I have been putting The Ordinary's Argeriline on my 11's & my smile lines from nose to lips. It truly did lessen my lines, especially the smile ones. It took about 6 weeks or so. One day, before putting on my sunscreen, it just hit me that I could barely see them anymore. I apply it 2x a day first thing.
Argireline absolutely works! I tried using it on the wrinkles on the corners of my mouth, but it relaxed the muscles so much that I started seeing odd globs/protrusions forming when I smiled that were caused by needing to use different muscles to smile because the ones at the corners were working less. It has also almost diminished the lines above my lips in less than 3 months. PLUS, I’ve been thinking that I look less genuine when I smile because my crow’s feet hardly show at all anymore. The under eye area has greatly improved because that’s the part that gets out of shape when you squint. Less squinting = less crepiness. I can’t say enough good about it. I’ve never seen a product work this well. I use The Ordinary.
Maryellen Kuch I was real skeptical, but I purchased several The Ordinary products and am in love! My skin has changed so much and people have started telling me that I’ve got nice skin.
I legit have no idea how many hours I spent on watching every possible youtube video on skincare and you are the only one which is so educational so easy to take notes and really learn something with understanding, especially for a non native Eng speaker - thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This video is one of the reasons I follow you. You really do your research and you don’t talk down to us, but you do try to make the information user friendly. Thank you for linking all of the studies.
Great video, especially your note about the limitations of company-sponsored research. A couple add-ons: Peptides should be kept away from light and air exposure, so I would avoid products in jar and clear packaging. Also, peptides can become unstable in water, so water-based formulas are less than ideal.
Let me save you the trouble of adding that extra step in your routine.....I tried TO Argireline for at least 6mths & found it completely ineffective. It’s not “Botox in a bottle”, nor does is prolong the effects of Botox. I wish it had though! Thanks for the thorough video 👍🏼
I get a very positive energy from your videos every time I watch them, it’s very encouraging to see a beautiful woman so passionate about anti aging skincare and getting such great results,thank you so much ！
I have 10 years of experience using Perricone MD. Just 2 years combine them with some Ordinary products like Argeriline and others. I am content with the results.
Great research! Being a nurse I really appreciate evidence based research. Too many people fall for the buzz words and pretty packaging of marketing and don't actually research whether the company's claims are valid. I am new to your channel (7 months) and new to the whole anti-ageing world but it is nice to find a channel with some real substance for mature women and not someone just blowing smoke up our ***es! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this info. I have been using Matrixyl 3000, argirilene and vitamin C serum for 5 months now, morning and night. Have seen lots of improvement to my skin. Smoother texture, more even coloring and less depth to wrinkles. Now I know why it's working. I sure won't stop using it.
Number one-I love that you post your videos when I’m driving home from my night shift job!. It makes me so excited that I get to listen to you on my way home. Second of all thank you so much for all the research that you do again , as I always say when I comment, you lay it all out so clearly and I appreciate it! Now to order Argireline!! You are the best!
Girl I been watching your channel for a couple years now and totally trust what anti-aging products you suggest and I wanted to say THANKYOU for promoting Curology!, I love it and it’s working so great!, Stay beautiful and awesome!,
Angie! Your research is amazing. And stands the test of time even in the “fast fashion” skin care world. I re-learned more in this one info-packed five year old video than hours (and hours!) of surfing content to find the low down on anti-aging peptides. What’s old is new again for me. Thank you again for sharing your deep dives for us ladies over 50.
LOVE that you go into all the studies and have links to them!! Very thorough. Question: can you mix the Vit C, Matrixyl synth-6 and Co-Q 10 together in your hand before applying to save a step?
I can't believe how much I've learned from these videos. When I read the ingredients (on everything) and come across a word I start to pronounce and realize I totally know it! I have been going over this exact subject in depth the last 3 wks and came to the same conclusion!! We must have been the ones clogging up the Beautylish website trying to get that Argireline!! LOL! I finally got it, should arrive today. I really think it's working for me! My opinion is to try it if it's not expensive or make a plan to try something new each month to see what work for you. That's what I did. One difference is while you get yours in the Olay cream I have separate bottles of Niacinamide (great for pores on my chin) and straight Hyloronic Acid which I will sometimes use around the worst places before foundation to plump. Otherwise, I use them at night. Next, I'm going to get the Mad Hippie cream, I like their face cleanser. This was great thanks so much! xo
Thank you so much Angie for your video, always honest and informative. i'm not a great poster but i do watch your videos and have learned a lot from you. Thank you again Angie for your honesty always.
I only listen TO YOU when it comes to skin care plus I have all your products, I’ve been using them for about a year now with confidence. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you discussed argireline. I used a product that was based around it for several years, but at the time I was in my late 20s/early 30s. I was using the products for more as a preventative to aging at the time of course, so I didn't really see any benefits from it. Now that i'm in my middle 40s and understand the potential benefits I may consider adding it to my routine again. Your information videos on anti aging ingredients and products has been the most beneficial thing i've found in my pursuit to understand what ingredients work and why!
Another fabulous video Angie, you helped put that in perspective better than my own dermatologist, I sincerely trust all of your hard work. And, you are simply stunning as usual.🌹...TY
Thanks, Angie! I love to learn the science behind things, such as cooking, gardening and now, thanks to you, the science of skin care. Keep up the good work and saving me all research! Love your site!!
I appreciate these ingredients videos so much! I’m late to the game on skincare and it can be all so overwhelming. You take the complex and explain it in every day language that helps so much to sort through it all! Thank you!!!
I'll let that be your little secret. As for me, I've only been using these types of products since my husband gave me a shopping spree on Amazon. I hit Angie's list of products and my daughter who hasn't seen me since Christmas told her sister I have had a face lift. Nope........just delved into the realm of advanced skin care and have not looked back.
The Argerline works !!! I tried it ! Prolonged my Botox by about a 2 months at least ... after I could move my brows again the lines did not come back for so long ... let us know what you think !, Fortunately the ordinary store is here in Toronto so I can just walk in and buy it off the shelf Love your channel btw Many thanks for all your excellent info and time you put in Rhonda
I must be the only one but I use Copper Peptides and they have been face saving for me!!!! I absolutely see the difference when I’m using it and when I miss three days or so.
