As a seasoned beauty expert constantly on the prowl for the hottest skincare innovations, my latest obsession is Nip + Fab’s newest launch, the Peptide Finishing Oil 2%. At £29.95, it promises to hit the refresh button on your skin with its peptide formula, giving you that youthful bounce back.
This potent oil has been hailed as ‘truly magical’ by users, with one crowning it as the ‘best peptides I have ever used’. For those unfamiliar with the anti-ageing powerhouse, peptides work to improve the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which in turn firms the skin.
Unlike some face oils that can feel heavy or greasy, this one is lightweight and non-greasy, making it an easy addition to any skincare routine. Nip + Fab describes it as the “perfect last step” — all it needs is a good shake before application.

Clinical studies stand by its wrinkle-reducing claims that it knocks off up to 45.79% of fine lines within a month, as well as an impressive 13.50% increase in skin tone uniformity over two months, Manchester Evening News reports. In a trial, an impressive 82% cited plumper-looking skin after the eight-week mark; brighter complexions were noted by 91%, and another 82% felt their skin looked visibly lifted.
As well as trial results, this Peptide Finishing Oil has been lauded by shoppers far and wide, amassing a hefty average rating of 4.8 stars. Some customers have already repeat purchases, with one commenting: “I have used one bottle of peptide fix and ordered another one.”
Another added: “This is the best peptide I have ever used; (it) immediately makes skin plump and hydrated. This is truly magical. Highly recommended.”
Meanwhile, a savvy shopper shared their switch from a pricier option, admitting, “I’ve used another, more expensive peptide serum for a couple of years but can honestly say I prefer this serum. I like the texture, and my skin feels hydrated afterwards. Great purchase.”
However, skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, as a less impressed patron pointed out: “Despite using the product consistently, I didn’t notice any significant impact on my skin. Given the promise of peptides for hydration and skin repair, I had hoped for more visible improvements. It might be helpful if the product came with clearer instructions for accurate usage, as I followed the standard application process but didn’t see the benefits I expected.”
But someone else raved: “I’ve noticed a difference in my skin from the first time I used it… it looks refreshed and more plump.” Another person said, “I haven’t seen a major change in my skin yet, but it’s early days. The texture is so nice, feels amazing on your skin, and makes your skin feel so nourished.”
So, this might be the product to try next if you want to give your complexion a peptide-powered boost. You can shop the Peptide Finishing Oil 2% via Nip + Fab here.
For more peptide-infused beauty products, I also recommend Paula’s Choice’s new Pro-Collagen Peptide Launch, which includes a luxurious gel-cream moisturiser (£41.65) and gloss balm (£22.10). The balm has quickly become a permanent fixture in my handbag—and for good reason.
Its angled applicator helps it to glide on my lips seamlessly, leaving them instantly smoother and refreshed. It also has the perfect balance of a glossy finish and long-lasting hydration without feeling sticky.
Otherwise, The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide + HA Serum (£15.90) has hreceivedgreat feedback from shoppers. One person said: “I own a lot of high-end skincare, and I would put this product up against any of them any day of the week.
“It has many of the same ingredients as its more expensive counterparts. Plus, it works just as good, if not better.”
