Today I am sharing with you how Depology’s Argireline™ Peptide Serum works for deep wrinkle reduction and overall anti-aging for your skin!
I loved their Matrixyl 3000 serum so much, I had to give this one a try too.
The way this serum works is fascinating!
Let’s check it out.
How This Argireline™ Peptide Serum Works For Deep Wrinkles
I love researching highly effective skincare products you can use to avoid having to get injectables. This is my goal with science-based skincare.
Depology Peptide Complex 10% Serum formulated with Argireline™ peptide is one of these potent products you will see results with after using for 28 days. I saw results after using this serum twice per day for two weeks especially on my forehead area where I have wrinkles.
So, What is Argireline™ Peptide Complex 10% Serum?
This Peptide Complex Anti-Wrinkle Serum utilizes the ingredient Argireline™ peptide. This is a trade mark name for the substance peptide acetyl hexapeptide-3. If you remember from previous articles, peptides are short sequences of amino acids that serve as the foundation for proteins such as collagen and elastin, making them crucial for healthy and youthful looking skin.
What makes this one so unique is the ability it has to minimize muscle movement and the associated wrinkles. This is the first peptide with a specific impact on expression wrinkles.
It is about the closest substance you can come to as Botulinum Toxin (injectables), but without having to use a needle.
This peptide is often referred to as “Botulinum Toxin In Jar.”
Unlike injectables though, you won’t have to worry about long term side effects.
How Does Argireline™ Peptide Serum Work?
Argireline™ peptide works by blocking the neurotransmitters that cause muscle contractions in the skin. Many of our wrinkles are caused from small muscle movements occurring on our face over and over again. If you tend to “furrow your brow” when you are concerned, and you get concerned all the time, this constant muscle movement will cause wrinkle formation. Many other movements can cause wrinkles like frowning, drinking from a straw, and anything like this occurring over and over.
By blocking these neurotransmitters, Argireline™ peptide works to minimize those wrinkles in a safe and non-invasive way!
What Are The Benefits Of This Peptide Complex Serum For Your Skin?
This serum is a great alternative to injectables and recommended by dermatologists all over the world because it is very safe and effective.
Here are some benefits you will see using this serum:
Increased Hydration
Argireline™ peptide increases moisture levels in the skin and helps skin retain moisture.
Wrinkle Reduction
These natural ingredients relax face muscles, preventing the formation of new wrinkles all over the face and neck areas. This powerful formula helps to hydrate and promote cell turnover which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Youthful Appearance
This peptide stimulates collagen production resulting in a youthful and lifted appearance.
Good For Sensitive Skin
Allergies, skin rashes, and other negative immunological reactions are uncommon when using Argireline™ ingredients in skincare. This is an important one for me because I have very eczema prone skin, so many things will give me a reaction. This serum and eye cream did not!
How To Use This Serum:
Argireline™ peptide works well in water-based products rather than alcohol-based ones. This also pairs well with the matrixyl 3000 we talked about previously.
- Cleanse your skin and apply a toner if you use one.
- Apply a few drops of serum to your fingers, then rub gently around your skin. Make sure to apply generously to areas where age lines form easily such as forehead or in between the eyebrows.
- Apply other water-based serums at this time, then top with your favorite eye cream (more about the eye cream below)and face cream.
Be sure to check out our guide on layering skincare products.

You can also get the benefits of Argireline™ Peptide in the Depology Peptide Complex Wrinkle Defense Eye Cream. This eye cream has the benefits mentioned in the serum, but in a unique cream formulated for around your eyes.
How To Use Peptide Complex Eye Cream
You can incorporate this eye cream like you would any other eye cream.
- Start by cleansing the skin.
- After applying serums to your face and allowing it to dry, you will apply your eye cream at the same time you do your regular face cream. I always apply my eye cream first and gently dab around the entire area concentrating on the outer part too (the crows feet area).
- For the most efficient results, it is recommended to use Argireline™ peptide formula at least twice a day, in the morning and night.
Remember, a good rule of thumb in skin care is to apply products from thinnest to thickest. You can learn more about layering skincare products in this guide we referenced above.
This peptide eye cream is especially beneficial for those with skin prone to dehydration, as well as those with aging signs and unwanted symptoms, such as crow’s feet or wrinkles around the eyes.
When Do You See Results Using This Peptide Formula?
Always allow at least 28 days to see results with a new skincare product. The studies for Depology Argireline™ Peptide showed on average, wrinkle volume diminished by 20.6% in users, and the overall length of fine lines were reduced by 15.9%. In addition to these results, roughness, and depth of wrinkles were also visibly decreased in participants’ appearance.

Not something I need as at the age of 60 I still have very few wrinkles and none of them deep but have a sister 7yrs younger then me who really could do with it
Alexis says
That is wonderful you are 60 and don’t have any deep wrinkles! That is awesome! But anyone who is struggling with wrinkles and aging would really benefit from this one 🙂
Marie Hoadley says
I use a retinoid cream on my face at night, followed after a while by night moisturiser. Would ARGIRELINE™ PEPTIDE SERUM be compatible with the retinol. As the retinol cream (a prescription strength, not OTC) does not really work on my deep wrinkles I would like to try ARGIRELINE™ PEPTIDE SERUM along with it but unsure of layering. I do not use the retinol during the day. The Fre brand is not available in my country but a different brans is. What should I watch out for?
Alexis says
This is a water-based serum, and it is compatible with retinols. After you wash your face, you will apply this Argireline serum. Then top with your retinoid team, then top with your moisturizer. You shouldn’t have any issues with irritation, but just watch out for redness, if your skin looks a little red or irritated, just use the Argireline in the morning when you are not using the retinoid. But I don’t think you will have any issues!