There are two beauty bloggers that I watch for skin care. You and Elle Leary Artistry. You are both so informative and have done your research. Thanks for all you do.
Very good and thorough video-thank you-I agree about peptides and take the view that if they do no harm and may do some good and are inexpensive why not use them ? They never break me out or cause sensitivity so they’re low risk.
I just started subscribing to your channel I am 55 and have been taking care of my skin since I was in my early 20s. I think I found my kindred sister in you... thank you for all the research that you have done and for your transparency about your Botox use. I bought some sunscreen last night after watching your sunscreen video and cannot wait to start slathering myself in it
Another well done, articulate and informative video :-) I must admit, I too, have wondered about efficacy of peptides but as hope floats, I purchased a month ago, the Argireline Serum 10% from The Ordinary and I 'think' it is making a difference in terms of the depth of the wrinkles.....both eyes, 11's and mouth seem 'less' deep somehow.....I use Buffet AFTER my TimeLess CoQ10 enzyme because I find it really helps the redness too....I follow your routing almost to the letter save 3 products I have added in (Argireline Serum 10% am/pm, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA - AM only and Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, PM only) thanks and hugs Angie.....we all so appreciate you.....
I watch your videos regularly and sometimes even twice to grab hold of all the information! Just a note to thank you for doing all the homework for all of us in our efforts to turn back time!
Dear Angie, thanks for an extended review on peptides, also for dividing them by categories, very helpful. I've got 2 questions: 1. Since Buffet by TO contains Argireline, do you think it's safe to to apply it on entire face, in terms of sagging it might cause? And if it is save because of a low amount of Argireline included, would it be ok to use Argireline serum on the targeted areas in addition to Buffet? 2. Doesn't the fact that Olay cream's jar packaging bother you? I really hope that you'd find the time to answer. Thanks in advance
Want to start using Timeless products on your recommendation and also start micro needling. I contacted Timeless on which of their products should be used with this procedure. Surprised at the prompt extremely detailed answer. They are truly a great company to do business with. Got the Ordinary argireline and like The Mad Hippie combo. You're the best of all the other people in this format. Thanks for all you do. Keep you posted from SOTB.
Yas bless us with ingredient translations. I love and believe in peptides because of all the things I’ve read, I know certain types are to be sought...but I use so many products.
very informative! i watched this video many times now and haven't been able to grasp all the information there. i like how Angie goes the extra mile and looks into the science behind the products. Angie is my skin guru now :)
What a great video, Angie! Amazed at all your knowledge and the way you explain it so we can understand. Loved your eyeshadow today, can you do a tutorial on it?
I really love these lessons on anti-aging ingredients! I wonder what publications or magazines do you read to stay up to date in the latest on skin? Love your channel Angie ❤️
Your review also mirrored Dr. Dray's review that Peptides are large molecules, so work as humectants with moisturizing properties. You're always are very informative. Thank you for addressing the topic.
Thank you so much for this! I've always stayed away from Peptides mostly because I really don't understand it. Your explanation really helps tremendously!
Also, Angie, I have a video request! Maybe a storytime video talking about your skincare journey - touching on things like how and when you first started getting into skincare, the first kinds of products you started off using (Vit C, retinal, serums, etc.), your all time favorite product, etc.
Thank you for doing this. It cleared up so many questions I had about peptides. I fell in love with the Olay cream you discussed when I was much younger. I wish I would have stuck with it religiously because you look great! Recently I ordered a huge amount of new anti-ageing beauty products from The Ordinary, The Inkey List, and Drunk Elephant and some other brands from Sephora. My two favorite new things are TO Granactive Retinoid emulsion, and TO glycolic acid 7% toning solution. These are only for night time and can’t be used on the same night (I don’t think). I recently was checking out what The environmental working group (EWG) had to say about the safety of Retinoid and Acid exfoliants like AHAs. They weren’t recommended very highly and I was further frustrated about the safety of SPF which is extremely important to me these days. The EWG has a list of recommended products that are the safest. The SPFs are all mineral formulas that contain Zinc oxide or zinc oxide and titanium oxide which I can live with because I want to avoid the nasty side effects from the chemical versions which include endocrine disrupters among other things. But the bad thing is that zinc oxide and titanium oxide are used in tiny nano particles which I hate the idea of. The most dangerous thing would be breathing them in so I would avoid any SPF sprays or face powders unless you are very careful. 👋 scientists of the world: please find a safer sunscreen or study nano particles in sunblocks to ensure they are safe and don’t get caught in the pores and oxidize down there further aging and causing problems . I’ve been reading too much about sunscreen, perhaps.
Thank you for a very interesting video!! You are so right when it comes to understand in ding how the skin works! Again Thank You for clearing alot of things up!!
Excellent timing I just returned from a visit my favorite esthetician. And we had quite the talk on peptides. Your informations clear and informative. I follow just about all you suggestions 💕🐝
Wow, Angie. I can't believe how much research and studying you put into your videos, this one in particular. Well done! And I thank you for doing all the work for us.
It's super great to watch a 15 mins video that's worth weeks of research (+experience) :) Thanks I tried the Buffet from the Ordinary brand, not knowing what are peptides for anti-aging. Then when I saw a huge difference, I went online to find what are those things.
I absolutely love your opinions on skincare! I’m 34 and just not getting into it but better late than never. You have amazing knowledge thanks for sharing!
I feel the same way about peptides, I use them if they are in a nice product or really affordable because I am afraid to have missed out should I start later.
I just found your channel and just wanted to say that your reviews are so so good! I appreciate your commitment to thoroughly testing the products before you review.
I’ve only tried the Olay one, and from someone who’s never had any procedures/injections, I see a big difference in my skin if I don’t use it. Thanks for the info, Angie!
Thanks Angie for all the work and research that you do for us. The one You Tuber that puts links into where to buy things and it's just so appreciated!! Your skin looks so lovely and I love this look on you, beautiful
Love your channel. I'm a fan of Ordinary's Buffet. But I also use Olay Regenerist for evening moisturizer, after retinol serum and it. is. everything. Such an underated moisturizer in my opinion.
I have been putting The Ordinary's Argeriline on my 11's & my smile lines from nose to lips. It truly did lessen my lines, especially the smile ones. It took about 6 weeks or so. One day, before putting on my sunscreen, it just hit me that I could barely see them anymore. I apply it 2x a day first thing.

