UpCircle Peptide Serum with Upcycled Custard Apple + Blood Orange 30ml

A brightening, antioxidant serum built around Niacinamide and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a stable Vitamin C derivative), formulated to even out skin tone. Tripeptide-1 supports the skin's natural collagen production, helping soften the look of fine lines over time — and using peptides alongside the rest of your routine can help other products work a little harder too. The formula uses upcycled Custard Apple, which supports skin resilience, and upcycled Blood Orange water to help protect skin against everyday environmental stress — part of UpCircle's approach to using surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste. Vegan and cruelty-free. Made in the UK.
