Face Serums

How to choose a face serum

Compare Amplified Glow face serums by formula family, supporting ingredients, size, and routine placement. The collection includes a 60 mL stabilized vitamin C serum and three peptide serums built around GHK-Cu, with selected formulas also featuring SNAP-8, hyaluronic acid, multi-peptide complexes, botanical extracts, panthenol, allantoin, or conditioning oils. One peptide option is explicitly fragrance free, and published directions vary from morning use to twice-daily application. Choose according to the product's complete profile and your preferred routine rather than relying on a single highlighted ingredient or concentration. Apply serum to clean skin, then follow the individual directions for moisturizer and daytime sunscreen.

A face serum is a lightweight step used after cleansing and before face cream. The useful question is not simply which serum is strongest, but which formula has the most suitable combination of featured ingredients, supporting ingredients, texture, size, and directions for your routine. Amplified Glow currently offers one vitamin C formula and three distinct GHK-Cu peptide formulas.

Brightening Vitamin C Serum: an antioxidant-focused morning option

The Brightening Vitamin C Serum is a 2 fl oz / 60 mL formula featuring sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a stabilized form of vitamin C. Its published ingredient highlights also include ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and riboflavin. Directions specify applying a few drops to clean face and neck each morning, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen. This distinguishes it from the peptide-focused options in both ingredient emphasis and routine placement.

GHK-Cu + SNAP-8 Peptide Renewal Serum: 0.15% GHK-Cu

The 0.15% GHK-Cu + SNAP-8 Peptide Renewal Serum is a fragrance-free 1 fl oz / 30 mL formula. Alongside GHK-Cu and SNAP-8, it features sodium hyaluronate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, betaine, trehalose, and a botanical blend containing cactus, oat bran, Ophiopogon japonicus root, peony root, Scutellaria baicalensis root, and purslane extracts. Published directions call for two to three drops on clean face and neck, morning and evening or as desired.

Copper Peptide Renewal Serum: fragrance-free 60 mL format

The Copper Peptide Renewal Serum is a fragrance-free 2 fl oz / 60 mL formula featuring 0.1% GHK-Cu. Its supporting profile includes sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, jojoba oil, coconut oil, green tea extract, orange peel extract, and methylene blue. The product page directs users to apply a small amount to the clean face and neck twice daily and follow with moisturizer if desired.

GHK-Cu and SNAP-8 Serum: multi-peptide support

The GHK-Cu and SNAP-8 Peptide Renewal Serum is a 1.01 fl oz / 30 mL formula that combines GHK-Cu, SNAP-8, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and allantoin with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. Its directions specify two to three drops after cleansing and toning, followed by moisturizer, twice daily.

A practical face-serum comparison process

1. Choose the formula family. Select stabilized vitamin C for the collection's antioxidant-focused morning serum, or compare GHK-Cu peptide formulas for a peptide-centered routine.
2. Compare supporting ingredients. Look at humectants, peptides, botanicals, oils, panthenol, and allantoin rather than evaluating only the headline ingredient.
3. Check format and preferences. The range includes 30 mL and 60 mL products, and two peptide serum pages explicitly describe their formulas as fragrance free.
4. Read the exact directions. Application amount and frequency differ among products. Use the product page as the final source for how to apply the formula.

Ingredient names worth recognizing

GHK-Cu may also be called Copper Tripeptide-1. Sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid are forms of hyaluronic acid used in different formulas. SNAP-8 is a peptide ingredient, while the collection also includes other named peptides such as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. A longer ingredient list is not automatically better; it simply describes a different formula architecture.

Where serum fits in a complete routine

Use a facial cleanser first. Apply the selected serum to clean skin according to its directions, allow it to absorb, and follow with a face cream. The Vitamin C Serum page specifically calls for sunscreen after moisturizer in the morning, and peptide-serum directions also reference sunscreen during daytime use where stated.

Face serum questions

Are all four face serums the same?

No. They differ in formula family, peptide combination, GHK-Cu concentration where stated, supporting ingredients, fragrance positioning, size, and directions.

Which serum is fragrance free?

The 0.15% GHK-Cu + SNAP-8 Peptide Renewal Serum and the 0.1% Copper Peptide Renewal Serum are explicitly described as fragrance free on their product pages.

Can a serum replace face cream?

The published routines position serum before moisturizer or face cream. The two steps use different formula formats and should not be treated as identical.

Should I choose by concentration alone?

No. Consider the full formula, texture, size, application schedule, and personal preferences. Patch test when appropriate and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
