If you have been a follower of my blog, instagram or even my small youtube channel you will have already established that I am a huge fan of Elemis. If you have ever tried any of their products it easily goes without saying that Elemis is the UK no1. luxury skincare brand. Elemis is a British innovative brand which is driven by serious results. The Elemis Peptide4 is the perfect range for those looking for antioxidant rich skincare suitable for those in their 30s/ 40s or younger.
The Elemis Peptide4 Range
The Peptide4 or tetra-peptide range works with the body’s circadian rhythm. If you don’t know what the circadian rhythm is I have written a little about it here. Environmental stressors, travel, disruptive sleep patterns and the effects of our modern day to day lives all contribute to knocking our circadian rhythms out of sync. The products within the Peptide4 range work in sync with our skin’s natural repair.
Elemis Peptide4 Overnight Radiance Peel
The Peptide4 overnight radiance peel is my favourite from this range and additionally it is also the newest product in my skincare collection. This is the first time I’ve known Elemis use active ingredients in their products. Elemis is heavily centered around luxury products. This Radiance peel is a gentle lactic-acid lightweight milky texture. The skin can really benefit from the use of AHA’s and BHA’s, find out more about them here. It comes in the stunning purple-to-white gradient glass bottle with a pipette dropper. It is just the most beautiful packaging.
The radiance peel contains botanical oils so that it can nourish and hydrate the skin whilst also gently exfoliating revealing a brighter more glowing complexion. You can leave this serum on overnight, which I love. It definitely delivers on the results. My skin is brighter and glowing and generally I would use this twice to three times a week rather than nightly. It is as simple as a quick evening double cleanse, whack this on and follow up with moisturiser and you’re ready for bed.
This radiance peel retails at £58 for a generous 30ml.

Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream-Oil
The Peptide4 night recovery cream oil feels like a very luxurious skin treat. It feels like one of those products that you could leave out if you’re looking to save cash however, it has an undoubtedly a beautiful texture. This product delivers the hydration of a moisturiser but the protection and weight of an oil. The formula is very milky and lightweight too. This whole range is very heavily scented but it is a relaxing spa-like scent.
This cream-oil is rich in omega 3, Vitamin E and antioxidants. Its fabuolous at helping re-balance the skin and deliver a more nourished and restored complexion. This cream-oil retails at £49 for 30ml. In my opinion it is decent value for money but if you’re looking to save your pennies, however this is probably the one product from this range you can live without.
Elemis Peptide4 Adaptive Day Cream
The peptide4 adaptive day cream is formulated for all skin types. Having said that, it is perfect for you if you have oily or oily-combination skin because of it’s formulation. This day cream is perfect in my opinion for those in their 30’s or younger. It is a light-medium weight formula which applies easily and is featherweight on the skin.
The moisturiser is formulated with mineral microspheres. These spheres adapt to your skin throughout the day. Ultimately helping keep the midday shiny forehead at bay. This moisturiser helps deliver a mattifying finish without leaving the skin dry. The moisturiser is beautiful to apply and wear. Finally, it leaves the skin fantastically smooth and perfectly primed for makeup application. Alternatively you can use it just to protect you throughout the day. This moisturiser retails at £52 for 50ml which is a little on the pricey side. In my honest opinion 100% worth the spend.
