The global cosmetic peptide synthesis market is poised for significant expansion, with a published research report by Fact.MR projecting its valuation at US$244.2 million in 2024, growing at a 5.7% CAGR through 2034. This surge is driven by the increasing demand for advanced skincare solutions, particularly in the anti-ageing category, where peptides have emerged as a key ingredient for their ability to boost collagen, smooth wrinkles, and enhance skin elasticity.
Cosmetic peptides, small yet powerful amino acid chains, are at the forefront of skincare innovation. Their efficacy in addressing concerns like fine lines and skin firmness has made them a cornerstone in premium anti-ageing formulations. As consumer awareness of high-performance ingredients grows, brands are responding with advanced peptide technologies that deliver visible results. One of the latest innovations leading the charge is Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, a state-of-the-art serum featuring Dual MiniProteins technology, which is said to reduce expression lines in just 10 minutes and deliver deep-set wrinkle reduction in eight weeks.
Daniel Isaacs, Chief Product Officer at Medik8, describes the launch as a game-changer in anti-ageing skincare. Inspired by aesthetic treatments, the innovation combines pharmaceutical-grade precision with breakthrough peptide science, setting a new benchmark in wrinkle-targeting formulations. Engineered over 18 months, through seven independent studies and over 40 formula variations in a UK lab, Liquid Peptides Advanced MP fuses peptides with protein-like potency, ensuring deeper penetration and faster results.
I was fortunate enough to experience the product first-hand after being invited to a private appointment at FENN, Paddington, for a bespoke cleanse and application of the product.
Using VISIA Skin Analysis, a before photo was taken before the product was applied and left on for ten minutes. After cleansing, my face was scanned again using VISIA Skin Analysis, which provides an in-depth diagnostic assessment of the skin’s characteristics, objectively evaluating its health and condition before and after application.
Though subtle, there was an immediate improvement in my skin’s hydration levels and a noticeable reduction in fine lines.
