Skincare brand COSRX is taking social media by storm with its 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum.
2024: 'The Year of the Peptide'
The 6 Peptide Serum is being praised by Harvard and Duke-educated dermatologist Dr. Charles Puza.
"2024 is going to be the year of the peptide thanks to its host of benefits,” said Dr. Puza. “Various peptides offer a multitude of advantages making it preferrable to incorporate a variety into a single serum. And Cosrx's The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum has done exactly that featuring not one but six peptides and six synergistic ingredients which include powerhouse ingredient, Copper Tripeptide. Together, this creates an innovative formula that simultaneously targets skin laxity, wrinkles, and pores. It also soothes, brightens and retexturizes to provide a comprehensive skincare solution leading many to view the product as ‘Botox in a bottle.’”
Peptides are a great option for users of all ages and skin types thanks to their non-irritating yet powerful benefits, according to skin care experts. But there's a way to elevate their results with one simple tip. Board certified dermatologist, Dr. Andrew Park states that "skin peptides can be especially powerful when incorporating it with other active ingredients..."
A peptide serum is the first step to prep the skin and create a canvas that encourages absorption of ingredients, per experts. It can then be paired with another synergistic active to target specific concerns, say dermatologists.
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky said the Cosrx serum prepares the skin for other products and layers on well. She recommends pairing it with the viral COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence claiming that the duo “gives you that intense hydration, super soothing, restores that skin barrier, retexturizes and brightens for that glazed donut look.” She calls the products a “power couple” for improving skin texture.
Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Retinol
In another clip that has already garnered 5.6 million views on TikTok, skin expert Dr. Zion Ko Lamm encourages users to get creative with their skincare routine, recommending they pair with vitamin C for brightening and hyperpigmentation, retinol for anti-aging and niacinamide for pores. This method of prepping and pairing also acts to reduce possible sensitivity caused by such highly potent actives, experts say.
