About LAB31B - NEED•L MicroPeptide Needle Power Serum 30ml

In short: LAB31B’s hero “microneedling in a bottle” serum. Over 10,000 peptide-infused hyaluronic acid micro-crystals per bottle create a tingling, needle-like sensation as you massage them in, then melt to deliver PowerPeptide-5, bakuchiol and hyaluronic acid. It targets smile lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles, with no needles and no downtime.

LAB31B NEED•L MicroPeptide Needle Power Serum 30ml

The NEED•L MicroPeptide Needle Power Serum is the signature product from LAB31B (LAB 31B), the peptide brand founded by molecular biologist Dr Elina Tester. Its MicroMelt technology suspends more than 10,000 crystallised hyaluronic acid “MicroPeptide Needles” in a silky serum. As you massage it in, the crystals create microscopic pathways before melting, so the hyaluronic acid and peptides can soak into the skin’s surface.

Inside are LAB31B’s exclusive anti-wrinkle peptides, PowerPeptide-5 (acetyl SH-nonapeptide-5), and bakuchiol, the plant-based alternative to retinol. They target smile lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles by helping to support collagen, for skin that looks firmer, smoother and younger. People searching for a “microneedling serum” or “needle serum” to use at home will find this a gentle, needle-free alternative. LAB31B is distributed in the UK through its official exclusive partner, and we sell it at UK retail price.

Frequently asked questions

Is LAB31B really “microneedling in a bottle”?

It is a topical, needle-free serum inspired by microneedling. Hyaluronic acid micro-crystals give a gentle needle-like sensation and help deliver actives into the skin’s surface layers as they melt. It does not puncture the skin like a professional microneedling treatment.

Does it hurt?

No. Most people feel a light prickle or tingle while massaging, which fades as the crystals dissolve.

Can I use it with retinol or acids?

It already contains bakuchiol. If you use strong retinoids or exfoliating acids, start slowly, for example on alternate evenings, and see how your skin responds.

When will I see results?

LAB31B reports skin looking glowier and bouncier within 2 weeks in its user perception study, with continued improvement over 4 weeks.

Is it genuine?

Yes. We source LAB31B through its official UK distribution.
