Face Reality Cran Peptide — antioxidant moisturizer for acne-prone and aging skin
Size: 2 oz / 60ml
What it does for your skin
A lightweight antioxidant moisturizer that bridges the gap between acne treatment and anti-aging. Formulated with cranberry fruit extract, Matrixyl Synthe'6 peptide, copper lysinate/prolinate, and a powerful botanical complex to protect against environmental damage, support collagen production, and keep acne-prone skin clear — all in one daily moisturizer.
Key benefits
- Cranberry extract delivers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl Synthe'6) stimulates collagen for firmer skin
- Copper Lysinate/Prolinate supports collagen synthesis and wound healing
- Totarol provides natural antimicrobial action against acne-causing bacteria
- Neem leaf extract keeps pores clear and reduces congestion
- Witch hazel tones and refines without stripping
- 100% acne-safe formula
Best for
Acne-prone skin that is also starting to show signs of aging — fine lines, loss of firmness, or environmental damage. The moisturizer I recommend when clients ask how to treat acne and aging at the same time without using two separate products. Also excellent for clients in their 30s and 40s who are still experiencing breakouts.
How to use
Apply morning and evening after serum has fully absorbed. Use a small amount and blend evenly. Follow with SPF 50 in the morning. Safe to use alongside all Face Reality acne treatment products.
Jasmine's note
“This is one of those products that sounds unusual but works beautifully. Cranberry is a powerhouse antioxidant and the peptides add a firming element that most acne moisturizers completely skip. I recommend it to clients in their 30s and 40s who want prevention and treatment in one moisturizer — they don't want to choose between clearing their skin and taking care of aging. Cran Peptide means they don't have to.”

Frequently asked questions
Can I really treat acne and aging at the same time with one moisturizer?
Yes — and this is exactly the product I reach for when that's the goal. The totarol and neem keep the skin clear while the Matrixyl Synthe'6 peptide and copper complex address collagen and firmness. These ingredients don't conflict — they work on completely different mechanisms. You don't have to choose between clear skin and healthy aging.
What makes cranberry such a powerful antioxidant for skin?
Cranberries have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any fruit, rich in proanthocyanidins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and resveratrol. These compounds neutralize free radicals from UV exposure and pollution that break down collagen and cause premature aging. Applied topically, cranberry extract delivers this antioxidant protection directly to the skin where it's needed most.
What is copper lysinate/prolinate and what does it do?
Copper peptides are one of the most researched anti-aging ingredients available. Copper lysinate/prolinate is a bioavailable form of copper that supports collagen and elastin synthesis, accelerates wound healing (including post-breakout healing), and has mild antimicrobial properties. Combined with the Matrixyl peptide in this formula it creates a genuinely comprehensive collagen-support complex.
Will this clog my pores?
No — the formula is built on caprylic/capric triglyceride and coco-caprylate/caprate, two of the most skin-compatible and non-comedogenic emollients available. Every ingredient has been vetted for acne safety. This is a Face Reality product specifically designed for acne-prone skin, so pore safety is a non-negotiable part of the formulation.
How do I choose between the Face Reality moisturizers?
Face Reality has four moisturizers and each one serves a distinct purpose — here is how to choose:
- Clearaderma — you are actively in an acne clearing protocol and need a moisturizer that supports clearing, controls oil, and keeps skin calm while your actives work. This is the one.
- Cran Peptide — your acne is clearing or cleared and you want to start working on aging, antioxidant protection, and firming. Or you are in your 30s-40s dealing with both acne and aging at the same time.
- Barrier Care Gel Cream — your skin barrier is compromised — stinging from products that never bothered you before, persistent redness, tight feeling after washing. Focus entirely on barrier repair before anything else.
- HydraRemedy Gel Serum — this is a serum, not a traditional moisturizer, but it works as your hydration layer before your moisturizer. Use it if your skin is dehydrated, reactive, or needs deep multi-layer hydration support.
