The mixture of both peptides to smooth the skin and amino acids to hydrate the skin is a powerful duo that my young skin appreciated - it also worked really well alongside my ordinary amino acid serum (I have a review on that so do check it out)! My skin not only feels great but it’s no longer so dull and dehydrated. Since I’m quite young, I didn’t really observe the benefits of smoothing fine lines and wrinkles so I can’t speak much on that behalf.
