IDENEL Professional · PEPTAXEL™ · ALTUM® Peptide technology
«Glass skin» describes a smooth, translucent and reflective skin surface — an effect many clinics today pursue with IDENEL's 2-step PEPTAXEL™ system. Here we go through the technology, the clinical protocol and what you can expect from the treatment, step by step.
The glass skin trend started in Korean skincare and describes skin that appears even, plump and light-reflecting — almost like glass. IDENEL's PEPTAXEL™ Glassifier programme is built specifically to address this kind of skin quality through a combined cosmetic protocol, not a single product.
At the core of the system is ALTUM® Peptide — IDENEL's patented technology that combines microscopic spicules with GHK peptide to support the penetration of active ingredients deeper into the skin than topical application alone would allow.
PEPTAXEL™ is mixed fresh before every treatment: one Solution Powder (step 1) is combined with one Concentrate ampoule (step 2). BC Nordics distributes the Intensive variant of the powder, plus two concentrates — Brightening and Regeneration — so the practitioner can choose according to the patient's skin goals.
Dry powder with ALTUM® Peptide, niacinamide, adenosine and acetyl tripeptide-84. Contributes to firmer, more elastic skin and provides nourishment and moisture retention. Mixed with one of the concentrates immediately before use.
Ampoule with ALTUM® Peptide, glutathione, arbutin, niacinamide and 12 vitamins. Contributes to a brighter, more even skin tone. Mixed with Solution Powder immediately before use.
Ampoule with ALTUM® Peptide, Sodium DNA, 13 amino acids, adenosine, niacinamide, glutathione and tocopherol. Contributes to a more rejuvenated and vital skin appearance with antioxidant protection. Mixed with Solution Powder immediately before use.
Versatile serum with tranexamic acid, glutathione, copper tripeptide-1, hyaluronic acid and adenosine. Applied topically after PEPTAXEL, preferably with a low-pressure skin-specific delivery device. Can also be used separately with microneedling.
Gentle massage to remove impurities with a cleanser. After cleansing, a toner-moistened cotton pad is used to remove remaining residue and refine the skin's texture.
The chosen concentrate (Brightening or Regeneration) is poured into the powder and stirred thoroughly with a spatula until the powder has fully dissolved. The mixture is applied in the order jawline → cheeks → nose → forehead (avoiding the eyes and mouth), with extra attention to the nasolabial folds and the wrinkles around the eyes.
Apply in sections and massage in immediately — not the whole face at once. Press gently with the fingertips rather than rubbing, to avoid irritation.
Applied topically after the PEPTAXEL treatment, preferably delivered deeper into the skin with a low-pressure skin-specific device.
A sheet mask is applied without removing the PEPTAXEL mixture, and is left on for 10–15 minutes. Residue is patted off gently with the outer side of the mask — do not rub.
A PDRN-containing regenerating cream is applied generously, followed by a sun serum with regenerating ingredients. A mist can be used through the day if extra hydration is needed.
Based on IDENEL's official material. Changes vary from person to person and by skin type.
| Timing | What you may notice |
| Days 1–2 | A slight sensation of warmth; the skin may appear somewhat swollen. |
| Days 2–3 | The skin may feel dry and tight, with a slightly rough surface to the touch. |
| Days 3–5 | Light flaking may occur as old skin renews naturally. |
Glass Skin is the name of the result often associated with IDENEL's PEPTAXEL™ Glassifier programme — a 2-step cosmetic treatment that combines a powder (Solution Powder) with an ampoule (Concentrate) immediately before use. The formulation is built around IDENEL's patented ALTUM® Peptide technology and is followed by a deep-acting Glutagen Skin Booster application.
Both are mixed with Intensive Solution Powder in step 2, but address different skin goals. Brightening Concentrate contains glutathione and arbutin and contributes to a brighter, more even skin tone. Regeneration Concentrate contains Sodium DNA, 13 amino acids and tocopherol, and contributes to a more rejuvenated and vital skin appearance with antioxidant protection. The practitioner chooses the concentrate according to the patient's skin goals.
ALTUM® Peptide is IDENEL's patented technology that combines microscopic spicules with GHK peptide to support the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. The technology is used throughout the PEPTAXEL™ system, including Intensive Solution Powder, Brightening Concentrate and Regeneration Concentrate.
According to IDENEL's official treatment guide, the treatment is recommended every 2 weeks, with a total of 5 sessions in a full course. A new course can be repeated after 2–3 months if needed.
IDENEL's material describes that during the first 1–2 days the skin may feel warm and somewhat swollen. On days 2–3 the skin may feel dry and tight, with a slightly rough surface. On days 3–5 light flaking may be seen as old skin renews. This varies from person to person, and the products are cosmetic, not medical.
Yes. Glutagen Skin Booster M can be used as a standalone serum in connection with microneedling or RF microneedling, in addition to forming step 3 of the full Glassifier protocol.
No. Intensive Solution Powder, Brightening Concentrate, Regeneration Concentrate and Glutagen Skin Booster are all cosmetic skincare products intended for professional clinical use — not medical devices or injectable products.
BC Nordics distributes the IDENEL PEPTAXEL™ range to clinics in the Nordics, with fast delivery and professional support.
