Previously known as The Buffet, The Ordinary Multi-Peptide +HA Serum has had a rebrand, but thankfully the formula inside remains one of the best-value peptide offerings on the market.
What is it?
A hydrating peptide serum which targets wrinkles, firms skin and improves elasticity.
What Do I Think?
If, like me, you’ve a soft spot for a decent peptide serum this is one to know. For under £20, you’re getting an impressively comprehensive formula packed with tried and tested peptide technologies. SYN™-AKE, Matrixyl™ 3000, Matrixyl™ synthe’6™, and ARGIRELOX™ all effective mix aimed at keeping the early signs of ageing at bay like fine lines, reduced firmness and loss of bounce.
There’s also hyaluronic acid (multi-weight), which adds hydration and makes it ideal for drier or more dehydrated skins, though anyone can use it. Unlike actives such as retinoids or acids, peptides are generally well tolerated, meaning you can slot this in both morning and evening with little fear of irritation.
Texture wise, it’s lightweight and layers beautifully under moisturiser and SPF. It doesn’t pill, it doesn’t sting, and it’s just so easy to slot into your routine. It just works quietly in the background, helping your skin look a little fresher, a little more plump, a little less knackered.


Would I recommend?
Yes. It’s just a solid, accessible serum that earns its keep.
