The step most people skip.
A serum is the only part of a routine that is almost entirely active and barely anything else. A cream has to be a cream first — an emulsion that spreads, sits and stays put — so a good part of what is in the jar is busy doing that job.
This is the step where the peptides go on first, on damp skin, before anything else seals them under. Skip it and the cream is doing two jobs at once.
Where this one sits
-
1
SerumYou are here Two or three drops on clean, slightly damp skin.
-
2
Cream A pea-sized amount over face and neck, half a minute later.
-
3
Eye cream A grain of rice per side, tapped around the orbital bone.
How to use it
Two minutes, morning and night. That is the whole routine.
- 01
Two or three drops
On clean, slightly damp skin. Press it in with your palms instead of rubbing.
- 02
Cream on top
Give it half a minute to absorb, then go over it with a moisturiser, face and neck.
- 03
Morning and night
Used twice a day, the 30 ml bottle lasts roughly two to three months.
What’s doing the work
The short version. The full INCI list is on the box, and none of it is a secret.
2% Hexapeptide-11
The through-line of all three products, at its highest concentration here.
Ginkgo biloba
A plant extract with a long history in cosmetic formulation, at 1%.
Hyaluronic acid
For the feel of hydrated skin under a light texture rather than a heavy one.
Bilberry seed oil
The carrier the rest of the formula sits in. It is what makes it absorb fast.

What’s actually in it.
Peptides
Short chains of amino acids, and the through-line of all three products. A 2% Hexapeptide-11 complex in the serum, and a clinical-grade complex in both the cream and the eye cream.
Ginkgo biloba
A plant extract with a long history in cosmetic formulation. In the serum, alongside the peptides.
Vitamins C and E
In the cream and the eye cream, the two that work as a pair.
Hyaluronic acid
In the serum and the cream, for the feel of hydrated skin under a light texture rather than a heavy one.
What is not in them
No animal-derived ingredients, no gluten, no nuts, and no GMO ingredients. The cream carries a soft floral note and the eye cream a light rose one. Both are subtle.
Questions.
What comes in the box?
All three: the Peptide Anti-Aging Serum (30 ml), the Peptide Ageless AM/PM Cream (50 ml) and the Peptide Age-Defying Eye Cream (15 ml). 95 ml in total.
Where do you ship from?
All orders ship from within the US. Delivery is 2–5 business days after a 2-day production window.
Do you ship outside the US?
Not yet. We’re US-only for now.
Can I buy just one of them?
Yes, all three sell separately. Together they come to $104 plus $7.95 shipping, so the box at $89.95 with free shipping is the cheaper way to get all three.
Can I use these together with other products?
Yes. The serum layers under any moisturiser, and the cream works over any serum. The three are designed as a set, but none of them need the others.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
All three are formulated for daily use, morning and night. The cream and the eye cream are lightly scented. Everyone’s skin is different — if yours reacts easily, patch test on your inner arm first.
My skin is dry rather than lined. Is this still for me?
Yes. The set is built around peptides for the look of fine lines, but all three are also formulated for dehydrated skin — light textures that layer, rather than one heavy cream. If dryness is your main complaint, the serum and the AM/PM cream are the two doing most of the work.
Are they vegan?
Yes. All three are vegan, gluten-free and nut-free.
Is the packaging recyclable?
The bottles and jars are, and they reach our facility in boxes made from recycled material. The formulas are also made without GMO ingredients. Check your local curbside rules for pumps and droppers — those vary by county.
What’s your returns policy?
Unopened items can be returned within 30 days. For hygiene reasons we can’t accept opened cosmetics.
How long does the box last?
Used morning and night, roughly two to three months. The eye cream will outlast the other two.
Reviews
Nobody has reviewed this yet. Northerly Skin is new, and we’re not going to write ourselves any. What we can show you instead is on the label: the certifications, the full ingredient list, where it is made, and 30 days to send it back unopened.
Be the first to rate it
Thirty days to decide it wasn’t for you.
Unopened, within 30 days, and you get your money back. There is no form designed to wear you down and nobody whose job is to talk you out of it. You are buying from a new brand with no reviews yet, so the risk should sit on our side of the table rather than yours.
