PURCELL 82% High Dose™ Peptide Formula (30ml)

The formula packs in a lot of actives. Here's what's working:

• Saccharomyces/Hexapeptide-11 Ferment Filtrate (82%): the star ingredient. Supports firmness, elasticity, collagen production, and skin renewal, while helping to smooth fine lines and improve skin density.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: draws in moisture and plumps skin for a bouncier, smoother look.
• Carnitine: helps regulate excess sebum and offers antioxidant protection, making it useful for oily and combination skin types.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: signals skin to produce more collagen, improving firmness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles over time.
• Adenosine: a well-recognised ingredient for softening the look of lines and supporting skin elasticity.
• Humectants (Glycerin, Betaine, Methyl Gluceth-20, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol): draw moisture into the skin and help maintain a dewy, cushiony feel.

The peptide and collagen complex works in a few ways:

• Firmness and elasticity: Saccharomyces/Hexapeptide-11 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 support your skin's natural collagen production, helping skin feel tighter and more lifted over time.
• Fine lines and texture: The high peptide concentration combined with Hydrolyzed Collagen helps plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and smoothing texture.
• Hydration: Collagen acts as a humectant here, drawing moisture into the skin so it looks dewy rather than dry or crepey.
• Barrier repair: With consistent use, the formula helps skin recover from daily stress and supports a more resilient barrier.

Carnitine is an amino-acid-like antioxidant that does two things:

• Helps regulate sebum production and reduce localised fat deposits, so skin looks less oily and more balanced.
• Protects against oxidative damage and soothes irritation, supporting overall skin health.

It focuses on several common concerns:

• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Fine lines and wrinkles, including crow's feet, laugh lines, and sleep lines
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Dull, tired-looking skin and slow recovery
• Early lines from expression and dehydration

Use it in the treatment step, after toner and before moisturiser. A typical order looks like:

• Cleanser
• Toner
• 82% High Dose Peptide Formula (essence/serum step)
• Moisturiser
• SPF (AM only)

It works morning and evening.

Yes, it's formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is free from harsh or irritating ingredients.

That said, for rosacea-prone skin it works best as a supporting serum rather than your first soothing or barrier-repair step. Introduce it gradually, starting 2 to 3 evenings a week, and patch test on a small area of your cheek first to check your skin is happy with it.

It has a lightweight, watery texture that feels fluid rather than sticky or greasy. It absorbs within seconds and leaves no residue, so it sits comfortably under moisturiser or makeup.

Yes, it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone. The formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic (won't block pores), and it's free from harsh or irritating ingredients, so it's unlikely to cause flare-ups or overwhelm reactive skin.
