Concentrations
Concentration, openly.
Most peptide brands print a peptide name on the front of the bottle and a concentration nowhere. We do the opposite. Every OCTAVE serum prints the active percentage on the front, in monospace, below the product name.
Why? Because peptides only work at the percentages where they have been studied. Below that range, you are paying for marketing.
What's in every bottle
| Product | Hero peptide | Concentration | Range studied |
|---|---|---|---|
| OCTAVE 01 | Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) | 1.0% | 0.1–2.0% |
| OCTAVE 02 | Matrixyl 3000™ | 10% | 3–10% |
| OCTAVE 03 | Argireline® (AH-8) | 10% | 5–10% |
| OCTAVE 04 | Snap-8 + Eyeseryl® | 5% + 2% | 3–5% / 1–2% |
| OCTAVE 05 | GHK-Cu + Capixyl™ | 0.5% + 5% | 0.5–1% / 3–5% |
How we verify
Every batch is sent to an independent EU laboratory for HPLC peptide identity confirmation and quantitative assay. The certificate is linked via the QR code on each box and stored at octavelab.com/pages/lab-reports.
How most other brands hide it
Common patterns to watch for on competitor labels:
- "Contains copper peptide" with no percentage — the bottle might contain 0.01%.
- "Peptide complex" — a single drop of three peptides at total fraction of 0.5% advertised as if each were 0.5%.
- Encapsulated — a stability marketing term used to disguise underdose.
- "Up to" a percentage — means a single batch tested at that, not the actual ongoing dose.
None of these are deceptive in a legal sense. They simply tell you nothing useful. We chose not to ship anything that needed those words.
