The BEST Anti-aging Ingredient Since Retinoids! | The Budget Dermatologist

[@sookeecarter5357]

I have been following you for a very long time and as an aging gal, you have provided me with the very best advise so that I may age gracefully and protect what I have. I was watching today's video while I was folding our mountains of laundry (how can two retired folks generate so much laundry?) and I was smiling as you went through the list of peptides to use and why which one works on how to layer, etc. I have all of the peptide products you recommended and for the reasons you provided, they are all in my arsenal and I use them in rotation around my various Retinals and prescription strength Tretinoin. At 61, my skin really and truly looks better than ever and I have to give you credit for it and you've saved me a fortune on aestheticians in the process! Thank you, you are terrific!

[@Karrie732]

Can you share some please & the rotation? I’m new here 🙋🏼‍♀️& I need a routine desperately please. My son had cancer & it caused a lot of wrinkles under my eyes😢 thank you 🙏🏻

It's blue because of the copper. Copper peptide products are naturally blue-tinted, but blend into the skin when applied. I used Peter Thomas Roth's Peptide 21 serum, which is the precursor to Skinjection. It was fantastic, effective, and worth the splurge. This has been discontinued recently and I haven't used Skinjection, which has far fewer peptides and actives. I may go back to using The Ordinary copper peptide serum or Maelove, since I'm not sure the cost/benefit is there with Skinjection.

I’m currently loving the timeless Q10 serum which contains matrixyl 3000.

[@gwenjones1913]

It has everything she mentioned in her list in it!! I’ve never had 11s, I had one long wrinkle that was like a backwards j, the curved part at the top of my nose curving over going towards my eye. The straight part was always pink, as if it was getting a real good blood flow! I’ve been using the ‘Ordinary’s ‘Buffet’ with Copper peptides for about two weeks. The straight (ish) line going up my forehead is Gone. The curve will be visible if I’ve been reading, sometimes tv, from “concentrating”, and it can go away overnite or shortly after using in the morning! C r a z y! I tried a longtime ago Matrixyl alone, but couldn’t deal bc it would stay sticky. Soooo glad to find it and Airgeline and the other good stuff in one very inexpensive product. I use mine with Vit C and no problems at all. I’ll try the alternating to see if it makes a difference.

[@PaperedJewels]

I am using Corsx 6 Peptide skin booster. It looks like it has 3 of the 4 peptides you suggested. Do you know if this one is good?

[@brittanyblackburn890]

I just started using this too. I have been very happy with my results so far. Any update on if you like it or not?

[@kimgroslouis5587]

That was the most detailed video about peptides I have ever seen so far. Now I know what to look for and NOT to pick like the neurotransmitter peptides. I don't want anything that will play with my neurological system like botox but just to improve my elasticity and increasing my collagen production. That was spot on Dr. I really appreciated that you took the time to explain each of them. Thank you very much 😊

[@sailorgrlie]

Maelove is one of my favorite companies for skin care. I got their peptide serum when it came out and it was a fantastic addition to my routine. I'm glad everyone else seems to love it, but i don't currently have it because it's been sold out for awhile. 😭

Okay so you would not recommend layering the Maelove peptides and the Maelove Vitamin C, but would recommend alternating them? I think that is what I was hearing you say.

You can layer Vitamin C and Peptide serum together. Vitamin C needs to go on first, and leave on at least 5-10 minutes before layering Peptide serum over it.

[@yschuler1]

Where did you get that bit of information? I recently heard that you should not combine those two because peptides negatively affect vitamin C. I can’t remember where I picked that up, but it was recently.

[@staceyharrington5367]

Never layer copper peptides with vitamin C. I’m surprised that Maelove hasn’t given guidance since there are so many reviews with people using the glow maker with the squad serum. It decreases the effectiveness, it’s throwing away money.

[@kellyeradford9585]

It’s not the interaction with the peptides and Vitamin C but with Copper Peptides and Vitamin C that you should not layer together.

[@gwenjones1913]

Well, I’ve been doing it since I added the Copper peptides and so far so good. But I will experiment now, to see how things go.

Do you use vitamin c for the morning routine? If so where in the layering process? I thought vitamin C and Tretinoin can’t be used together. I like argeraline and snail mucin but I’m not sure how to layer. Is is odd that hyaluronic acid drastically accelerates fine lines! I’ve used it on damp skin and everytime it does the same thing. After 3 days of not using it and only moisturizing and snail mucin I look smooth again🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Swanicorn]

Yes stop or reduce the use of hyaluronic acid. They promote it as hydrating but take a drop of any HA product and leave it on a glass dish, you'll see it dries instead of being a humectant or hygroscopic. So when it does eventually dry on your skin which takes like 2 hours approximately, it draws moisture from your skin and dries it more. Another youtuber-dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss who is on some board that reviews safety of prospective products, dissed HA. To save you time, she recommends glycerine instead of HA.
