what it does

Short chains of amino acids that act as cell-signalling molecules, prompting skin to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Different peptide types target different skin concerns.

dermai take

Basically DMs to your skin cells telling them to act their age and make more collagen. Science is legit, results are slower and subtler than retinoids, but these play nice with everything. Solid for the 'maintain and prevent' phase.
