Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptides Rapid Plumping Serum vs NIOD | Doctors Review

[@DorotaGornicka]

This makes me so plump and glowing. Plus stops me from overusing actives since they would cancel it off. It makes me laugh because this serum or more, talking about copper peptides in general is my comeback post in a draft on the blog. We do this so often. Great minds 😂

[@DoctorAnne]

Can't wait to hear your take on it! Hurry up and hit publish already!

[@DorotaGornicka]

@@DoctorAnne oh I will. Hopefully Sunday - I tried taking photos but had no energy to set up the tripod and stuff, so I tried free hand but with the fatigue and shaky hands… lol. None of the photos came out in focus. I have a friend coming over tomorrow so I’ll see if she could help me set it up. I feel like such a mess asking friends for help all the time. So I hope I can come back stronger soon. It’s easier to help friends than ask for help

[@DoctorAnne]

@@DorotaGornicka I know what you mean. But be patient, you will get there.

I got a simple of this last month, the first time I tried copper peptide ingredient. My skin has become more brightened. I replace this with my Timeless vitamin c 10%, because my skin can't tolerate vitamin c. I purchased it two weeks ago at US$55 and shipping cost me US$7 to Taiwan. I like how easy it is to absorb into my skin. I use it with Azalic Acid in the morning. And Retinaldehyde at night time.

[@DoctorAnne]

I am glad it works so well for you.

[@kathrinholweger8743]

Currently testing the same things. I didn‘t notice any benefits from the Ordinary copper peptides. I‘m currently half-way through the NIOD one and super happy with it. Gives me a nice plumping healthy looking skin. Waiting to finish it up to try out the Biossance one which is waiting in my cupboard since I heard so many good things about it. However I‘m already happy, cause even if the Biossance won‘t work out for me I‘ll be super happy to make the NIOD one a permanent item in my routine. I do wish it wasn‘t so tricky to pair with other important actives. Still need to decide if I‘ll use it in the mornings with Vitamin C every other day or evenings with Tret every other day. I‘ll likely for the morning version, because I like how it makes my skin look.

[@DoctorAnne]

I think it is so hard to see benefits in your skin if you have a good routine already. The first time trying acids was a revelation - nothing has ever been that dramatic in effect ever since. Which makes me need to be more patient... Not my strong suit.

[@nadienadie6246]

Does niod have a weird smell like the ordinary one?

[@tinasung3814]

niod's copper peptide is the most expensive skincare product i own. When i ran out my first bottle 15ml bottle , i immediately notice how much my skin deflated. So i end up giving in to the high price and purchased a second bottle. I have not tried the other 2 products but am confident its just gonna pale in comparison. Lemme know if i am wrong fir those who have tried all 3.

[@DoctorAnne]

I prefer the NIOD over the others too.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Dr Anne I haven't tried any of the three tbh and really it's due to the price. The Niod version and probably the Biossance are not in my budget and I just haven't tried the ordinary version as yet. I have tried some K beauty serums with copper peptides in the INCI list, but truthfully peptides are not a must have ingredient for me. I'm happy to use them and if they're in my products then that's fine, but I can't truthfully say i've seen amazing anti aging from them. True actives like a retinoid and acids give a visible difference on the skin in a way I've never found peptides to do. One of the things I noted on this serum was how high HA is on the list and my skin is quite finnicky with that ingredient - too much causes a lot of irritation for me. For those who can't tolerate retinoids or vitamin c it may be worth investing in these copper peptides, in the hope they will stimulate collagen production. For me I would much rather invest in a really elegant spf and a retinoid, rather than this very expensive less well researched ingredient. Best wishes.

[@DoctorAnne]

I completely agree with you there, first cover your basics and then see if you want to experiment a little with other stuff. But you can have a stellar routine without spending that extra money!

I like the NIOD one in the tube. I've used that religiously and my skin is so fab because of it. I have never had results like I have using NIOD products.

