Copper PCA Peptides™

Skincare

€77,50

A dual-chamber antioxidant and peptide serum. The blue copper PCA and the white antioxidant phase are kept apart until you press the pumps, so the actives are fresh on application. Used morning and evening for firmness and free-radical protection.

  • Copper PCA — a mineral patented by Medik8 for its antioxidant power. It neutralises a broad spectrum of skin-damaging free radicals, and saturates cells with the vital energy needed to support collagen and elastin production.
  • Matrixyl 3000 — part of the advanced peptide complex, included to help lift and smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Superoxide dismutase — a super-antioxidant that adds to the serum's free-radical defence.
  • Dimethylmethoxy chromanol — a second super-antioxidant, working alongside superoxide dismutase.

How to use

  1. Apply after cleansing, each morning and evening.
  2. Mix a single dose from each pump on the back of your hand.
  3. Apply a small amount to face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area.
  4. Use light, upward strokes and allow to absorb before moisturising.

Follow with sun protection in the morning.

FAQ

What was this called before?
It was previously known as Firewall. It is the same serum under the Copper PCA Peptides name.
Why does it have a dual-chamber pump?
The two phases are kept apart until you dispense them, which maximises stability and potency so the actives are still working when they reach the skin.
Does it have a scent?
No. The formula is neutral-scented, with no artificial fragrance.
Can I use it morning and evening?
Yes. Medik8 directs you to apply it after cleansing both morning and evening, following with sun protection in the morning.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes — it is vegan friendly and cruelty free, and formulated without parabens, phthalates, synthetic colours or alcohol.

Recharge. Defend. Renew.

Copper PCA Peptides — previously known as Firewall — is an antioxidant serum built around copper PCA, a mineral patented by Medik8 for its antioxidant power. It neutralises a broad spectrum of skin-damaging free radicals, and works to renew and rebuild the skin by saturating cells with the energy needed to support collagen and elastin production.

It is enriched further with an advanced complex of age-defying peptides including Matrixyl 3000, plus the super-antioxidants superoxide dismutase and dimethylmethoxy chromanol. The neutral-scented formula sinks in rapidly, and the dual-chamber pump keeps the two phases apart to maximise stability and potency.
