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.

How to use a moisturiser
Apply 1-2 pumps to face and neck. For daytime, follow with a broad spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
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.
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 the texture you prefer. 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 Moisturizer for daytime use under sunscreen and makeup and the Intensive version as their night cream.
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.
The subtle pink hue comes from vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). Beyond giving the formula its colour, B12 delivers soothing antioxidant benefits to calm visible signs of sensitivity and help rebuild a healthy, resilient skin barrier.
We don’t recommend the Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer for acne-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 Moisturizer is best suited for those who prefer a richer cream and need more sustained hydration and comfort.
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 may be a better option.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
