"Peptides are the building blocks of proteins like collagen, elastin and keratin."
Dr. Whitney Bowe, board-certified dermatologist, as quoted in AllureSerums can run, drip, and end up on your hands. Peptide sticks from Peptide Sticks swipe exactly where you want support, keeping the formula on your skin and off your fingers.
A couple spins brings the stick up cleanly, ready to swipe straight from the stick.
Glide directly over the areas you want to firm, brighten, calm, refresh, or replenish.
Our peptide stick presses in within seconds, leaving skin soft, supported, and quietly refreshed.
Peptides are easy to layer with the actives already in your routine. They support visible firmness, comfort, and barrier resilience without the timing rules stronger ingredients often require.

Every pack is the same Collagen + Copper Peptide Stick, paid in full and refundable any time before it ships.
"Peptides are the building blocks of proteins like collagen, elastin and keratin. Without peptides, our skin doesn't remain intact, and the result can be loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, changes in texture, and less 'bounce.'"
Every ingredient does one of three jobs. Here they are, with what is doing the work.
Matrixyl 3000 is the peptide pairing most associated with the look of firmness, held right where you swipe it.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
GHK-Cu has one of the deepest research bases of any cosmetic peptide, and it rides in the same swipe as the Matrixyl.
Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu)
A solid stick stays exactly where you swipe it. No droppers, no runoff, no waste on your fingertips.
15 g anhydrous stick · 100+ swipes
Most balm sticks are held together by butters that go soft above room temperature. Ours is being built on a clear, heat stable base instead, and that choice buys you three things.
It is a solid, so it does not count against your carry-on liquids and there is nothing to leak in a dop kit. Purse, gym bag, overnight bag, done.
15 g solid · no 3-1-1 bag
The base is being structured to hold its shape in a bag in August, then still glide when you twist it up. No soft, collapsed mess at the top of the barrel.
Heat stable base · anhydrous
Nobody sat you down at thirteen and taught you a seven-step order of operations. You do not need one. Twist, swipe where it matters, get on with your day.

We are pre-launch, so there is no wall of five-star reviews here and we are not going to invent one. What we can show you is exactly how far along the first stick is, and what still has to go right.
We signed with a contract cosmetic formulator this summer. They own the bench work: the peptide system, the base, and the processing route. We wrote the brief around what the stick has to do, not how to make it.
September 2026. Formulation is underway. What matters most to us is that the peptides are present at levels with research behind them, and that the formula stays stable in its package over time. We will show you results when we have them, not before.
The twist-up component is chosen and on its way to the lab. The formula has to hold up in it through heat, cold and months on a shelf before we order a production run.
Formula and packaging details can still change while development runs. Preorder customers get the update, and the final price, before any balance is charged.
These four are designed and waiting their turn on the bench. One vote each, no email needed. Whichever stick is in the lead goes into development after this one.

Bars show demand relative to the stick in the lead. You get one vote, and you can move it whenever you change your mind.
We're prelaunch, still formulating and choosing our manufacturer. Here's exactly how it works, with no spin. Don't see your question? Email hi@peptidesticks.com. A real human answers.
Our honest target is the when it is ready, and that date moved because the packaging turned out to sit on the critical path. Here is the real sequence: a contract formulator is signed and the first stick is on the bench now, the twist-up component has to pass compatibility testing before we can order it, and the components are then made and shipped by sea. We would rather move the date than rush a stick we are not proud of. Preorder customers get timing updates as soon as anything changes.
You are buying one stick from the first run outright. Nothing further is charged. You pay the price shown and nothing further. Before it ships, we'll send formula updates, timing, and your credit details so you can complete, switch, or cancel.
Your preorder holds your place for a stick from the launch run if you decide to complete your order. It also puts you ahead of the public launch list.
Yes, anytime before your batch ships, for any reason. Your full refund returns to the original payment method within 3 to 5 business days. If the final offer is not right for you, you can walk away with a full refund.
You get a 100% refund. If formulation or manufacturing falls through, we return every dollar before we wind anything down. We'd rather refund and rebuild than ship something half-good.
For hygiene reasons we can't accept returns on opened sticks, but you can swap your stick anytime before your batch ships, no fee. After it ships, email hi@peptidesticks.com within 30 days and we'll help you troubleshoot pairings, layering, or routine fit. We want you in the right stick, not just any stick.
It depends on how and where you use it. Each stick holds 100+ targeted swipes, so most people get weeks to a few months from one. Spot-treating under-eyes stretches it further; full-face daily use lands on the shorter end.
Yes. Peptides are some of the most layer-friendly actives in skincare. A typical evening: cleanse → peptide stick → retinol (if you use it) → moisturizer. Barrier Support is especially good as a buffer after stronger actives.
A clear, solid stick built on a heat stable base, so it glides on and stays where you put it instead of melting away in your bag. Made without added fragrance or dyes. Planned for manufacture in a cGMP cosmetic facility.
That is exactly what the base is chosen to prevent. Most balm sticks are held together by butters with a low melt point, which is why they go soft in a hot car or a gym bag. Ours is being built on a heat stable base instead, so it holds its shape and still glides when you twist it up. Stability through heat, cold and months on a shelf is part of what the lab is testing before we order a production run.
We optimized for performance, not for a clean-label badge. There is no added fragrance, no dyes, no essential oils, no drying alcohols and no menthol or tingle actives, and that stays true. But where a synthetic ingredient does the job better and is well studied, we use it and we tell you which one. The base that keeps this stick solid in a warm bag is a good example.
The format is the magic. Sticks let you control exactly where the active goes: a concentrated dose on the spots that need it, with none wasted on areas that don't. They're also water free, which lets the peptides stay stable without heavy preservative systems.
