After 28 days of religious use, it is time to reveal the results of the Kinerase C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment experiment. Kinerase C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment makes the following claims: 1) noticeably younger-looking skin in 28 days, 2) reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 34.9%, 3) improves additional signs of aging. Let’s break these down shall we?
Noticeably younger-looking skin in 28 days. Noticeable to whom exactly? The product delivers general improvements in skin texture, but I doubt anyone other than the user would notice the mostly imperceptible changes.
Reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 34.9%. I have to call bullshit on this one. In actuality, 11% is a generous characterization of the wrinkle reduction capabilities of this product.
Improves additional signs of aging. This is a pretty broad and vague claim, but “additional signs of aging” includes (at a minimum) a reduction in hyper-pigmentation, improved texture, and less breakouts. C8 does little to nothing for hyper-pigmentation or discoloration. Kinerase improves skin texture and make-up glides on beautifully, but the moisturizing properties are insufficient to make it an all-in-one complete product. As for breakouts, incidentally, yes, Kinerase will help, but acne relief isn’t the targeted aim of this product.
In sum, Kinerase C8 is a pretty decent product and a good way to work the benefits of kinetin, a semi-rare ingredient, into your regime. When taking into consideration the hefty price though, many of you may be disappointed by the lack of dramatic results.
By day fifteen, a major purge begins and weird impurities emerge from the cheeks and jaw line. This creates a serious temptation to extract, but self-control is the order of the day. A hen-pecked look just won’t do for an event this Friday.
On day seventeen, met up with a friend who described my face as “glowy.” One more night of treatment must eliminate any remaining imperfections.
Today is the big day and skin is looking pretty great, but four days (or 20) was barely enough time to make that happen. After sweating whether or not C8 has the power to uncover the freshness, it is obvious that there just isn’t enough resurfacing action in this product when used alone.
After stumbling in inebriated, it is a wonder the treatment even made it on last night. As a result of its application, my face looks better than I feel.
No longer able to resist, my own lack of will power caused reaggravation. This episode confirmed my previous suspicions that Kinerase C8 Intensive Treatment does not make an ideal spot treatment.
After three weeks, skin still feels and looks better immediately after application, but cumulative results are negligible to non-existent. Next week will conclude the experiment, and perhaps the true test of Kinerase will be whether it is missed when it is gone.
This week, the resurfacing benefits of Kinerase C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment kicked in. By the eighth day, one spot basically vanished and the other is flaking off. No new redness or inflammation has developed. The next morning, make-up applies effortlessly. By day nine, cumulative results seem like a meaningful possibility. 
Skin is imparted with a pearlescent quality on day ten. The treatment improves skin texture, making it appear different, better, smoother, and more even. By day eleven, façade looks better than it has in a while. Skin feels cool to the touch, and the under eye skin nourished.
Noticeable flaking in some areas triggers the need for daily physical exfoliation – an absolute necessity for uncovering the sought-after freshness.
Over the final two days of the second week, C8′s purging impurities, but it hasn’t done a lot for reducing the appearance of fine lines or hyper-pigmentation. At what amounts to (conservatively) $2 a day for a 28 day treatment, the next two weeks must bring more than imperceptible improvements to justify Kinerase’s expense. 
Kinerase claims that C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment creates younger looking skin in 28 days. The active ingredients are essentially Kinetin, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, white tea, and Acetyl Octapeptide 3.
Days 1-7, average application: 5 pumps
Truthfully, after going in for some regrettable extractions last night, this morning’s face still shows the evidence. While each morning skin texture looks better than the night before, there have yet to be much in the way of cumulative results. So far it has been the same two steps forward, one step back when it comes to Kinerase C8. Day five, the re-aggravated hot spots have not completely subsided, but the overall skin tone appears more even. No new blemishes have emerged since treatment has commenced. Though it contains vitamin A, it is not a strong exfoliator. This serum is calming, but not the most “active” product when it comes to skin resurfacing.
On day six, woke up wishing this stuff was a bit more emollient. Stubborn spots still present, but hyper-pigmentation appears less noticeable. Hot spots chilled out overnight. After the seven days, there is notable improvement in skin texture to the touch. To make Kinerase C8 worth the investment, the next seven days must bring a marked improvement in visible skin texture.
