Peptides Made Simple: Everything you need to know about adding a peptide product to your skincare routine
Peptides are one of the most hyped skincare ingredients right now—but what do they actually do? In this episode, we break down peptides in simple, no-BS terms. You’ll learn what peptides are, the different types used in skincare, what results are realistic, how to choose a peptide serum, and whether you really need peptides in every product. Plus, I’ll share some of my favorite peptide products at both luxury and budget-friendly price points.
If peptides have ever confused you—or felt overpromised—this episode will make it click.
