The most important ingredients

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids - signalling molecules for the skin.

Function: Can support resilience and skin structure, ease wrinkles and firm the skin.

Hyaluronic acid

A molecule produced by the body that can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

Function: Can intensively supply the skin with moisture, plump up fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier.

Vitamin E

Fat-soluble antioxidant - protects the cell membranes and works synergistically with vitamin C.

Function: Can neutralise free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effect of vitamin C.

Application

1-2 pumps onto face and neck right after cleansing and toner, 1-2 more pumps for the décolleté. Distribute in small dots, massage in with light upward movements and pat in.

Morning and evening: use as the first skincare product, then the remaining products from thinnest to thickest.

Frequently asked questions

Is Colorescience now doing anti-ageing too?

Yes. Peptides that stimulate firmness. Apply in the morning before sunscreen. With this, Colorescience has expanded beyond SPF into active skincare — the brand's strength remains its sun protection, but the peptide serum complements it as a morning treatment step.

What are peptides and how do they work on collagen?

Peptides are amino acid chains — smaller protein building blocks. Palmitoyl Tripeptid-5 (in Pep Up) can signal the skin to produce more collagen. The skin interprets the peptide as a fragment of degraded collagen and responds by increasing collagen production. The effect is subtle but builds up over weeks.

Why care for the neck with peptides too?

The neck ages faster than the face — thinner, more sensitive, often neglected. Collagen loss and UV damage are just as pronounced there, but most skincare routines end at the chin. Pep Up is specifically formulated for face and neck — the formula is gentle enough for the thinner skin of the neck.

How do I combine Pep Up with a retinol routine?

Pep Up is a serum for morning and evening: one to two pumps on face and neck after cleansing, then moisturiser and, in the morning, SPF. If you use other actives such as retinol, apply Pep Up as the first layer and the other products on top.

When do I see first results with Pep Up?

Hydration and freshness: immediately to week 1. The hyaluronic acid plumps your skin so the texture feels smoother. Firmness effect from the peptides: visible after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use.

About the brand

Colorescience specialises in mineral sun protection, from tinted fluids and powder brushes to lip care with SPF. Because the products filter purely with minerals, they sit on the skin rather than penetrating it. This makes them particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin or skin prone to redness. Many products combine UV protection with a light tint, so you take care of skincare and make-up in one step.
