A carrier peptide that delivers copper to skin cells, supporting skin renewal.
A “botox-like” peptide that helps soften the look of expression lines around the eyes and forehead.
A signal peptide that supports collagen and elastin production, for skin that looks firmer over time.
Enzyme-inhibiting peptides that help protect the collagen you have from breaking down.
"Not all peptide serums are created equal. Maelove's Peptide Squad has four times the peptide power, with four distinct types of peptides that allow our body to increase its natural production of collagen."
"I love this formula. I also love that I have all my peptides covered every time I use it. It layers beautifully under moisturizer and sunscreen. And it even plays well with certain antioxidant and vitamin C serums, like Maelove's Glow Maker."
"I love this blend of peptides because they are effective, easy to tolerate, and compatible with most other active ingredients."
"It's super, super smooth and very hydrating, very moisturizing, so it really does help prevent any irritation to the skin barrier.”
"Adding Peptide Squad to my routine has made the biggest difference in how my skin feels."
"I use it [Peptide Squad] twice a day."
"One thing people don't realize about peptide serums is that formulation and pairing really matter. What I like about Maelove's Peptide Squad serum is that it combines multiple peptides that work through different pathways."
"Science shows peptides help boost collagen, smooth fine lines, and strengthen your skin barrier, giving a firmer, healthier glow. That's why us dermatologists love the Maelove Peptide Squad Serum. It's smart science in a bottle, no hype required."
"Peptide Squad contains Argireline, which relaxes facial muscles and helps reduce wrinkles."
"It’s super safe to use, whether it's in addition to your retinol or as a replacement for retinol to help with anti-aging on the skin."
"Peptide Squad combines four different types of peptides: copper peptides to build collagen, Argireline to relax fine expression lines, Matrixyl 3000 to firm the skin, and rice peptides to prevent collagen breakdown. It hydrates like a dream and supports a healthy skin barrier.
"Signal peptides essentially act as messengers in the skin and tell our skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin fibers. Copper peptides work a little bit differently. They're essentially mini proteins that carry copper ions to our skin cells, which then our skin cells use to make collagen."
"I love peptides. I think that they are the future of skincare. So I recommend you all try the Maelove Peptide Squad Serum for plumper, healthier skin."
"Copper peptides promote collagen production while aggressively fighting inflammation and oxidative damage without the irritation of retinoids."
"Think of these peptides as little messengers that support collagen and keep skin firm."
"Peptide Squad was named the Best Firming Serum in Cosmopolitan's Clean Beauty Awards 2025. The four-peptide complex with bonus ingredients like niacinamide, turmeric, and jojoba oil."
"Matrixyl 3000 and copper peptides are signal messengers that directly stimulate collagen synthesis, working on a cellular level to firm and renew skin texture."
Your skin, but firmer.
Collagen production declines with age, and skin stops bouncing back the way it used to. Peptide Squad combines four peptide technologies that support collagen, soften the look of expression lines, and help skin look firmer over time.
Morning and night
Apply a thin layer to your face, neck, and chest. Massage in until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer.
Don't skip your neck and chest
They're just as exposed to sun and aging as your face, and they respond well to peptides.
First-time users
You may notice slight tingling or temporary numbing from the Argireline peptide. This is normal and fades as your skin adjusts.

Most serums lean on one or two peptides. Peptide Squad is one of the only formulas with all four science-backed classes, each targeting a different driver of aging skin.
Two collagen-building signal peptides that tell your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, helping rebuild firmness from within.
Delivers stabilised copper your skin uses for collagen synthesis and repair. It's also what gives the serum its signature blue hue.
Gently relaxes the repetitive muscle movements that etch expression lines around the eyes and forehead, softening their appearance over time.
Help block the enzymes (MMPs) that break down the collagen you already have, so your skin holds onto its structure for longer.

My only regret is that I didn’t find it sooner
I'm 46 and my skin is glowy and bouncy and looks better than it did in my 30s! This serum is amazing and has quickly become my favourite. I use it morning and night as part of my overall routine.

My fine lines are not as prominent
I've been hearing about this serum from YouTube bloggers and such, so I finally decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, as I'm having great results. My skin seems firmer and brighter, and my fine lines are less prominent. I am very, very pleased and I will definitely repurchase.

I would tell my 30 year old self to use this serum.
At 64, I would love a product to turn back time, but the best I can do moving forward is to do no harm. This serum does not flare my rosacea. Layers well. Sinks in beautifully.

Amazing
This little powerhouse peptide serum has replaced several bottles of high-end products, and I think it even works better! I have it on auto subscribe now so I never run out!

Love this!
I'm a pilot, so I'm constantly in very dry conditions in airplanes and hotels, and I get a lot of sun damage from being in the sun at high altitudes. With Peptide Squad, my skin doesn't dry out all day, and I have noticed a reduction in my fine lines (age 40).

The results appeared almost immediately!
I'm in love with this peptide serum! I have very sensitive skin and this serum works perfectly on me and does not cause irritation. My skin is much firmer and smoother since adding it to my routine. I'm a fan forever!

