| Verdict | Erborian's clinical-tier peptide serum — and the brand's modern reinvention of its Korean-French DNA into a serious anti-aging product. The active stack runs three peptides at meaningful concentrations: Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) for expression-line softening, Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1) for collagen-support, and Tetrapeptide-7 (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) for inflammation control and ECM support. Layered with dual-weight hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and centella asiatica (the brand's K-beauty heritage signature). The watery serum format absorbs without weight and layers under any moisturizer. At $75 for 30ml, premium pricing — but the peptide stack is meaningfully more sophisticated than most peptide serums at this price point. | The OG retinol serum — RoC has been stabilizing retinol since the 1960s and this formula shows six decades of expertise. |
