Copper Lysinate/Prolinate: Using Swiss technology, this essential amino acid mineral complex, per the manufacturer, is supposed to boost collagen and elastin production.

Pre-Solubilized Resorcinol Complex -A patented, highly-efficient form of solubilized active resorcinol offers an evenly bright-looking skin tone while acting as a powerful antioxidant with an outstanding safety profile. If you are totally new to The Ordinary and finding it very confusing, don’t panic. You can find lots of The Ordinary regimens & routines here. You can also build your very own skincare regimen with the new regimen builder. Deciem does not test on animals and does not pay others to test on animals, and has been certified with the Leaping Bunny stamp of approval. I think both serums are excellent. I took a break from retinol for a few weeks after going a little overboard, irritating and drying out my skin. When comparing Hylamide SubQ Skin vs. The Ordinary “Buffet”, both are effective and affordable peptide serums that target the signs of aging. The serums vary in formula, ingredients, and pricing, so you can decide what is most important to you:

Is Deciem Hylamide C25 Vitamin C Booster Right for Me?

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: Also known as Matrixyl Synthe’6 (a trademark of Sederma) this peptide helps to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles, especially around the forehead. In 2017 Deciem entered into a partnership with Estee Lauder Companies. In February of 2021, it was announced that Estee Lauder Companies (ELC) would increase its investment in Deciem from 29% to 76% over the next three years, allowing Deciem to take advantage of ELC’s global distribution.

Nonapeptide-3 Retina-Complex: This peptide, Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3, is supposed to provide similar results as retinol, but without the side effects (i.e. irritation) by increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen.

Ethoxydiglycol solv| h| perf 0 0, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid aox| sb, Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid sb, Phenylethyl Resorcinol aox| sb In an attempt to make building your skincare routine easier, Hylamide has a Core series for the basics and a Booster series for the extras, and the Hylamide Booster C25 Serum that I will review today belongs to the latter. It features 25% of a Vitamin C derivative that is more stable than the diva Ascorbic Acid and other ingredients targeting hyperpigmentation. (More info: Everything you need to know about Vitamin C in skincare) Ethyl ascorbic acid is a derivative of vitamin C with excellent skin brightening activity. It is unique in that its chemical structure causes it to be a highly stable form. Hydroxyphenoxy propionic acid is designed to exfoliate the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation and impede future spots. Finally, phenylethyl resorcinol, also known as SymWhite 377, is used as a lightening agent by influencing the production of pigmentation.NOTE: The Ordinary recommends avoiding the use of products containing copper peptides in the same skincare routine as strong antioxidants as well as direct acids, L-Ascorbic Acid, and Ethylated Ascorbic Acid. I look at the difference in price as representing the more elegant texture of Hylamide SubQ Skin and the inclusion of a retinol alternative.
