PURCELL 82% High Dose Peptide Formula is a watery peptide serum whose first ingredient, at 82%, is saccharomyces/hexapeptide-11 ferment filtrate, with palmitoyl tripeptide-5, hydrolysed collagen, carnitine and adenosine. It helps skin look smoother, bouncier and firmer, with a fresh, dewy finish.

What it does

The hexapeptide-11 ferment and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 are signalling peptides used for the look of firmness and fine lines. Hydrolysed collagen, glycerin and betaine keep skin hydrated and plump-looking, and adenosine supports smoother-looking skin. The "82%" is the share of the ferment filtrate in the bottle, not 82% pure peptide.

Why we chose it

It is a short, 14-ingredient formula with no fragrance, acids or retinoid listed, so it slots easily into a routine that already has a retinoid. It pairs with PURCELL Pixcell Biom from the same brand.

Best for

  • The look of fine lines and early loss of firmness
  • Skin that looks less bouncy
  • Dehydrated skin that looks flat
  • Adding peptides alongside a retinoid routine
  • Oily or combination skin that wants a light texture

Not ideal if

  • You avoid animal-derived ingredients: hydrolysed collagen is listed and PURCELL do not state its source
  • You want a stronger treatment for lines and texture: a retinoid such as Purito TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% + Retinal Serum works differently

Key ingredients

  • Saccharomyces/hexapeptide-11 ferment filtrate (82%): the look of firmness and elasticity
  • Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 (27.5 ppm): the look of fine lines
  • Hydrolysed collagen: hydration and a plumper look
  • Carnitine: skin conditioning
  • Adenosine: smoother-looking skin

Texture and finish

Very light and watery. It absorbs quickly without a greasy residue and leaves a dewy finish.

Where it goes in your routine

Morning and evening, straight after cleansing. Put 1 to 2 drops each on the forehead, cheeks and chin with the dropper and pat in, then carry on with toner, serum and moisturiser. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

What to expect

Skin feels hydrated and smooth from the first use. Any change in the look of fine lines and firmness is gradual and depends on steady daily use.

Good to know

  • No fragrance in the listed ingredients
  • Contains hydrolysed collagen (source not stated)
  • No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
  • The 82% refers to the ferment filtrate, not pure peptide

What does the 82% actually mean?

It refers to PURCELL's patented Peptide 82% Formula™, which makes up the majority of the product and is based around Saccharomyces/Hexapeptide-11 Ferment Filtrate.

It should not be interpreted as 82% pure Hexapeptide-11.

That is an important distinction when comparing this serum with other peptide products.

-
What is Hexapeptide-11?

Hexapeptide-11 is a short peptide used in skincare products aimed at improving the appearance of ageing skin.

In this formula it is used within a yeast-fermented ingredient system rather than simply being added as isolated peptide powder.

-
What does Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 do?

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is another signalling peptide commonly used in products designed to support smoother and firmer-looking skin.

Here it complements the Hexapeptide-11 ferment rather than being the main base of the formula.

-
Does the collagen in this serum replace collagen in my skin?

No.

Hydrolysed collagen used topically can help bind moisture and create a smoother, plumper-looking surface, but it should not be thought of as directly replacing the structural collagen naturally found deeper within your skin.

That doesn't make it useless — it just means its role is primarily hydrating and skin-conditioning.

-
Is this better than retinol or retinal for wrinkles?

They aren't really interchangeable.

Retinoids have much stronger evidence for changing visible signs of photoageing over time and would usually be our more targeted choice for someone whose primary concern is established wrinkles.

A peptide serum like this is useful when you want additional support for firmness, hydration and smoother-looking skin, particularly if you want something gentle.

Many people can also use peptides and retinoids within the same overall routine.

-
Can I use it with retinal or retinol?

Generally, yes.

There is no need to automatically separate this peptide formula from a retinoid.

One simple routine could be:

Morning: Peptide serum → moisturiser → SPF

Evening: Retinoid → moisturiser

Or, if your skin tolerates layering well, the peptide serum can also be used in the same evening routine.

-
Can sensitive skin use it?

Potentially, yes.

This is not an exfoliating acid or retinoid, so it does not require the same gradual introduction schedule.

However, sensitive skin can react to any new formula, so introduce it normally and patch test if you are particularly reactive.

-
Can oily skin use it?

Yes.

The watery texture is one of the strengths of this product. It gives you a peptide and hydration step without the heaviness sometimes associated with anti-ageing creams.

-
Can dry skin use it?

Yes, but think of it as a treatment layer rather than your moisturiser.

Dry skin will usually benefit from following it with a cream containing the emollients and barrier-supporting lipids that this lightweight serum does not provide on its own.

-
How long does it take to see results?

Hydration and a slightly plumper surface appearance may be noticeable relatively quickly.

Firmness and fine lines should be judged over consistent use rather than after a few days.

PURCELL has carried out both laboratory/ex-vivo testing and a small human study on its Peptide 82% Formula™, but we would still treat this as a long-term skincare treatment rather than promise an overnight lifting effect.
