How to pick a serum, build a simple routine, and mix ingredients — plus the sales claims you can safely ignore.
How to Choose a Peptide Serum
To pick a good peptide serum: check it names the actual peptides (not just "peptide complex"), lists them fairly high up in the ingredients, comes in packaging that keeps out air and light, and talks about how your skin looks rather than making medical promises. Be careful with "topical Botox" talk, miracle promises, and any "research use only" powder being sold to you as skincare..
Peptide Serum vs Retinol: Which Fits Your Routine?
Retinol (a retinoid) has the stronger, more trusted research for how ageing skin looks — but it can irritate your skin. Peptides are gentler and easier on your skin, but the research behind them is weaker.
