Triple Peptide + Cactus Oasis Serum
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
A well-built hydrating peptide serum for dry skin, with a genuine Matrixyl 3000 pairing high on the label and four hyaluronic acid weights doing the plumping work. The third peptide is more label distinctiveness than proven extra, and the cactus and fruit extracts are texture and story rather than tracked actives. A sensible mid-tier pick if the four-HA claim and the hydration story are the draw.
- Evidence18 / 30
Strength of the research behind the key actives
- Matrixyl 3000: moderate evidence
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: limited evidence
- Hyaluronic Acid: moderate evidence
The average of the key actives’ evidence grades.
- Potency20 / 25
Dosed at studied levels, not fairy-dusted
- Matrixyl 3000: dosed at a studied level
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: present, but below a studied dose
- Hyaluronic Acid: dosed at a studied level
How strongly the actives are dosed, led by the strongest, not how many there are.
- Delivery & stability14 / 20
Delivery tech + packaging that protects fragile actives
- Delivery: standard
- Packaging: tinted glass
- No fragile actives here, so packaging barely moves the score.
Delivery tech plus packaging, and packaging only counts when actives are fragile.
- Formulation4 / 10
Disclosure, active breadth, and ingredient generation
- 0 of 3 actives disclose a concentration
- 3 key actives (breadth credit caps at 3)
- Current-generation or synergistic: Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Matrixyl 3000 | n/a | Studied |
| Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 | n/a | Light |
| Hyaluronic Acid | n/a | Studied |
The two named peptides Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 are the same Matrixyl 3000 pairing used elsewhere in this catalog, joined by Palmitoyl Tripeptide-28, a proprietary third peptide with no independent studied-dose record of its own. All three sit ahead of the four hyaluronic acid forms on the ingredient list, a reasonable sign they are not just fairy dust, even with no percentages disclosed. Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear cactus) stem extract and a run of fruit extracts supply the "oasis" moisture-binding story, and malachite extract reads as a trace-mineral flourish rather than a studied active. The dark tinted glass pump suits the brand look more than it protects these particular actives, since peptides and hyaluronic acid are not notably air- or light-sensitive.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