[@DoctorAnne]

Which one is the one in the tube?

[@nadienadie6246]

Does the niod one smell like the ordinary one does ?

[@fifimsp]

@@nadienadie6246 i have not used the ordinary one, but detect no smell in the NIOD gel.

[@angelinebiswas7611]

I literally JUST returned this Biossance copper peptide 😩 I just didn’t see the same results as NIOD. I’m only 5 seconds into your video please don’t make me regret returning this!! Lol

[@DoctorAnne]

Haha, no. NIOD is still my favorite.

[@ChayaBhat-h6e]

Hello Dr. Anne, how to layer copper peptide? I purchased this serum last week. I dont know whether to apply copper peptide just after the facewash (on wet face as it has hyaluronic acid in it) Or di I need to use hyaluronic acid first and peptide serum as a second layer? Or can i use copper peptide on dry face after the face was? Kindly auggest

[@DoctorAnne]

All three is fine. I would n general use the lighter layers first and heavier products next, but you'll get results with all three ways.

[@ChayaBhat-h6e]

Thank you so much for your quick response 🙏

[@DoctorAnne]

@@ChayaBhat-h6e You are welcome.

Can I use growth factors and biossance copper peptides in the same routine?

Yes

[@babygoatsmum4122]

I will see how easily I can get this. Sounds interesting. Hi from Australia

[@DoctorAnne]

I admit I have no clue if they ship to Australia.

[@elly00177]

Can I use it after my AHA or BHA toner ?

[@DoctorAnne]

Yes.

Can i use naicinamide with copper peptides

[@DoctorAnne]

Yes.

[@heathersargent289]

I am debating buying this before the sale ends it's like 50$ with a water bottle or something on the biosionse site or the Niod CP I did already buy the ordinary CP durning the sale but I have been lusting over wanting to try these two the Niod and biosionse one , I did notice it looks like beauty bay has the Nid CP 3 for cheaper then Deciem at 53$ I think and it's like 69$ on Deciem I'm not sure why that is but if it's correct even with shipping of 5$ it would be cheaper. Idk what to do just stick to trying the ordinary first then try something else but I'm been thinking about the other 2 for along time and now the sales , so idk what to do should have probably just put the money I spent on the copper buffet serum toward one of the other 2. I didn't like the regular buffet serum at all the one that use to be 14$ that now is 23$ onsale the same as the CP one basically idk why they would raise it that much good thing I didn't like it at all.

[@DoctorAnne]

I always recommend not buying multiples at a time, as after opening the product will go off eventually, and with these serums, it is basically impossible to use up all three in the recommended time frame. There will always be another sale coming up. But that is just my take on it, I don't always follow my own advice here.

[@heathersargent289]

@@DoctorAnne LOL , thank u for giving me the advice I needed. I don't always think logically, I just think I want what I want and it's a sale ..lol and that's all I see 🙈 I am so bad and I have an obsessive compulsive personality..lol

@@heathersargent289 Don't we all react that way to sales? That is why they work so well for the companies.

I bought raw copper peptide and made my own. Much less expensive and I can make it stronger

[@DoctorAnne]

I am not confident enough in preservation systems to formulate skincare myself, I would be worried the formula would go off.

[@James.1_2-3]

@@DoctorAnne find an already made serum or lotion that contains copper peptides. That way you let them do all the work for you haha. They already formulate a product that is a good pH for the peptide. I found a general peptide serum that contained different peptides, and of course they saved money by putting GHK-cu last on the list of least added ingredients. So I added my own to make it 2% GHK-Cu strength. I assumed they added 0% GHK-Cu. Double check they don’t contain retinols, vitamin C and I forget what else. I’m just a firefighter what do I know! Buy them on Ali Express from a store that has good reviews. I bought 5 grams total and each gram came in it’s own little vial.

