  • Water-based serum (standard)
  • 5–10%
  • Visible softening in 4–6 weeks, plateau at 8 weeks
  • Stable in pH 5.0–7.0; degrades in presence of strong acids or retinoids
  • Best for daily use. Easy layering, compatible with most routines
  • Anhydrous oil serum
  • 10–15%
  • Slightly faster penetration (3–5 weeks), same plateau
  • Higher peptide stability; no hydrolysis risk
  • Ideal for combination with retinoids or acids applied at different times
  • Cream or lotion base
  • 3–8%
  • Slower onset (5–7 weeks) due to occlusive base delaying penetration
  • Peptide stable but delivery efficiency lower
  • Suitable for dry skin but expect delayed timeline
  • Liposomal or nanoencapsulated
  • 5–10% (encapsulated)
  • Faster visible results (3–4 weeks), deeper penetration
  • Enhanced stability; protects peptide from oxidation and pH shifts
  • Most effective format but higher cost. Worth it for consistent results
