Remember, peptides can be MUCH smaller than proteins, and this affects how well these skincare ingredients absorb into the skin!
(Unlike topical collagen, which is too large to penetrate the outer layer of skin.)

Other familiar skincare ingredients in this serum are:

This is a LOT of peptides and skincare ingredients working together to help improve the appearance of wrinkles while strengthening skin.

The Ordinary’s “Buffet” 30 Day Review

For this review, we follow a simple skincare routine using The Ordinary’s “Buffet” on the left ring finger:

  • Daily AM and PM Skincare Routine:
    • Wash skin with warm water and soap.
    • Apply “Buffet” serum to cover skin.
    • Re-apply serum if it’s washed off throughout the day.

This peptide serum is an incredibly popular addition to a multi-step skincare routine.

However for this The Ordinary’s “Buffet” review, we will not apply any other skincare products to the skin.

Will this multi-technology peptide serum have noticeable improvements to the skin?

Unfortunately, any improvements to the skin aren’t exactly dramatic.

However, this was expected as with skincare products, there’s always the question of the whether the skincare ingredients are small enough to absorb into the skin efficiently.

And some peptides aren’t exactly “small”.

Perhaps after a bit more time, the improvements might be much more clear.

    30 day results using The Ordinary “Buffet” Peptide Serum

    We finally have the results of using only the The Ordinary’s Peptide Serum for 30 days:

    The final results were a bit surprising.

    We expected this serum to make a bigger difference to the skin.
    Especially the fine lines and wrinkles.

    However, our before and after results show only slight improvements in 30 days of using The Ordinary’s “Buffet” Peptide serum.

    This has us wondering if the size of the peptides used in this serum are too big and cannot be absorbed deep into the skin, where it might be more effective.
