This is Deciem´s response to mixing Peptides and Acids.

Our rule against combining strong antioxidants only applies to our products containing copper peptides. We would not recommend combining direct acids with peptides due to the susceptibility of peptides to hydrolysis (which breaks the bonds between peptides, reducing their efficacy, and making them into individual amino acids). At low pH, the peptides undergo processes such as deamidation (the removal of an amide group) and oxidation, which compromise the activity of the peptides.

Having said that, if you have previously combined peptides with acids and have not experienced any adverse side effects or discolouration, you may continue to combine the two products as so as the combination does not pose any potential harm. Our recommendations are meant to serve as a preventative measure to avoid any incompatibility between those combinations and also because skin tolerance is subjective. Hope this helps!

What is the PAO of Buffet + Copper Peptides?

The period after opening is 6 months.

What is the colour, texture and smell of The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides?

The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Reviews

The Ordinary Buffet + Copper currently scores 4.4/5 on the Deciem website. Deciem Chat Room is about your honest thoughts and reviews, and you can read more and interact with the Deciem Addicts on Instagram.

Tracy  I love it. Much nicer consistency than the regular Buffet. Beautiful colour and texture. Keeps my skin hydrated and fine lines at bay.

Nia Patten My review is- “Buffet and Copper peptides have fantastic ingredients, and I recommend for a gentle long-term way to tackle ageing. Unfortunately, I have to use azelaic acid morning and night for my acne, so I haven’t been able to give it a fair trial.”

Anna Buffet+Copper: I use this stuff every night, no-fail and I love it. It has a beautiful, silky feel and gives my skin glowy, firm and smooth.

ST says: I’ve been using Buffet + Copper Peptides for a few weeks with The Ordinary Matrixyl in the evening and the results are already evident, smooth skin, fleshed out plump.

TEF says: Definitely a 5 out of 5 for The Ordinary Buffet + Copper. If I could give it a 10, I would. Not only does it help with lines, wrinkles, texture irregularities, and dehydration. It also helps to repair the skin. My dark spots and broken skin from acne heal so much faster. My skin is healthier and looks younger. There’s nothing I dislike about Buffet+Copper. I know Buffet+Copper isn’t active or acid, but I still suggest introducing it slowly into your routine.

More Reviews Buffet + Copper Peptides

SA says: I would rate Buffet + Copper a 5/5. It just made my skin so soft, clear, and plump with just 1 week into using it people have started to notice a difference in my skin. I use it in AM and PM and all over my face including over and under eyes.. simply love it.

MM says 5/5 for The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides. My skin was already in a very good state, with a well-established skincare routine when I started using it.
And yet, after a few days of use, I noticed that I couldn’t feel the bit of tightness I felt after cleansing. My skin was deeply moisturised. 
My advice to other users? Buy it. Yesterday. You need this, but you just don’t know it yet.

KP says 5 of 5! Buffet + Copper Peptides has helped my skin tremendously, and my lines are less visible than ever. It´s my holy grail for sure. It might be a bit tacky, but nothing the moisturizer won’t change.

LSH says 2/5. I want to love Buffet + Copper Peptides because of the ingredients, and it’s a cheaper alternative to NIOD, but it seems like every time I start using it, I get blackheads.

LL says 0/5. I had no problems arise with Buffet + Copper, but I used it for over a month, and it did nothing for my skin.
