Most people put peptide serum on like moisturiser. Too much, rubbed in hard, then judged after a long weekend.
That is why it pills, sits on the skin, or “does nothing.”
Rlabs Face Serum is the SNAP-8 + GHK-Cu serum. Light, daily, made to be pressed in. Here is the routine that matches the formula.
The 30-second method
1. Cleanse. Skin should be clean and dry.
2. Two to four drops in the palm. Warm it for a second.
3. Press over the face, then the neck and jaw. Do not drag it around the eyes.
4. Wait 30–60 seconds.
5. Moisturiser. In the morning, SPF after that.
Morning: cleanse, Face Serum, moisturiser, SPF. Night: cleanse, Face Serum, moisturiser.
If you also use the Glutathione Serum, put that on first, then the Face Serum on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. Thin before thicker. Cream last.
What each peptide is in there for
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is the expression-line peptide. It is there to help soften the look of lines from smiling, frowning and squinting.
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is the texture peptide. It is there for the look of smoother, firmer, more refined skin.
They are not the same job. That is why they sit in one serum.
Five mistakes that waste it
1. A full dropper. Two to four drops covers the face and neck. More sits on top and pills under cream.
2. Rubbing it in. Press and pat. Rubbing is what makes serum ball up.
3. Skipping SPF in the morning. The serum is step two. Sunscreen is what finishes the morning.
4. Stacking a strong acid or retinoid the same night, straight away. Alternate nights until your skin is settled.
5. Quitting on day three. Week one is mostly how skin feels. The look of softer expression lines and smoother texture is a 4–8 week window, used like brushing your teeth.
How much, how often
Morning and night. Every day. A 30ml bottle used at 2–4 drops lasts well past the point where you can judge it.
Patch test first. External cosmetic use only. Stop if irritation shows up.
Shop the SNAP-8 + GHK-Cu Face Serum. Pair it with the Glutathione Cream if you want one routine instead of guessing the order.
