If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought your skin was looking a little flat and tired, let us introduce you to the perfect pick-me-up: Trinny London’s Bounce Back Intense Peptide Moisturiser.
We’re big fans of Trinny London and its mould-breaking products here at Good Housekeeping HQ. Founded by beauty entrepreneur, Trinny Woodall, in 2017, the brand aims to make effortless, personalised skincare and makeup accessible to women of all ages.
Practical product innovation is at its heart, from those brilliant stackable sets that pack a full face of makeup into convenient, transportable pots (perfect for stashing in your holiday carry-on), to skincare products that genuinely do what they promise, and can be narrowed down by skin concern or type on the website.
Every release has a clear purpose to it, and the plumping Bounce Back Intense Peptide Moisturiser is one of the brand's bestsellers, promising to boost hydration, restore plumpness and replenish your skin barrier. The coral pink packaging will also look gorgeous on your bathroom shelf...

Why Bounce Back is the perfect solution for midlife skin
As we age, our collagen production naturally decreases, contributing to fine lines and loss of firmness. At the same time, hormonal changes linked to perimenopause and menopause in our 40s and 50s can cause the skin to become drier and thinner. Midlife skin requires a whole new set of rules and skincare.
That’s where Bounce Back comes in. The ultra-hydrating, collagen-boosting and barrier-protecting moisturiser targets all the signs of a midlife skin crisis. It’s in the name.
The key ingredients to know
The secret? We asked Maria Kumar, the Good Housekeeping Institute’s beauty testing manager, to break down the moisturiser’s key ingredients.
- 4-Peptide complex: “This is the star of the show. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that make up precious proteins such as collagen and elastin, Aka, the perfect solution for firm, bouncy skin. This quadruple complex urges your skin to produce that plumping collagen, which works to make your complexion appear and feel more youthful.
- Hyaluronic acid: “This is a well-known humectant and is the go-to ingredient when you want a formula that’s going to hydrate your skin.”
- Phytosphingosine and Lactococcus ferment: “These two sound complex, and that’s because the science behind them is. They both work to reinforce the epidermis barrier function to help reduce moisture loss and keep your face hydrated for longer.”
- Squalane: “This is a moisturising, natural antioxidant that increases hydration levels and protects skin from damaging external stressors such as pollutants and daily grime.
- Oat Lipids: “The natural fats found in oats act as both a moisture-drawing humectant and a moisture-trapping occlusive to keep your skin quenched for longer. The best of both worlds.”
In its own consumer trials, Trinny London found the moisturiser immediately boosted hydration by 94%*. The effects are designed to be long-lasting too, thanks to those barrier-protecting properties. And consistent use should build your skin’s resilience over time. As one happy online reviewer put it: “It feels like it's feeding my skin.”
It’s nourished, rejuvenated skin in a bottle, and a refillable one at that. The first time you buy, pick up the full-sized tube. Then, whenever you run out, you just purchase the 50ml refill and it slots into the original packaging. Oh, and it's also available as a mini stackable pot alongside the brand's other skincare bestsellers – for all your holiday and festival needs.
Prepare to bounce back...
