Peptide moisturizer with a completely dry finish; a solid budget pick for some.

What the community says

Backed by 6 studies

A peptide moisturizer built around Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 and Pentapeptide-48, with glycerin, betaine, and shea butter for a straightforward daily cream. It fits shoppers wanting an inexpensive peptide step, though dry-down can leave dry skin questioning the hydration.
