Clinical Skin 5-7 Day Deluxe Mini Trial Polypeptide Firming Serum, Perfect for Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Night & Day Anti-Aging Serum with Antioxidants & Hyaluronic Acid (Sample Size)

The packaging is absolutely beautiful and the products are luxurious. The serum, vitamin C and tool work well together and my skin felt more hydrated and smooth.

I don’t have very troublesome skin, but it IS very dry. Around this time of year (live in the Midwest), my skin freaks out a bit due to temp changes. I’ve noticed way less dryness and flaking. I almost think I could get away with not using my normal serum on top. There’s not really a scent, which is nice given all the things already smelling up my face. ;) I’m hoping to see anti-aging benefits with continued use. I’ve only had it a couple weeks.

I gave this sample pack a try and I like a lot about this product. It has no scent, very light and goes on easily, absorbs nicely, and it does work. My skin looks really nice afterwards. But if I don't use it for a few days, it goes back to the same as it was. Not sure if it's a product that just creates a firming/stretch coating on the skin to give the illusion of firmness or if it really will keep it that way with time. The trial pack isn't enough to really determine that.

I get positive results whenever I use this product continuously. I love the way it makes my skin look, softer, more radiant and well-nourished. And I especially like the fact that it doesn't take forever to see results. I noticed my skin's texture changing for the better within one week. You get a generous amount and a little goes a long way.

Feels nice on skin. No adverse reactions. I have been using it for a while and it did improve my skin's softness and its very moisturizing. My skin doesn't feel tight or dry during winter. However, the sample packages are difficult to use and dispense product. It's a great idea that the company is offering trial sizes for trying before buying in larger quantities but wish it came in a more user friendly tiny jar or tube instead of a condiment-like pouch. I emptied everything into an old empty tiny jar myself for convenience. Overall nice serum.

I mostly gravitate towards retinol and glycolic acid to do most of the heavy lifting in my skin care routine. However I can't use those all the time as they are quite harsh. Therefore I use peptides, vitamin c, collagen, and other less harsh active ingredients on my off days.This peptide serum is really nice. It is light weight and absorbs very very quickly. So far it works well under all moisturizers sunscreen I've tried. It doesn't feel heavy, oily, or leave any residue on the skin after application. There is minimal scent, which is a plus in my book, and a smaller than pea sized amount is more than enough to cover my whole face. I used this for a few months now and I've definitely noticed my skin looking more moisturized. My skin also feels much smoother.Overall my impression is that this does work. However it is considerably more pricy and I have had other peptide serums at half the price that work nearly as well. That being said this one is completely weightless and I can't say that about all creams.

This Clinical+ Skin Polypeptide Firming Serum (pack of 2) makes a highly giftable impression. My skin is dry, sensitive and mature (55+) and this agrees with my skin well, though it doesn’t feel as hydrating as expected. I do like that this lacks parfum/fragrance and fragrant essential oils as they can aggravate my skin. I’ve been using this serum 1x-2x a day for about 10 days, and it hasn’t made by sensitive skin irritated or caused any discomfort. Directions say to use one droplet, but I use a generous amount for my face, neck and décolleté.This serum has a weightless feel, isn’t oily or sticky, absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. It has hyaluronic acid (HA) that quickly and temporarily plumps my skin and minimizes the appearance of my fine lines. In that way, this serum is hydrating and my skin gets a softer, smoother and somewhat firmer appearance from the outset. I do normally use other serums that hydrate my skin and make it look radiant and feel this one is best paired with a rich face cream. I do feel my skin has looked good overall since using this serum.This serum doesn’t dry or irritate my skin, but my initial reaction was that it feels like it contains some drying alcohol. In checking, I was surprised it doesn’t have alcohol. It does have “acetic acid” found in vinegar and it can dry or irritate skin. I don’t know the % here and it may not be enough for others to notice, but I feel it’s probably why this serum doesn’t feel as hydrating and comforting as I’d expect from the ingredient profile. Or it may just be that I’m used to more hydrating serums as I do seek them out.This serum has a lot for hydrating and/or replenishing the skin barrier, such as ceramides, peptides, cholesterol, glycerin, HA, plankton, zinc PCA and more. Also, peptides can improve the look of wrinkles and make skin look firmer, though Paula’s Choice says a lack of evidence exists to show peptides stop sagging, match the results of cosmetic procedures, etc. This has Vitamin C and Ergothioneine for skin tone and dark spots and other anti aging antioxidants. I would like to know the % of ascorbic acid to see how it compares to ascorbic acid serums I’ve used a long time.This appears to be a high quality serum with peptides and many other ingredients with potential to improve my main skin concerns, such uneven skin tone, hydration, firming and wrinkles. While some benefits are immediate, I do feel it will take many weeks or months to fully assess many benefits such as firming. I will definitely continue use and like it so far, so I’m rating it 4 stars. I’ll update my review and rating as appropriate if I notice further firming and other benefits (and the system allows changes). Made in the USA.
