Does Dr Roebuck's Ningaloo Copper Peptide Firming Serum work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Dr Roebuck's Ningaloo Copper Peptide Firming Serum:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.6 out of 10.

Basic moisturizer for oily skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr Roebuck's Ningaloo Copper Peptide Firming Serum is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 5.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%) and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.4%).

This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, can provide light humectant hydration in a fast-absorbing formula without any occlusive ingredients. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.

Tip: Certain studies suggest that humectants alone may not effectively moisturize the skin. If you use this product as your only moisturizer, we recommend following it with one that contains at least some occlusive ingredients.

Since it contains a moderate amount of humectants, it can also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr Roebuck's Ningaloo Copper Peptide Firming Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Copper Tripeptide-1 and Gluconolactone, two ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
