Most customers see plumpness and glow within the first 1 to 2 weeks — the dryness lifts and skin feels bouncier. Fine lines around the eyes and mouth visibly soften from week 4 onwards. Deeper wrinkles (forehead, 11s, crow’s feet) reach full softening at 8 weeks — matching the timeline of the published Badenhorst study (55.8% wrinkle volume reduction at 8 weeks). Results compound: the longer you use it, the more pronounced the change. We’d recommend committing to a full 8 weeks before judging it.

Apply a pearl-size to your whole face — forehead, between the brows (the 11s), cheeks, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and don’t forget your neck. Don’t drag the skin. Dot it on, then press it in with the pads of your fingers. The cream absorbs in seconds and leaves no shine. Use morning and night for best results.

Yes — and it’s one of the reasons customers reorder. Sculpté absorbs within seconds and leaves no residue. Applied before makeup, it creates a smooth, plumped base that stops concealer caking into your forehead line and crow’s feet. Customers consistently say they need less foundation once they start using it — because there’s less to cover.

Yes — this is actually one of GHK-Cu’s strongest qualities. The copper peptide is anti-inflammatory: it calms the cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) that drive redness and reactivity. Many rosacea sufferers see improvement. Unlike retinol, there’s no purge, no peeling, no red-flaky break-in period. If you have unusually reactive skin or active rosacea flare, patch-test on your jawline for 3 nights first.

GHK-Cu is a tiny peptide — glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to copper — that your young skin made plenty of. It was discovered in 1973 at UCSF by Dr Loren Pickart. Plasma levels of it fall by around 60% between age 20 and 60 (Pickart & Margolina, 2018). When applied topically, it signals your fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin again, supports the enzymes that cross-link collagen, and inhibits the matrix metalloproteinases that break collagen down. In plain English: it gives your skin the signal it’s lost to do its own repair work.

The consumer benchmark for copper peptide is 1% — that’s what NIOD CAIS3 (£60) and The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides use. Sculpté is double that, at 2% — the upper end of the published clinical range. The 1,200mg figure is the total active dose per 60g jar. Most competitors only disclose %; we disclose the milligrams because we want you to see exactly how much you’re getting.

Most wrinkle creams work at the surface — they hydrate, they reflect light, sometimes they thin out the top layer of skin (retinol). None of them rebuild the structural collagen in the dermis that’s actually causing your wrinkles. Sculpté works at a different level: 2% GHK-Cu copper peptide signals your fibroblasts to make collagen and elastin again, 200Da collagen actually penetrates the skin to reach those cells, hyaluronic acid plumps from beneath, niacinamide repairs the barrier. It’s a fundamentally different mechanism — which is why customers who’d tried No7, Olay, L’Oréal, The Ordinary and every other cream going see results with this one. And no red, flaky, peeling skin like retinol.

Yes. Apply Sculpté to clean, dry skin morning and night. SPF goes on top in the morning. Hyaluronic acid layers cleanly underneath. Niacinamide and peptides are fully compatible. One thing to know: don’t apply Sculpté at the same time as Vitamin C or retinol — the chemistry doesn’t mix. Alternate them: Vitamin C in the morning and Sculpté at night, or retinol one night and Sculpté the next.

It’s a different tool. Botox temporarily paralyses the muscle so the wrinkle smooths out for 3–4 months. Sculpté rebuilds the collagen underneath the wrinkle so it stays softer for as long as you use it. Different mechanisms, different commitments. Botox costs €300–€440 every 12 weeks in Ireland — that’s €1,200–€1,800 a year. Sculpté lives in your bathroom cabinet for around €49. For women who don’t want needles, can’t justify the ongoing cost, or worry about the long-term “flattened forehead” effect dermatologists are now warning about — Sculpté delivers real, measurable softening without any of that.

With twice-daily use on the face and neck, one 60g jar typically lasts 8 to 10 weeks. We recommend committing to at least the full 8-week protocol — that’s when the deeper wrinkle softening really shows. Most customers buy our 4-jar bundle so they have a full course on the shelf.

We recommend pausing during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There’s no known harm — but there are no robust safety studies on copper peptide use in pregnancy specifically, so our default advice is precautionary. Check with your midwife before adding any new active.

Every order comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked. Use the full jar. If your wrinkles haven’t visibly softened, post the empty jar back and we’ll refund you in full. No subscription trap. No “must be unopened” clause. We stand behind the product because we know how many creams you’ve probably already tried — and we want you to test this one without any financial risk.