Amazing product and quality
I love that this serum has the major 4 peptides in it along with other great skin ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin B5. Its blue color with the natural copper is also interesting. I love how it makes my skin look.

I do not use Botox or fillers.
I love this product! I’m going to be 65 in November and this works very well. I do not use Botox or fillers. My lines are more faint and my skin feels great.

My skin feels and looks great
I've been using the Peptide Squad with Glow Maker for a few months now. My skin feels much smoother and softer than it has in a long time. And the lines in my neck & chest are getting less noticeable.

Love Peptide Squad!
I was surprised at how much I love the Peptide Squad. My face feels tighter, and my complexion looks a little better and more glowy. I've only been using it about 1 month now.
Weakened Skin Barrier
Declining estrogen thins the skin barrier, making skin more sensitive, reactive, and prone to irritation.
Collagen Loss
Decreased collagen production leads to loss of firmness and elasticity, causing fine lines and wrinkles to deepen.
Slower Cell Renewal
Cell turnover slows down, causing dead skin cells to build up, leaving skin dull and uneven with lingering dark spots.
Collagen Breakdown
Overactive enzymes (MMPs) break down existing collagen, accelerating structural damage and leading to sagging and deep wrinkles.
From real customers using the Glow Maker and Peptide Squad together consistently.
I was surprised at how much I love the Peptide Squad. It’s kinda spicy when you put it on - just a slight burn that lasts maybe 15 seconds, but enough that you realize it’s doing something. My face feels somewhat tighter and my complexion to me just looks a little better and more glowy.
I’ve used a couple of other peptide serums over the years and this one beats all. I love how easily it goes on and does not leave a sticky residue.
I do see that the prior lines on my neck & face (left, before) have smoothed & become less deep. I think that of the 4 products I've purchased from Maelove, this is my favorite.
Great results from the “squad” of peptides. My skin has a bounce! No bad smell, pretty color and melts right into my skin. I love how I can use my 4 serums with hardly any wait time!! Thank you, Maelove! I love being comfortable enough to go make up free, it’s these products!!
I call it the blue stuff and I love it. I never do before and after, so I can't prove it's working, but I think it's helped slow the aging process down and protect my skin.
At 64 I have had a challenge with trying to keep my skin from sagging and wrinkling. This helps. I can definitely tell a difference when I run out!
I se the peptide with the night serum. M 75urs old and live in Hawaii. I’ve been in the sun my whole life!! I love here products

Most peptide serums on the market fall into one of two camps:
Single-peptide formulas: They include one or two peptides (usually Matrixyl or copper) at an effective concentration. These work, but they're only addressing one mechanism of aging.
Peptide cocktails: They list an assortment of different peptides on the label, which sounds impressive, but many lack published clinical studies, and there's often no clear rationale for why those specific peptides were combined.
What makes Peptide Squad different: We took a targeted approach: four peptides, each from a different class with a distinct mechanism of action, formulated at clinically effective concentrations.
Each one is backed by published clinical research. Together, they create synergy, attacking aging from multiple angles simultaneously for faster, more comprehensive results than any single peptide can deliver.
Unlike many peptide serums that feel heavy or sticky, ours absorbs in seconds. You get serious anti-aging power without the tacky residue or irritation.
Each class of peptide fights aging through a different mechanism:
By combining all four types, we're addressing aging from multiple angles simultaneously. This creates synergy - the peptides work better together than individually, leading to faster and better results.
First week: Your skin feels smoother, softer, and noticeably plumper to the touch. Makeup glides on without pilling or sliding because this absorbs so cleanly.
Weeks 4-8: This is the 'firming window.' Fine lines start to soften, and your skin feels more bouncy when you press on it.
The long game: This is where peptides really shine. You're not just treating existing damage - you're actively slowing down future aging by supporting your skin's structure every day.
The goal? In 10 years, look like you've aged only five. Use it daily to keep sending those rebuilding signals to your skin.
Yes, with other Maelove products.
Some people worry that copper peptides react with vitamin C and cause oxidation. That concern applies to free copper ions. Peptide Squad's copper is bound to a GHK peptide (Copper Tripeptide-1), a stable complex that occurs naturally in skin, so there's no free copper to react.
We've run internal stability tests confirming Peptide Squad does not cause oxidation of the vitamin C in Glow Maker, and does not degrade the retinoids in Stargaze or Moonlight.
Please keep in mind that we can only speak to our own formulas. We can't vouch for other brands' vitamin C, retinol, or peptide serums, since we don't know how they're formulated or whether they layer safely.
Yes. The actives in Peptide Squad, including peptides, niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, natural moisturizing factors, ceramides, jojoba, and botanical extracts and actives such as allantoin, aloe, green tea, turmeric, madecassoside (found in cica) and bisabolol (found in chamomile), are all considered generally safe to use topically during pregnancy and lactation.
However, it is always advisable to check with your doctor regarding skincare products and ingredients, and to follow their advice.
