- 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
