Agency Skin Moves Beyond the Face With Its First Hand Cream Launch

What happened

On November 4, 2026, San Diego-based Agency Skin launched Peptide Renewal Hand Cream, the brand's first hand cream. The company says the patent-pending formula kept hands hydrated for up to 100 hours after one application in a 35-person clinical study, even as participants kept washing their hands as usual. It sells for $50 per 50 ml tube on agencyskin.com.

The product extends Agency Skin's non-prescription line past facial care into a new category. The formula pairs eight peptides, aimed at the look of fine lines on the hands, with ceramides, cholesterol and phospholipids meant to support the moisture barrier, plus shea butter and squalane for cuticles. The launch is led by the company's chief dermatologist, Dr. Whitney Tolpinrud, and its clinical claims give marketers concrete proof points to build a new-category awareness push around.
