The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1%, GHK-Cu Anti-Aging Serum for Fine Lines and Skin Elasticity

REALLY LOVE this product ! I bought this based on the good reviews , and I’m SO glad I did ! I have oily skin, and I’m way past middle age, but this product did not make my skin oily, but it did bring moisture where I needed it. I’ve used this under my eyes, and it has really helped the very thin skin there . It absorbs quickly, and it has no scent. Plus it does not leave a sticky residue , and makeup can be applied over it. I’ve also used it on my neck daily , and I’m already seeing a tightening there as well. I bought a 2nd bottle because I don’t want to run out ! I remember years ago that I used to use a copper peptide serum , and I should’ve kept on using copper on my skin ! It’s basically a mineral that helps regenerate collagen growth ! Excellent product at a great price !

Great results and easy to use! I’ve really been enjoying The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1%. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well with the rest of my skincare without feeling sticky or heavy. My skin has been looking smoother, more refreshed, and overall healthier since I started using it. I love that a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts. It’s a great addition if you want something that helps with the appearance of fine lines and gives your skin a nice healthy glow. Definitely worth trying!

I’ve been using this serum for a little while now, and I’m really impressed with how it feels and performs on my skin. ⸻ Pros • 🌿 Lightweight texture – blends in quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. • ✨ Leaves skin silky and smooth – gives that soft, velvety finish. • 🧴 Layering-friendly – works well under moisturizer, sunscreen, or makeup. • 🧬 Peptide blend – supports skin elasticity and helps soften the look of fine lines. • 🪄 Copper peptides (1%) – known for boosting firmness, repair, and overall skin vitality. • 💧 Hydrating base – helps skin feel plump and refreshed. ⸻ Cons • 💲 A little pricier compared to some other The Ordinary serums. • ⏳ Results take consistency and patience (not an overnight fix). • ⚠️ If you already use retinoids or strong actives, you need to be mindful of layering. ⸻ Key Ingredients (in simple terms) • Multi-Peptides – signal the skin to support collagen and elasticity. • Copper Peptides (1%) – antioxidant and repair benefits, helps with firmness and overall resilience. • Humectants (like glycerin) – attract hydration to the skin. • Amino acids + skin-conditioning agents – keep skin soft and healthy. ⸻ Overall This serum is a fantastic addition to an anti-aging or skin-support routine. I love how lightweight it feels and how silky my skin feels afterward. With consistent use, I notice more plumpness and smoother texture. Definitely worth trying if you want a peptide-based boost to your skincare routine.

I've purchased this twice so far. I'm about to run out of my second bottle and planning to order another. I’m really into skincare — like I read ingredients, compare formulas, test things over time, and actually watch how my skin responds — so I didn’t just grab this randomly, I chose it on purpose becuase I’ve been wanting to incorporate more advanced peptides into my routine, especially copper peptides. I’ve used a lot of peptide products over the years (including higher-end ones), and I kept coming back to the idea that copper peptides are one of those ingredients that actually have research behind them when it comes to supporting skin repair and overall skin health. So I added The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% into my routine alongside my usual lineup — I microneedle monthly, use retinol regularly, and rotate in hydrating and barrier-support products — so I’m very aware of how something fits in and whether it’s doing anything or just sitting there. This serum is very lightweight, slightly watery but still has a bit of slip to it, and it layers easily without pilling which is huge for me since I don’t like adjusting my whole routine around one product. What I noticed pretty quickly is that it plays really well with my skin when I’m focusing on recovery and overall skin quality. My skin tends to tell me fast if something is irritating or not doing anything, and this felt supportive — especially on nights when I’m not using actives. It’s not one of those instant “wow overnight” products, but that’s not what I expect from something like this. This is more of a long game ingredient, and I treat it that way. I also like that it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and it doesn’t clog my pores (which I’ve had happen with richer “anti-aging” serums before). It fits really nicely into a routine where you’re already doing things like retinol, microneedling, or just trying to maintain skin health without overdoing it. If you’re someone who actually pays attention to ingredients and builds a routine intentionally, I think this is worth trying. It feels like one of those “support” products that helps everything else you’re doing work better over time rather than trying to be the star of the show.