[@DoctorAnne]

@@James.1_2-3 Everything you add to an already existing formula changes the pH and the preservation system, so I wouldn't risk mixing things in my bought skincare either. But again, if you feel it works for you, that is great.

[@James.1_2-3]

You ever look into AHK-Cu for hair loss? I mixed AHK-Cu with Minoxidil for her hair loss. It’s worked!

[@DoctorAnne]

Would the Minoxidil on its own have worked as well?

[@James.1_2-3]

@@DoctorAnne A 4-month surveillance study involving 743 men with male-pattern hair loss was designed to evaluate (1) how quickly men using 1 ml of 5% minoxidil solution twice a day began to notice reduced hair loss and/or new hair growth, (2) efficacy of 5% minoxidil solution in improving hair density in areas affected by male-pattern hair loss, and (3) side effects associated with use of 5% minoxidil solution. All results were evaluated and reported by the men involved in the study; 150 physicians with male-pattern hair loss were among the 743 patients studied. At the end of 4 months: The scalp area affected by male-pattern hair loss (the “balding” area) was judged smaller by 67.3% of the men, unchanged by 31.9% and larger by 0.8%. The 5% minoxidil solution was judged very effective in stimulating new hair growth by 7.5% of the men, effective by 55%, moderately effective by 31.3% and ineffective by 6.2%. Hair density (the “fullness” of scalp hair) was judged improved by 74.2% of the men, unchanged by 24.3% and worsened by 1.5%. Of the 669 men who reported when results of minoxidil treatment were first noticeable, 13.9% reported results in the first month, 52.3% during the second month, and 33.8% during the third month. Skin-related side effects were reported by 13 patients.

[@James.1_2-3]

@@DoctorAnne AHK-Cu affects hair loss in two ways. First, it promotes the growth of blood vessels by stimulating the secretion of VEGF. Blood vessels are necessary to supply nutrients to hair follicles. Studies in animals show that AHK-Cu not only improves blood flow to existing hair follicles, but that it can promote the growth of new hair follicles by encouraging the growth of blood vessels. The second way that AHK-Cu affects hair loss, at least in animals models, is by down-regulating TGF-ß1. DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the major hormone involved in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in both men and women as they age. DHT produces many of its effects through TGF-ß1. By down-regulating TGF-ß1, AHK-Cu can directly reduce the impact of DHT and protect hair follicles from negative stress [2].

[@DoctorAnne]

@@James.1_2-3 Sorry, I think my question was easy to misunderstand. I know that Minoxidil works against hair loss in a certain percentage of men and women. I meant: Would the Minoxidil alone not have been enough to see results?

[@DoctorAnne]

@@James.1_2-3 The data is much weaker than the one on Minoxidil though.

Thank you.

This is far too light on the science/evidence…as in there wasn’t *any*. Walking through a list of ingredients without delving into the scientific evidence justifying bold claims for them is more what I would expect from Cosmopolitan not a medical doctor.

[@DoctorAnne]

I have background videos on individual ingredients on my channel. This is supposed to be a product review. but if you want hard evidence on skincare ingredients, I have to disappoint you anyway, usually there isn‘t much.

[@zuezsz]

Copper peptides already been researched and has antioxidants properties

[@maketheworldabetterplace2292]

you truly sound ignorant, maybe be you should educate yourself first on copper peptides as the research is science based, some leave the serum out as she said you can't use them at the same time as you use retinol but in between...however the science is there. Look it up yourself and if you like browse through more dermatologist channels on here talking about the evidence of function for copper peptides

[@GodfreyMann]

@@maketheworldabetterplace2292 you clearly failed school-level reading comprehension, because I didn’t say the evidence doesn’t exist, I merely asked her to provide it because she’s a doctor. Luckily she already replied to my comment and confirmed there’s very little science behind these ingredients. Which if I’m not mistaken makes you look really dumb.

Can u put this under the eye ?

In general yes, but it always depends on your individual sensitivities
