Demi Moore’s recent appearances, most notably in the Paramount+ series Landman, have left fans wondering how she maintains such radiant, firm skin. While she credits a "less is more" philosophy, her routine centers on a high-tech "powerhouse" serum that targets the skin's ability to repair itself. And I myself have used it.
- Demi Moore currently stars in the Paramount+ series, Landman.
- The 63-year-old actress includes Niod Copper Amino Isolate 3 Serum, $62 (£46 for UK-based shoppers) in her skincare routine.
- Demi says it helps to "uplift" her skin.
According to a report in Harpers Bazaar, Demi uses Niod Copper Amino Isolate 3 Serum, $62 (or £46 if you're in the UK) to enhance her glow, reduce visible lines and wrinkles and to smooth skin. Her routine is believed to include this serum in the morning and evening, which she says makes her skin "feel uplifted".
© InstagramI love that Demi has a "less is more" approach to skincare, using a few key products rather than a beauty bag full of lotions and potions.
Demi's serum - the details:
- Texture: Water-based, brown-tinted, and ultra-lightweight.
- Target: Firmness, texture, and deep-set wrinkles (like "11" lines).
- Demi's technique: Demi follows up with a rose quartz sculpting tool to boost blood flow and enhance the lifting effect.
- Key ingredients: Tripeptide-29, Tripeptide-1 Copper Acetate and Tripeptide-1 Acetate.
- Claims: The brand claim this serum helps to firm the skin and encourage self-repair while improving elasticity, restoring skin texture and repair visible signs of aging.
Pro Tip: Because it’s water-based, apply this as your very first step in your skincare routine, whether in the morning or at night.
Honest review: Does it live up to the hype?
It'll come as no surprise to my avid readers that I've tried the Niod Copper Amino Isolate serum 3 (is there any I haven't?) and actually bought this one of my own accord. I used to layer it under the SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture for daytime, and found it definitely gave a glow to the skin. It helped to smooth lines and improve texture but one thing I found that it didn't help with was any redness, which is why I stopped using it.
It's brown in colour, and because it is water-based, it's super lightweight and absorbs into the skin extremely quickly. Ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive, it can be used in the morning and evening as the first step of your skincare routine after cleansing.
One area this serum really did improve was my '11' frown lines, which is worth its weight in gold if you ask me!
I found a more affordable copper serum from The Ordinary. The Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum, $32 (for UK-shoppers, it costs £28.90) targets dryness, signs of ageing and is designed to improve skin's elasticity as well as softening lines and wrinkles.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Gives a 'lit from within' glow
- Great for sensitive skin
Cons:
- I found it did nothing to help with redness or rosacea
- The packaging can be fragile and can leak during delivery
- Expensive

Like me, many shoppers love this serum - one even called it a "powerhouse". "It absorbs quickly and layers perfectly under my other skincare. This serum is lightweight, non-sticky, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and balanced. If you’re looking for a powerhouse serum with anti-aging and skin repairing benefits, this is it!"
After using it, another commented: "I stare in amazement at how it makes the wrinkles just POOF, go away." Others commented on how some "clear and smooth" their skin looked after using it, and others even found it helped to clear acne.
On the negative side, it wasn't the product itself people had a problem with, but the bottle. Some found theirs had leaked in transit, and that they received under-filled bottles. The brand always replies to these comments though, and appears to go above and beyond to rectify any issues which we love to see.