This is a good serum. I used it before I started using retinol and saw an improvement in fine lines and some texture issues. It didn’t help with deeper wrinkles. I do still use it on nights I don’t use retinol. If you plan on trying this routine- start slowly and use a good moisturizer.

Great product. Within one week of using the serum (only at night), my pores minimized, the texture on my skin is gone, my skin feels tighter and has a glow. I opted to not use it in the morning, because it does cause the areas where I have hyperpigmentation from acne to peel. But overall I like the results and will continue.

As a woman over 50, I purchased The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum to target fine lines and improve skin elasticity. After using it for 6 weeks, I’m impressed with its performance. I'm skincare obsessed, so it takes a lot to impress me! After consistent use (once daily at night), I saw smoother texture around my eyes and mouth, with a slight firming effect on my cheeks. The copper peptides, known for supporting collagen, seem to help with elasticity. My skin feels plumper and looks more radiant, especially in the morning. However, results took about 3 weeks to appear. The serum has a lightweight, slightly viscous texture with a subtle blue tint from the copper peptides. It absorbs well into my combination skin without stickiness, but it can feel tacky if over-applied. I use 4–5 drops after cleansing, followed by a hydrating cream. The faint metallic scent dissipates quickly, which I appreciate as someone sensitive to fragrances. This serum is a steal compared to high-end alternatives like SkinCeuticals or Drunk Elephant. It’s pricier than other The Ordinary products but worth it for the peptide blend tailored to anti-aging. The affordability and efficacy make it a great addition to a skincare routine, especially if you’re budget-conscious but want science-backed ingredients. Tips: Apply at night to avoid interference with vitamin C products, as copper peptides can conflict with certain actives. Start with every other day if you have sensitive skin to prevent irritation. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the formula’s potency. I store my peptides and exosomes in my beauty fridge. Final Thoughts: The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% is a standout for women over 50 seeking affordable anti-aging benefits. It improves fine lines and elasticity with consistent use, though deeper wrinkles need complementary products. The price-to-performance ratio is excellent, making it ideal for those prioritizing budget-friendly, effective skincare. I’d recommend it to anyone on their anti-aging journey!

I’ve been on a mission to find the best skincare products that are actually backed by science and I happened to stumble upon this gem. 🤩 Is it the most potent GHK-Cu product out there? No, but it’s definitely one of the most stable and affordable products that you can buy, ESPECIALLY if you don’t know how your skin is going to react to GHK-Cu. The last thing you want to do is spend $$$ on something you won’t even be able to use. For reference, I added 2 screenshots of where this serum stands when compared to higher end copper peptides serums and where GHK-Cu in general stands in terms of effectiveness (for collagen production, skin elasticity, dermal regeneration). Hopefully this will help if you’re trying to decide whether or not you should buy it! As for my opinion on the product itself, I love the formulation, it doesn’t smell like anything when you put it on. When it dries it has the faintest metallic smell but it literally goes away in like 2 minutes 😭 I wait 2-3 mins until it dries and I follow up with hyaluronic acid (tret dries my skin) and LRP spf 30 moisturizer. I have oily sensitive skin and so far I haven’t had any irritation or pimples popping up! I’ve tried so many higher end products and honestly you cannot judge a product by the price. My skin could not tolerate Medik8 Liquid Peptide Serum AT ALL (I broke out in minutes) and it’s supposedly one of the best peptide serums on the market. Same with Skinceuticals C E Ferulic vit C serum, I REALLY wanted to love it (esp after spending $185 on it) but it did absolutely nothing. Medik8 C Tetra serum and No7 Radiance 15% however did wonders. What works for someone might not work for you and vice versa. If you’re never tried a type of chemical I suggest buying a low cost, stable formulation to see how your skin tolerates it. For example my skin loves GHK-Cu, but cannot tolerate most peptide blends (esp if they have Argireline)
