Ultra Peptide Cream 22 ml

The Ultra Peptide Cream by Josh Rosebrook is a highly concentrated treatment between a serum and a cream. At its core is a multilayered peptide complex made up of three biomimetic peptides - Hexapeptide-11, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - along with peptides from pea and quinoa. The combination is designed to address visible signs of declining firmness and help the skin appear smoother, plumper and firmer over time.

• Product type: highly concentrated peptide treatment between a serum and a lightweight cream
• Skin types: suitable for all skin types; especially recommended for mature, dehydrated or elasticity-lacking skin as well as combination skin
• Main benefits: helps fine lines appear reduced and the skin appear smoother, plumper and firmer
• Peptide complex: three biomimetic peptides plus plant peptides from pea and quinoa
• Barrier support: niacinamide, Ceramide NP, ferments and skin-conditioning lipids
• Texture: featherlight, velvety and satin-matte - without a heavy cream feel
• How to use: for combination skin, use as a lightweight final moisturizer; for dry skin, use as a treatment cream under a richer moisturizer
• Quality: vegan, cruelty-free, made in the USA

Peptides alone do not make a perfect anti-aging treatment. That is why Josh Rosebrook combines them with niacinamide, Ceramide NP and Saccharomyces ferment as well as a carefully balanced lipid base of olive, marula, tamanu, baobab and sesame oils. This means it not only addresses fine lines and elasticity, but also supports hydration, the skin barrier and skin comfort at the same time.

What is particularly noteworthy is the texture: Despite the plant oils, the Ultra Peptide Cream feels light, velvety and almost weightless. It leaves no rich cream feel, but a soft, satin-matte finish. This makes it especially interesting for mature skin seeking effective anti-aging care without a heavy cream - and equally suitable for combination and oilier skin.

It also works excellently for dry skin, although in that case it is best used as a concentrated treatment step under an additional cream or balm. This makes it very flexible to integrate into different routines.

Key ingredients

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 are among the best-known signal peptides in modern skincare. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can influence various biological signaling pathways within the skin. These two peptides are used particularly in formulations for mature skin and support a smoother, firmer and more elastic-looking complexion. Rather than temporarily filling wrinkles with a superficial film, they are intended as long-term care for visible changes in the skin's structure.
• Hexapeptide-11 expands the complex with another biomimetic peptide. It consists of six amino acids and is obtained biotechnologically. In cosmetic formulations, it is primarily used to support the care of skin elasticity, firmness and structure. Together with the two palmitoyl peptides, this creates not a single "hero ingredient," but a multilayered peptide complex with different signaling structures.
• Pea and quinoa peptides complement the synthetically produced biomimetic peptides with plant-based protein building blocks. Processing the plant proteins produces smaller peptides and amino acids that condition the skin and support hydration. They therefore provide less of a single spectacular effect than a nutrient-rich supporting matrix around the more targeted signal peptides.
• Niacinamide is one of the most versatile components of the formula. Vitamin B3 supports the production of important skin lipids such as ceramides, thereby strengthening the barrier function. At the same time, it improves moisture retention and, with regular use, can visibly improve fine lines, uneven pigmentation, skin texture and elasticity. This is exactly why niacinamide works so well with peptides: It complements firmness-focused care with barrier support, evenness and skin comfort.
• Ceramide NP and hydrogenated lecithin support the skin's lipid structure. Ceramides naturally belong to the most important components of the stratum corneum and are located there, so to speak, between the skin cells, where they help retain water in the skin and shield it from external influences. Lecithin also contains skin-like phospholipids. Together, they strengthen the barrier-focused aspect of the Ultra Peptide Cream - an important point, because mature skin not only loses elasticity but often also lipids and moisture.
• Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate and radish root ferment bring the biotechnological side of the formula into play. During fermentation, smaller amino acids, sugars, minerals and other metabolites are produced that can condition the skin and support hydration. These are not living "probiotics," but ferment-based or postbiotic ingredients.
• Olive, marula, tamanu, baobab and sesame oils provide a broad spectrum of skin-conditioning fatty acids and natural accompanying compounds. Marula and olive oils primarily provide oleic acid, while sesame and baobab oils also deliver relevant amounts of linoleic acid. Tamanu oil is characterized by distinctive secondary plant compounds. The oil blend supports softness and lipid balance, but is formulated so that the cream feels light and velvety rather than rich and greasy.

Clinically tested

Josh Rosebrook had the Ultra Peptide Cream evaluated in an independent consumer self-assessment with 35 women and men between the ages of 40 and 70. All participants showed visible signs of mature skin such as early lines and wrinkles as well as dry, dull skin.

After regular twice-daily use, participants reported:

• 88% reported improved skin texture and visibly more radiance
• 85% reported firmer and plumper-looking skin
• 88% reported smoother, healthier and more radiant-looking skin
• 82% reported more elastic and supple-looking skin

The results are based on the subjective assessment of the participants and should therefore be distinguished from instrumental measurements.

How to use

• Apply morning and/or evening after cleansing, toner and serum.
• Distribute a small, approximately pea-sized amount over the face and neck and gently work it in.
• For a hydrating base, use the Hydrating Accelerator beforehand.
• For combination and oilier skin, the Ultra Peptide Cream can be the final skincare step.
• For dry or lipid-depleted skin, apply a richer cream or balm over it afterward.
• For an antioxidant-focused morning routine, it combines very well with the C Complex Serum.
• In the morning, always finish the routine with a suitable sunscreen.

FAQ

Is the Ultra Peptide Cream a cream or a serum?
It is actually somewhere in between. Josh Rosebrook calls it a Facial Serum Concentrate. It contains the concentrated active ingredients of a serum but has a lightweight cream emulsion. Combination skin can therefore use it as its sole final moisturizer, while dry skin can apply a richer cream afterward.

Which peptides does the Ultra Peptide Cream contain?
The formula contains three biomimetic peptides - Hexapeptide-11, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - as well as plant-based peptides from pea and quinoa. The different types of peptides are combined to support skin structure, elasticity and a plumper appearance.

What does biomimetic peptide mean?
Biomimetic peptides are developed to imitate certain naturally occurring peptide structures or their functions. They consist of short chains of amino acids and are used specifically as signaling and conditioning ingredients.

Can the Ultra Peptide Cream reduce wrinkles?
The formulation is specifically designed to address visible signs of skin aging. With regular use, peptides, niacinamide, ceramides and the hydrating and lipid-providing base can help fine lines appear less pronounced and the skin appear smoother, plumper and more elastic. However, deep structural wrinkles do not disappear through the use of a cosmetic cream.

What does niacinamide do in the formula?
Niacinamide complements the peptides particularly well because it simultaneously supports the skin barrier, moisture retention, skin texture and evenness. This combination is especially valuable for mature skin: The treatment focuses not only on wrinkles, but also on the quality and resilience of the skin.

Is the Ultra Peptide Cream also suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin?
Yes. The texture is very lightweight and satin-matte. Josh Rosebrook explicitly positions it for combination, oilier and blemish-prone skin as well. In these cases, it can be a good alternative to classic rich anti-aging creams.

Is it rich enough for very dry skin?
Not always as a standalone cream. For dry and lipid-depleted skin, the Ultra Peptide Cream is especially effective as a concentrated peptide treatment under a richer cream or balm.

Can I combine peptides with vitamin C or retinoids?
Yes. Peptides can generally be integrated very well into routines with vitamin C or retinoids. With an extensive active-ingredient routine, it is particularly important to consider your skin's individual tolerance and provide sufficient barrier care.

Is the Ultra Peptide Cream vegan?
Yes. The formula contains no ingredients of animal origin.
