When navigating the world of advanced skincare, few products spark as much curiosity as the transition from the classic "Buffet" to the more robust Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1%. As someone who has spent years curating a routine to address skin texture and overall vitality, I have found that understanding the nuances of these formulations is key to achieving consistent results.
The Evolution of the Formula
It is important to clarify that "Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1% is now Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum. While the name has shifted to better reflect its composition, the core philosophy remains the same: it is a multi-technology serum targeting signs of aging.
In my personal regimen, I view this as an all-rounder serum that helps to improve overall skin health. Unlike single-ingredient products, this water-based face serum that targets multiple signs of aging functions by combining a complex profile of amino acids and peptides with the specific inclusion of GHK-Cu (copper peptides).
Why Copper Peptides Stand Out
The inclusion of copper peptides is what differentiates this from the original "Buffet." From a technical standpoint, the copper peptide is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient. I’ve noticed that when I incorporate this into my evening routine, it provides a sense of resilience to my skin barrier. Because it is a lightweight, multi-technology peptide serum, it absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue, making it a good skincare product for face and neck application.
It is worth noting for those sensitive to chemistry that the Copper Peptides version is slightly more alkaline (typically around a pH of 6.0) compared to the original, which sits closer to the skin’s natural range of 4.5 to 5.5. In my own use, I have found this difference negligible, but it is a helpful detail for those who track their product pH levels.

When people ask if Copper Peptides are included in addition to the standard Buffet formulation, the answer is a resounding yes. You are essentially getting the foundational support of the original peptide blend, bolstered by the targeted, vibrant blue copper complex.
Here is how I integrate it:
1. Consistency: I treat this as a foundational layer. Since it is a Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum, it works best on clean, slightly damp skin.
2. Layering: I often alternate or stack it with other non-conflicting actives. Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% (previously “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1%) is a comprehensive formula which utilizes multiple skin support technologies
3. Observation: Over time, I’ve The Ordinary “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1% combines the benefits of our well-loved “Buffet” serum from The Ordinary, and copper peptides found noticed an improvement in the appearance of skin firmness and a general "plumpness" that I associate with better hydration and structural support.
