It is a well-made cream and it feels lovely. Dicaprylyl carbonate, glycerin and marula oil make a genuinely nice emollient base, and people who use it are usually happy with how their skin feels.
It is fragrance-free and essential-oil-free, which is a real point in its favor and consistent with what the brand says it stands for.
If you like it and it is working, there is nothing dangerous in the current formula.
On the peptides — the same caveat we apply everywhere. A 2026 systematic review pooled 19 randomized peptide trials and found only two tested topical peptides; the wrinkle benefit came almost entirely from oral collagen supplements. Peptides are also large molecules, and the skin is very good at keeping large molecules out.
Peptides are gentle and well tolerated, and there is a real argument for them in skin that cannot handle retinoids. But be clear on the comparison: retinoids have decades of large, independent evidence. Peptides do not. Gentler, yes. Equally proven, no.
