What it is
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Skincare uses many different types, so "peptides" is more of a category than a single ingredient. Korean formulas often place them in ampoules, creams, and eye products.
What it does
Depending on the type, peptides may support a firmer look, smoother texture, or better barrier comfort. They are popular because they fit into gentle routines without the drama of stronger resurfacing actives.
How to use it
Use peptide products consistently in the serum or moisturizer step. They pair well with hydrating and barrier ingredients, and are easy to combine with sunscreen-focused morning routines.
Good to know
Peptide results depend heavily on the specific peptide and formula. Avoid judging all peptides by one product.
