*BEST* Copper Peptide Serum? The Ordinary Vs NIOD

You can pay a little or you can pay a lot. Today, copper peptide is on the chopping block. I know, shocker.

I'm basically a lyrical genius. Today, as promised, I'm going to be comparing Nyod's copper peptide serum to the Ordinary's copper peptide serum. When I asked you all, do you want this comparison?

You said with a resounding strong, loud, reverberant echoing off the walls, yes. Here we are. As promised, you clicked in this video probably already knowing in advance that there is a market price differential between these two products.

The Niod copper amino isolate serum is a whopping $62 for a tiny 15 ml bottle to get you started on the journey. Whereas the Ordinary Multipeptide Plus Copper Peptides 1% serum, previously known as the Buffet, is a more meager $32. not for a tiny little 15 ml starter bottle, but a 30 ml fulls size bottle.

That's a lot of money saved right there. To remind you all, um, in summary, copper peptides, they're small. They have a decent chance of penetrating well into the skin.

They are well known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, as well as for perhaps supporting wound healing and better collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. They've been shown clinically in human volunteers to improve the thickness of the epidermis and the dermis as well as skin elasticity. These are things that you know kind of wayne wax as we get up there in years and we want to try and remediate.

Now copper peptide it's got research behind it but it's not super robust. It's not like randomized control trials but there is some there and a lot of people just like using them and find that their skin looks better. Now, aside from the obvious price differences between these two, The Ordinary, you've got a subtle hexaipeptide 8.

That is one we should be recognizing at this point if you are one who dabbles a lot in the peptide arts because that is the well-known argerene, the quote unquote Botox in a bottle. That has actually been shown when applied consistently around the eyes to diminish wrinkle depth around the eyes. And when applied to the face, you get a diminishment in wrinkle depth.

And it helps objectively in clinical volunteers to improve skin moisturization. But it's not just our giralene in this serum. It's also it's its cousin partner confidant pentapeptide 18.

Uh sounds demonic. Lufacil is the trade name for this. And actually it works so well alongside our girling to impart sort of a wrinkle smoothing effect that this to me is one of the more eye-catching if you will um manufacturer studies on their peptides in that you take 5% lufosil alone.

Apply it for 28 days and you get a reduction in wrinkles amongst volunteers roughly around 11%. You add argeralene 5% to that 5% lufosil, you now have arjira is a branded name and you go from a reduction in wrinkles from 11% with just lufacil all the way to at least a whopping 25%. I think that's really compelling because it kind of suggests that at least somebody in this mix is actually doing something maybe above and beyond simply improving hydration.

So you get the two the two of those are our Jira locks. Okay. Then you get um a pairing of peptides that many of you might recognize.

Maybe not on first glance and reading the ingredient list cuz these names are long. You get palm oil tripeptide 1 plus its partner palm oil tetropeptide 7. You guessed it that dynamic duo is Matrixle 3000.

This is one of the more evidence-based peptide pairings for diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. 3% Matrixel 3000 applied twice daily resulted in a reduction in wrinkle depth around 39. 4% and also almost a lifting a tightening effect of the skin.

Then you've got synake. Senake has a really long complicated name but sin is its brand and name. When you apply 4% synake for 28 days you get you guessed it a reduction in uh wrinkle fewer wrinkles and you also get smoother skin.

This also has another um jazzy little uh peptide known as rease. And this is a a peptide that is thought to work by inhibiting elast. It's the enzyme that is responsible for chewing up some of our elastic tissue and resulting in a decline in skin elasticity.

Now whether or not you put this on your skin and it actually objectively inhibits the enzyme activity in your skin remains to truly be determined. Okay. But it has been shown when applied at 4% strength for eight weeks of dedication to lead to a 14% improvement in elasticity and a 15.

6% improvement in skin tightness. Importantly, this was done in women in their upper 40s. So, mature skin as they like to call it.

And no, it's not a spicy movie. It's just an age group. This is in contrast to the Niod copper amino isolate serum which again is substantially more expensive.

The copper amino isolate serum from Niod. It doesn't have our guralene. It doesn't have metatricxel 3000.

It doesn't have lufahil or gurillocks the combination of arjirylene and and pentipeptide 18. It does not have synake. It does not have relates.

So there are some other peptides in addition to what um Niod is offering that result in at least from manufacturer studies further diminishment and wrinkle depth. And again, I really think that our our Jerox data is is probably some of the most intriguing when it comes to peptides u from manufacturer studies, which again, you know, we're not going to we're not going to be, you know, prescribing this to people with endstage wrinkles or anything, but it is compelling. You don't get that with with the Niod.

So, you also don't get reel, the peptide that, you know, allegedly inhibits elast. Now, here's the thing. where we're just going to have a big question mark.

Is having all of these other peptides plus the copper peptide the ideal package to deliver the results that you want in comparison to a serum without these that for all we know maybe has a lot more rigor behind the formula as far as the supporting characters in terms of the overall stability etc. big unknowns here. Like if we were able to get, I don't know, a hundred mature women and put 50 of them in an arm that used Niod and 50 of them in an arm that used uh The Ordinary, would we really see any difference?

