texturally speaking. The Ordinary serum has a little bit more substance to it and feels like you're putting more on than just a very thin liquid that slips through your fingers. That's really just a personal preference; it doesn't necessarily speak to efficacy per se. Having really given the NIOD one a rigorous test, I found it to be effective and beneficial, but I honestly don't really have a strong reason to encourage you to buy the NIOD one if you're interested in copper peptides."
Approved
"The copper amino isolate serum is a copper peptide serum great for nighttime use to help with anti-aging. We've got 1% copper peptides, we've got vitamin E, we've got that retinol peptide 189, and then we've got prolene peptide. It's a water-based peptide serum. We also have an ingredient called tholin 4 which is a peptide that's claimed to work with the youth hormone, works by compensating the loss of thymic factors that come with age and it's thought to stimulate the skin immune defenses and help the skin to regenerate and produce more collagen. So buy this for the copper peptides and the other peptides in here and keep using it for the other beneficial goodies in here. It's a really nice serum."