Hi Paige, Thank you so much. I am going to try the argireline by the ordinary because of your comment. Have a great day.
I appreciate you sharing this Paige. I’ve been thinking about trying this product.
Maryellen Kuch How nice of you to say so! Thank you ☺️
Glad you and Angie mentioned the Ordinary. I was going to get the Skin Diva which is more expensive.
Thanks again!
Maryellen Kuch I was real skeptical, but I purchased several The Ordinary products and am in love! My skin has changed so much and people have started telling me that I’ve got nice skin.
This was incredibly comprehensive and informative! Thank you for all the time and effort you've invested into researching this topic for us!

YOU are my (our) best anti-aging ingredient! xoPatti
Patti Kristiansen I so agree!
Great video, especially your note about the limitations of company-sponsored research. A couple add-ons: Peptides should be kept away from light and air exposure, so I would avoid products in jar and clear packaging. Also, peptides can become unstable in water, so water-based formulas are less than ideal.
Angie, could you do a peptide update?
Your a smart cookie Angie, thanks for another informative class. This old gal has learned so much from your hard work.
Pat
Patricia Sansone this one too!
Debbie Larabee On it!
Let me save you the trouble of adding that extra step in your routine.....I tried TO Argireline for at least 6mths & found it completely ineffective. It’s not “Botox in a bottle”, nor does is prolong the effects of Botox. I wish it had though! Thanks for the thorough video 👍🏼

Great information Angie! Loved this video and am a fan of using peptides as well. xoxo