Hard to say. We're not going to get studies like that. When you choose to pay more for Niod's copper peptide serum, you are choosing to abandon some of these other compelling peptides and just really focus on a select set of of peptides here and you're paying more for fewer ingredients, but maybe maybe for all we know a better overall formulation.

I don't know. I kind of tend to doubt that and think to myself, Niad and The Ordinary, these are, you know, under the same umbrella of ownership, same type of R&D behind the ingredients formulations. I'm willing to bet that they probably, at least from the angle of the copper peptides, they probably perform similarly.

So, you're like, "Okay, great. Well, what what did you think, Dr Dr? " Some people don't care about my personal experience using products.

Other people ignore a review if I don't share my personal experience using it. They say, "How can you review something you never even used? " Well, I have used both of these.

I went through an entire bottle actually of The Ordinaries copper peptide serum about a year ago, kind of around the time that they released that pink barrier serum. I remember I I was using the copper peptide serum from The Ordinary and I was like, "Wow, you know, this is a really this is really helping my skin look a lot smoother, a lot clearer as far as overall skin tone, luminosity, radiance, and I really really enjoyed it. Just just using it I found to be beneficial.

I found it enjoyable and something that I look forward to using. I find that the Nion serum is fine. It works well as I said in my review on it, but I don't know.

I don't enjoy using it as much. I find it a bit more unwieldy. Texturally speaking, The Ordinary Serum has a little bit more substance to it and feels like you're putting more on than just a very thin liquid that slips through your fingers.

That's really just a personal preference. It doesn't necessarily speak to efficacy, per se. I also in the past used The Ordinaries Buffet.

um you know it's since been reformulated but long story short the ordinary copper peptide serum has been one of the most robust performing on my skin copper peptide serums out there having really given the Niod one a rigorous test found it to be effective beneficial I honestly don't really have a strong reason to encourage you all to buy the Niod one if you're interested in copper peptides because remember copper peptides are not required reading. You get pulled over by the cops, they're going to ask for license, registration, proof of insurance. They're not going to be inquiring about what kind of copper peptide you are using, and that's not going to be a determining factor in who your cellmate will be.

Take everything in in big picture terms, not required reading. These are things that you willingly are signing up for doing for, you know, the enjoyment of skin care and possible improvement in the visible appearance of wrinkles, skin texture, elasticity, smoothness. And I got to say, for those features alone, these two products perform on my skin, okay, on my skin the same.

I wish I could tell you how it performed on everyone else's skin, but we don't have clinical research to back that up. Here is where we are left standing. I would say this, try the ordinary one.

If you are interested in trying a copper peptide serum, it's very good. Now, you also get these other peptides in the product that have a track record of demonstration in human volunteers of diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, improving skin elasticity. So, you're getting something that likely will help to a certain extent in that product.

Here's when you should try the Niad one. Maybe for whatever reason you don't get along well with like Matrixel. You've tried that peptide pairing before and it irritated your skin.

you've tried our giralene before and you know for whatever reason it irritated your skin, you solely are intrigued by, you know, more of the copper peptide angle, then maybe you want to try the Niad one, although I suggest going with a smaller bottle to test it out first. The other reason to dabble in the Niod Art is if you've already used the Ordinary one, you're liking it. You genuinely get along well with copper peptides and find them to be very helpful in your routine and you're just interested.

You're your your interest has been peaked. Is an expensive product going to work better for me the same or not as good? in which case I would say hold your horses until November because these products I believe will likely go on sale in November.

So we are in the month I'm filming this in the month of March. So if it were me making this decision, by the time November rolled around, I would have completely forgotten this whole discourse probably. And many of you will forget you even watch this video because let's face it, it's not up for an Oscar or anything.

You know, when you're on that first date with someone and you're getting to know somebody and you're having that awkward moment where you reach for the bread basket at the same time and you're like, "Oh. " And you're thinking of things to ask and and maybe they're inquiring about what your favorite films are. Um, it might not come to your mind, especially if we're getting into the October months, that you have watched this video.

I don't have that soundtrack in this video to really solidify that memory in your in your mind. Um, I'm always in the palm of your hand though. You know, you can always scroll through your watch history and see what you watched and and that'll clue you in that you basically have have watched a Zepharelli 2.

0, but um, you might forget, in other words, that you were intrigued by this. So, if you forget about Niod come November, then I don't think it was meant to be for you. All right, y'all.

That is the rundown. These are both great. One's a lot cheaper than the other, so I don't think I need to spell it out too clearly for you all.

I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Do watch my video on Niad's copper amino isolate serum comparing it to their copper amino isolate lipid emulsion, which we didn't even really touch on today. Um, not a cheap product either.

Uh, so check that video out. Also, I've got a video about their um eye serum, which has a lot of the peptides that we talked about from The Ordinary that aren't in the Niod copper peptide serum. So, there's that, too.

Anyway, y'all, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Click the one on the end slate so you stay on my channel binging all of the skin care knowledge. Anyways, guys, I hope you enjoyed this video.

If so, give it a thumbs up, share it with your friends, and as always, don't forget sunscreen and subscribe. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Bye-bye.
