What the gurus are saying

This peptide serum visibly softens smile lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, with several gurus reporting noticeably plumped and lightened fine lines after consistent use. The two-peptide formula targets expression lines through different mechanisms, making it stand out in a crowded peptide market, though experts split sharply on whether the $148-180 price tag justifies the results when similar peptide serums cost considerably less. Those already avoiding retinol or neurotoxins find real value here; price-conscious shoppers may want to explore budget alternatives first.

"SkinCeuticals PTOX combines acetyl hexapeptide 8 with a peptide targeting forehead lines and crow's feet through two different mechanisms, giving it more range than single mechanism options. It's definitely one of my go-tos for neuropeptide serums."
✓Mixed
"SkinCeuticals makes a PTOX which is like 180 bucks. I personally don't spend a ton of money on skincare, it doesn't cost a fortune. A lot of these really super high priced products are not any better than the cheaper versions of them. Sometimes they are, most of the time they're not."
✓Yay
"The SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Serum was a slam dunk for me this year. It's pricey, but since I've been pregnant or breastfeeding for over three years and can't use retinol, [...] it was really nice to use a peptide serum that has actually visibly plumped up my few fine lines. [...] I noticed a visible difference and love it so much."

My NEW Favorite Things (NO Makeup?! 🤯)
"I'm going to give this a fair shot and use this very regularly, and boy oh boy I really do see a difference. My deepest lines are in my smile lines and I do feel like they've lightened up a little bit and they've kind of plumped up. I also have some lines here and I feel like that's also getting better. The cool thing about this too is you can use it kind of around the eye area. They kind of call this like Botox in a bottle, even though it doesn't actually freeze anything like Botox would."

"This is a cutting edge peptide based serum designed to target expression lines like your crow's feet, maybe some movement forehead wrinkles. It almost has like a Botox-like effect. It also helps improve skin texture and radiance while strengthening the skin barrier. It can be used alone or to enhance the effects of neurotoxin treatments. [...] The key ingredients here are advanced peptide complex, the 2% hexapeptide and 2% dipeptide, which helps smooth out the expression lines."

"My favorite product of 2024 my wife and I love this new peptide Serum by skin cuticals the ptoo serum and I have patients on it I use it my wife uses it it's a great way to not only increase collagen production but it makes my fine lines and wrinkles on my forehead and around the eyes they seem less apparent"
Top Pick: peptide serum
✓Mixed
"It's $148, and I think this serum is too little too late in a saturated market of peptide serums. It's a good product, but there are so many other similar formulations with these particular peptides for much less, like the QRxLabs peptide booster serum, which I find just as good and honestly more hydrating than this. It's the price point that keeps me from recommending it, it's just way too expensive, so I would never buy this myself."
✓Yay
"I love how it makes the skin look, it gives that beautiful glassy, hydrated sheen. Most noticeably, I feel like it actually does make my pores appear smaller, and my pores have been gaping as of late so I've been quite self-conscious about them. It's [...] a concentrated treatment with 10% of their exclusive Myrixin complex, a group of six plant extracts high in antioxidants that also help improve the appearance of lines and pores."

"One of the ones that have won a lot of Beauty Awards is this P toox from skin pical which is truly just a blend of peptides and maybe some niacinamide in it really not a groundbreaking ingredient maybe if it came out 3 4 years ago it would be but in 2024 there have been a lot more products that are much more advanced than this product out there"

"Overall the product is good, and it's a product I would recommend if it was less expensive. I'm just disappointed in the innovation, because this is about a year and a half to two years behind where it should be for a big launch."
