Benefits

Our clinically proven Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer is for skin that needs more than a quick hit of hydration.

This rich, cushiony cream is designed to help hydration go deeper and stay locked in, so dry skin feels moisturised and relieved for up to 120 hours. Powered by our plumping 3x Pro-Collagen Peptide Complex, this non-greasy formula traps water within skin’s surface using Red Micro-Algae Extract, while our Moisture-Locking Lipid Tech works to reinforce skin’s lipid barrier. The result? Skin looks plumper, smoother, and more replenished, while becoming better at retaining moisture over time.

At a glance:

  • Clinically proven to hydrate for up to 120 hours*
  • Clinically proven to improve the skin barrier within 24 hours**
  • Helps skin retain moisture longer
  • Visibly firms and smooths over time, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Absorbs easily with a rich, non-greasy feel

*Based on instrumental measurements from an independent clinical study of 35 subjects versus baseline.

**Based on instrumental measurements from an independent clinical study on 35 subjects after 24 hours.

Behind the science:

Dry skin loses moisture faster when its lipid barrier and NMFs (natural moisturising factors) start to deplete. This formula addresses both sides of the dry-skin equation, helping replenish NMFs while reinforcing the lipid barrier, slowing water loss so skin can better retain moisture. 3x Pro-Collagen Peptides also support and sustain healthy collagen and elastin levels to help skin look firmer and more resilient over time.

FAQs

What makes this formula different from other Paula’s Choice Moisturisers?

Like all Paula’s Choice moisturisers, this decadent cream is loaded with a mix of key ingredients skin needs to stay healthy and resilient; the difference is that this is our most hydrating formula ever. It includes 3X Peptide Complex and Moisture Lipid Technology that envelopes skin in deep, multi-level hydration for lasting comfort and a youthful, luminous glow that last days, not just hours.

What’s the difference between the Pro‑Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer and the Pro‑Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer?

Both moisturisers are powered by the same 3X Pro‑Collagen Peptide Complex to help support smoother, plumper, and firmer-looking skin. The main difference is the level of hydration they provide and their textures.   

Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer is a lightweight gel‑cream suitable for normal, combination, or oily skin and those who prefer a fast‑absorbing finish.   

Pro‑Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer is a richer cream designed for skin that needs more sustained hydration and comfort, especially if it tends to feel dry, tight, or dehydrated.  

Both formulas can be used morning and night, and you can switch between them as your skin’s needs change with the seasons, climate, or lifestyle. Some may prefer the lighter-weight original Peptide Moisturiser for daytime use under sunscreen and makeup and the Intensive version as their night cream. 

Who is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer ideal for?

The formula is suitable for dry, very dry or stressed skin types seeking a rich-yet-non-greasy cream that drenches skin in hydration and comfort while also helping to restore skin firmness, plumpness, and resiliency. 

Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer contain fragrance, dyes, or parabens? Is it vegan?

No, this product does not contain fragrances, dyes, or parabens. Yes, it is vegan.   

Note: This product does contain dimethicone, so it’s not considered silicone free.

Why does the Pro‑Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer come in an airless jar and not a pump bottle?

The Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer comes in an airless jar because its richer cream texture is best suited to this type of one-touch dispensing. The ergonomic push-pump makes the formula easy to dispense smoothly and consistently, without scooping from a traditional jar.

How long does it take to see visible results from the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer?

You’ll feel immediate benefits like deep hydration, softness, and surface plumping right after application. Improved elasticity, increased firmness, and a reduction in fine lines can take time because they rely on your skin's natural renewal process. Expect to see meaningful long-term improvements after eight weeks of daily use, with incrementally better results after eight weeks of daily use. As with all skincare, consistency is key to maintaining results.

Can I use the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer while pregnant or breastfeeding?

This peptide cream’s formula does not contain ingredients typically restricted during pregnancy. However, if you have questions about starting a new product while pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations.

Can I layer this peptide cream with actives like retinol, vitamin C, or exfoliants?

Yes, the peptides in this cream are incredibly versatile and play well with almost all active ingredients. In fact, pairing a peptide cream with retinol or vitamin C is ideal for maximum results.

Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer work well under makeup?

Yes. This peptide cream’s non-pilling, rich texture leaves skin with a soft and smooth base that works beautifully under multiple types of sunscreens, foundations, or skin tints with sunscreen.

Is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer good for sensitive or redness-prone skin?

Yes. The Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer was tested on sensitive skin and is formulated without fragrance. Designed to provide rich hydration and comfort, it's suitable for those with dry, sensitive skin. As with any new skincare product, patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin. If redness is your primary concern, our CALM collection may be a better option.

Is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer suitable for blemish-prone skin?

We don’t recommend the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer for blemish-prone skin. If you're looking for lightweight hydration, consider CLEAR Oil-Free Moisturizer. For peptide benefits in a lighter texture, try the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Moisturizer or add the weightless Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster to your existing moisturiser. The Intensive Moisturiser is best suited for those who prefer a richer cream and need more sustained hydration and comfort.

What gives the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer the pink tint?

The subtle pink hue comes from vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). Beyond giving the formula its color, B12 delivers soothing antioxidant benefits to calm visible signs of sensitivity and help rebuild a healthy, resilient skin barrier.

Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer have a scent?

While Paula's Choice products are fragrance-free, each product may have a unique, typically subtle scent due to the combination of ingredients it contains. Any noticeable scent will dissipate quickly after application.
