About
About Peptide Skin Science
We're an independent site about peptides in skincare. We started it because the topic is so confusing and full of hype — and because hardly anyone bothers to clearly separate the peptides in your face cream from the medical, injectable kind.

What we do
We write simple guides, honest summaries of the research, ingredient breakdowns, and plain explainers of the rules. Every article follows the same recipe: a quick answer up top, an honest look at what an ingredient can and can’t really do, our sources, and a “what this does not mean” part so nothing gets over-read.
What makes us different
- We keep skincare and medical peptides totally separate. A face serum and an injection are not the same thing, and we never let advertising blur that.
- We don’t sell hype. We’d rather say “the proof is a bit thin” than “clinically proven” when that’s the truth.
- We show our work. Sources, limits, and update dates are on every page.
Who writes this
Our articles are researched, written, and fact-checked by the Peptide Skin Science team. We use trusted sources — real studies, official rules, and ingredient info — and write it in a way a normal person can actually use.
We are actively seeking qualified reviewers (a cosmetic chemist, pharmacist, or dermatologist) to formally review relevant articles, and we’ll name them here and on each reviewed page when they join. Until then, we do not claim medical review we don’t have. Our content is carefully researched cosmetic education — not a substitute for personal medical advice.
How we make money
Our first goal is to be a guide you can trust. Down the road we might sell a skincare product of our own, or point you to products we genuinely think are good. If we ever do, we’ll tell you plainly when we’re making money from it. What we won’t do is throw up fake “best product” lists just to game Google instead of helping you.
