Why The Wellness recommends this

Curated, not stocked.

Our team selected this for clients who approach skin health with the same rigour they bring to nutrition or recovery — looking for a well-formulated, evidence-informed product rather than a single hero ingredient. The breadth of the peptide blend, combined with Medik8's Dual MiniProteins™ technology, makes this one of the more considered options in the category. It suits those who have the fundamentals of their skincare routine in place and want to add a targeted peptide layer with a credible formulation behind it.

About this product

Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP

Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP is a precision serum built around a broad-spectrum blend of 13 peptides, anchored by Dual MiniProteins™ — a technology developed by Medik8's Chief Product Officer Daniel Isaacs and described by the brand as a world first. Peptides are short chains of amino acids thought to encourage the skin's production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, supporting visible improvements in bounce and resilience with consistent use.

The peptide roster includes Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Pentapeptide-18, among others — a multi-pathway approach to targeting visible signs of ageing rather than relying on a single active. Each peptide class is thought to act via a distinct mechanism, which is the rationale behind formulating with a broad spectrum rather than a concentrated single ingredient.

The formula is rounded out with humectants — glycerin and pantolactone — to help draw water to the upper layers of the skin, alongside sodium hyaluronate for moisture retention. Dunaliella Salina (green algae) extract and panthenol contribute to the overall skin-conditioning profile. The texture is serum-weight and layers cleanly within an existing routine, making it a practical addition rather than a disruptive step. As with all peptide serums, results build gradually; this is a product that rewards consistent, daily use over weeks rather than days.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Can I use this alongside prescription tretinoin or other retinoids?

Yes—peptides and retinoids work via different pathways, so layering is generally well-tolerated. Apply Liquid Peptides first on clean, dry skin, allow a minute for absorption, then follow with your retinoid and moisturiser. If irritation occurs, separate them by alternating evenings.

How long before I see a visible change in fine lines?

With twice-daily use, most users report a subtle softening of expression lines after 6–8 weeks; deeper firmness benefits build over 12 weeks. Consistency is key—peptides signal gradually rather than deliver an instant cosmetic effect.

Is this suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, but the 13-peptide blend plus mild acids can tingle on very reactive skin. Patch-test behind the ear for three nights; if no redness or stinging occurs, introduce every other day before building to daily use.

Where does this fit in my morning routine with vitamin C and SPF?

Apply Liquid Peptides after cleansing and before vitamin C serum; its lightweight texture won’t pill under subsequent layers. Always finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ as peptides do not replace photoprotection.

Does it need refrigeration to keep the peptides stable?

No—store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. The airless pump protects the actives from oxidation, so refrigeration is unnecessary unless you simply prefer the cooling sensation.