As an esthetician I find your videos so informational.
Argireline has really helped my lines.
Costco is selling a 2 jar package of Olay Regenerist for $28.99
Really appreciate you passing along what you have learned Angie! I have started passing on this valuable information myself. Thanks again!
Thanks. Watching your vids and Dr. Drays.
These ingredient series are the most amazing thing!!!!! As always, thank you so much Angie!!!!!
You are the “ Skin Guru “ 🌟 Thank You for your hard work researching all these skincare products, and sharing with all of us Angie 🌟 xo Stacy

Rhonda Thornton I wish it worked for me.
What product do you purchase?
Angie this was extremely informative. This series is helping me to smartly reduce the products and costs of my skincare routine.
I must be the only one but I use Copper Peptides and they have been face saving for me!!!! I absolutely see the difference when I’m using it and when I miss three days or so.
Which brand?
Thank you for all the work and time you spend on sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.
Thanks for clarifying what peptides are.. I do appreciate that you take the time to read studies, which are evidenced based.
There are two beauty bloggers that I watch for skin care. You and Elle Leary Artistry. You are both so informative and have done your research. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for all the study links. You have done the homework for us!
Very good and thorough video-thank you-I agree about peptides and take the view that if they do no harm and may do some good and are inexpensive why not use them ? They never break me out or cause sensitivity so they’re low risk.
I just started subscribing to your channel I am 55 and have been taking care of my skin since I was in my early 20s. I think I found my kindred sister in you... thank you for all the research that you have done and for your transparency about your Botox use.

I really hope that you'd find the time to answer. Thanks in advance
Want to start using Timeless products on your recommendation and also start micro needling. I contacted Timeless on which of their products should be used with this procedure. Surprised at the prompt extremely detailed answer. They are truly a great company to do business with. Got the Ordinary argireline and like The Mad Hippie combo. You're the best of all the other people in this format. Thanks for all you do. Keep you posted from SOTB.
Yas bless us with ingredient translations. I love and believe in peptides because of all the things I’ve read, I know certain types are to be sought...but I use so many products.
Fascinating, thank you. I wonder - have you done a similar video on ceramides you can direct me to, please?
Ceramides will be coming up in a future segment of this series.
HotandFlashy brilliant! Thank you.
Wow! Angie, great research job and great pronunciation of all those crazy names! Love your channel!

The Kate Somerville serum is fantastic!
Thank you so much for this! I've always stayed away from Peptides mostly because I really don't understand it. Your explanation really helps tremendously!
Also, Angie, I have a video request! Maybe a storytime video talking about your skincare journey - touching on things like how and when you first started getting into skincare, the first kinds of products you started off using (Vit C, retinal, serums, etc.), your all time favorite product, etc.
Great idea! Thanks!!
Exactly my conversation with the ulta lady... everything claims everything, too many options too! TY!
Thanks for your diligence, Angie, and for sharing the info from your research!
This is why I love your videos Angie you're so knowledgeable thank you so much ❤
Thank you for being so open, honest and thorough.

Thank you for a very interesting video!! You are so right when it comes to understand in ding how the skin works! Again Thank You for clearing alot of things up!!

Wow Angie.. no one has ever explained this better. Thanks for breaking it down for us in n easy way to understand. You're the best!
My favorite videos youve made nd my favorite videos made on the topic all together
I really appreciate you including your references
I 💜💜💜this series! Thanks so much for taking the mystery out of anti aging skin care!!
I feel the same way about peptides, I use them if they are in a nice product or really affordable because I am afraid to have missed out should I start later.
I've recently added a product from skin diva that is 20% argereline and has matryxy 3000. I love it!
Love this series. Thank you for sharing the information.
I just found your channel and just wanted to say that your reviews are so so good! I appreciate your commitment to thoroughly testing the products before you review.
Thanks so much!!
Wow! Talk about doing your research! I’m impressed. Can you please explain why you prefer the Timeless product over the Buffet? Thank you!
Thank you for the info. Yes very helpful because I just ordered a full set of timeless products. I ordered everything they told me I needed.
I’ve only tried the Olay one, and from someone who’s never had any procedures/injections, I see a big difference in my skin if I don’t use it. Thanks for the info, Angie!
Thank you so much for doing all the homework for us. The information you provide is priceless.
Best Best Best . Just Simply Best
"Girl boss".....love it!! Great info Angie, as always.
Thanks Angie for all the work and research that you do for us. The one You Tuber that puts links into where to buy things and it's just so appreciated!! Your skin looks so lovely and I love this look on you, beautiful
You are very easy to listen to and understand. Thanx for your knowledge 😃
Love your channel. I'm a fan of Ordinary's Buffet. But I also use Olay Regenerist for evening moisturizer, after retinol serum and it. is. everything. Such an underated moisturizer in my opinion.
Whew...Great video..thank you for sharing this information .. love it.
Lovely result for 56. I’m delighted by my look at 47 but I know
It’s not forever. I have to work at this!
