When shopping for a face cream, I always wonder ~ how do I know the ingredients on the label are actually potent or viable?
After trying countless promise making products that don’t deliver, it’s safe to say we’re all skeptical at this point!
So I was excited when I learned Limitless Biotech – where we purchase our real peptides – also offers a topical serum and cream.
I chose the serum and will share my makeup free results.
First, a necessary explanation ~
I purchased the Age Defying wrinkle reduction serum a few months ago.
Even though it’s fragrance free, it had a light scent. Full disclosure, I can often smell things when many other people swear there is no scent.
The scent is not bad, and actually disappears fairly quickly, but we are a 100% fragrance free household, so this was an outlier for me.
I decided I would use it only on my neck, the sides of my face and my forehead (not cheeks, under eyes, or near my nose)
I know this is odd and of course I could still smell it as I was applying 🙂
I use it once per day in the morning and have been for approximately 3 months.
My application method unintentionally caused a before and after simultaneously on my face
and can’t believe the difference 👀

Realizing the results
A few days ago, I caught my profile in the mirror and noticed both sides of my face, where I had been applying the serum, were completely clear and smooth.
My forehead changed too, but slowly and results from this serum weren’t something I was thinking about – until I was.
My freckles and spots remain only where I wasn’t using the serum.

I never planned to write about this product because I didn’t want to recommend a product that isn’t fragrance free (even if the fragrance is not something added)
But take a look at this photo:

Here’s an earlier photo of the side of my face (before using the serum):

Thankfully I’ve acclimated to the scent and recently began using it on my entire face, like a normal person, so hopefully it will even out 😳
It’s not just the freckles
The texture of my skin is very noticeably softer, smoother and firmer everywhere I’ve been using the serum.
I have photos from 2023 where I have wrinkles on my forehead that are now barely visible.
Important to know: I haven’t ever used Botox, fillers or anything else that would contribute in any way to these results (other than the oral bioregulator capsules, Collacell which I’ll mention below).


This serum simply works – much better than any other anti-aging or peptide topical product I’ve tried.
(You can tell because I’ve been using different ones, on my entire face 😉 for a few years)

If you’re looking for a topical peptide product and don’t mind a bit of scent, it’s definitely one to consider
~ Perhaps as a Mother’s Day or just because gift to yourself! 🌸🌷🌼


A full ingredient breakdown is below.
• It’s texture is more of a light cream (it’s not a thin serum)
To get it:

Discount code: QUALITY for 20% off any Limitless products
As I mentioned at the start, I was glad I could trust it included “real” and potent peptides, unlike creams you get from a beauty store – when you often can’t be sure.
If you prefer a cream, they have one here: https://limitlesslifenootropics.com/product/anti-wrinkle-research-formula the ingredients are slightly different and I have no experience with it or its scent but I’ve been told it also has a faint one too.
• Side note: while you’re shopping, Oxytocin is finally available again!
Some other peptides we love from Limitless: Selank, ARA290, and more listed at this page.
Ingredient breakdown
Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: A base that provides hydration and anti-inflammatory properties.
Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin.
Dimethyl MEA (DMAE): Known for its potential skin-firming and lifting effects.
Copper Peptide: A regenerative peptide that boosts collagen and elastin synthesis to improve skin firmness and elasticity over time. It also acts as an antioxidant to help repair damaged tissue and even out skin tone.
Argireline Peptide: Known for smoothing dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines and crow’s feet by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for these expressions.
Squalene: A moisturizing agent that mimics the skin’s natural oils to prevent moisture loss.
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: A plant-derived hydrator that plumps the skin by holding onto water molecules.
Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): Uses “matrikines” to signal skin repair. It can boost collagen synthesis significantly, helping to reduce the overall density and volume of wrinkles.
SNAP-8: Functions similarly to Argireline but is often considered more potent; it can reduce the depth of expression wrinkles by up to 63% with consistent use.
Leuphasyl® (Pentapeptide-18): Specifically targets the “11” lines between the brows and forehead wrinkles by reducing the muscle contraction that causes them.
Syn-Ake: Mimics a protein found in snake venom to provide a “freezing” effect on deep expression lines, leading to a smoother appearance within weeks.
Syn-Coll: Actively boosts collagen production and protects existing collagen from degradation, focusing on overall anti-aging and skin texture improvement.
Syn-Tacks: Improves skin firmness by strengthening the connection between the different layers of the skin (the Dermal-Epidermal Junction).
Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): A classic antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental damage.
Carbomer: A thickening agent used to create texture.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyld: Part of the Syn-Ake complex, focusing on topical muscle relaxation.
Silk Amino Acids: Provide a smooth feel and help with moisture retention on the skin’s surface.
Organic Jojoba Oil: An oil that provides deep hydration and balances natural sebum.
Organic Argan Oil: Rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E to nourish and soften the skin.
Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin: A conditioning agent and preservative enhancer.
Phenoxyethanol: A common preservative used to keep the product safe and shelf-stable.
I actually do store mine in the refrigerator, but it’s not a requirement.
To stack with the topical
Collacell, the collagen bioregulor (in capsules from Vita Stream) made a very noticeable difference in my skin elasticity – body wide.
I highly recommend it as a skin anti-aging add on and you can read more about it in my bioregulator post, here.
Note: It is not like ‘collagen peptides’ which are simply fragments of collagen – it signals your body to make more of its own collagen.
