Agency Skin™ Introduces Peptide Renewal Hand Cream™, With Clinical Testing Showing Hydration for Up to 100 Hours

New patent-pending formula maintained hydration after a single application as participants continued their normal routines, including handwashing

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Agency Skin™ today announced the launch of Peptide Renewal Hand Cream™, its first hand cream, which improved hydration for up to 100 hours after a single application in clinical testing. Participants continued their normal daily routines during testing, with no changes to handwashing or skincare.¹

The formula combines a matrix of eight peptides with a blend of five ceramides, cholesterol, and phospholipids modeled on the skin's own lipid composition. The peptides help visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the hands, while the lipid blend helps support the skin's moisture barrier. Shea butter and squalane help soften rough cuticles and smooth dry hands. The rich cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

"Handwashing is part of everyone's day, and it's one reason hands can be hard to keep hydrated," said Dr. Whitney Tolpinrud, Chief Dermatologist at Agency Skin. "When we tested this formula, we wanted to answer a practical question. How long could one application keep hands hydrated if people kept washing them as often as they usually do?"

Clinical results

• Lasting hydration: A single application helped keep skin moisturized for up to 100 hours.¹
• Improved elasticity: Skin elasticity improved after four weeks of twice-daily use.²
• Healthier-looking nails: After four weeks of twice-daily use, 100% of participants showed healthier-looking nails.³

Agency Skin's patent-pending formula

Peptide Renewal Hand Cream is designed to address moisture retention, skin texture, and cuticle care through three groups of ingredients:

• Eight-peptide matrix: Helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Skin lipid complex: Combines five ceramides, cholesterol, and phospholipids to help support the skin's moisture barrier.
• Emollients and humectants: Squalane, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate, jojoba seed oil, and allantoin help attract and retain moisture and soften dry skin and rough cuticles.

The launch expands Agency Skin's non-prescription skincare range beyond facial care. Agency Skin also offers personalized prescription formulas through licensed medical providers.
