"This is the ZIIP Silver Gel. Love this. It's one of my favorites because for mature skin, it's very hydrating while you're doing your ZIIP routine. My absolute favorite one. They have the gold, they have the crystal, but I always seem to return to the Silver Gel."

"As far as a microcurrent device, you cannot go wrong with the ZIIP because they update their app every year, it's like getting a new device every time they update the app. My favorite serum to use with microcurrent is the ZIIP Silver Gel. Super hydrating for mature skin."

"My favorite is the silver. Super hydrating. My skin loves it. And I would say my second favorite is the golden gel, but I always tend to gravitate toward the Silver Gel."

"And then I'm currently using the ZIIP Silver Gel, and I find that I need two pumps of this gel, whereas the gold gel I only needed one pump. What I love about the ZIIP gels is you don't need a lot to get them on, and using a mist helps with the glide. You can get your entire face and your neck covered in a couple pumps if you treat your skin beforehand with some mist. It just makes your ZIIP gels last a lot longer."

"Will you get the same results? Absolutely. But the skincare ingredients in the ZIIP Gold gel and the ZIIP Silver gel are incomparable to any gels that I've tried. If you use a little bit of mist you can help your gels last a little bit longer, it will possibly increase the sensation, so if you have super sensitive skin you might want to skip the mist and just go with the amount of gel that gives you the coverage and the comfort that you need. [...] I love my ZIIP, I reach for it every day."

"I also finished one bottle of the ZIIP Silver Gel, which is also very nice and more affordable than the golden gel."

"The gold one was for mature skin and the silver one was for young, acne-prone skin, and it made me feel like I had to buy extra stuff, which I didn't like. It wasn't versatile, and it was just goopy and gross. Even though one has silver and one has gold, they say the ingredients are slightly different, but they have a very similar base, and they just aren't revolutionary. I was not a fan."

"This is the Silver Gel which helps with additional hydration so if you have dry skin this one is wonderful."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
