Description

They’re everywhere - in serums, eye creams, and moisturisers. But, what are peptides, how do they work, and should you actually be using them?


In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid break down the science behind peptides and reveal whether the claims really stack up. They tackle the big questions: Do peptides work outside the lab? How should they be applied? And is Argireline really “Botox in a bottle” or just another skincare myth?


Whether you’re a skincare obsessive or just peptide-curious, this episode will help you cut through the hype and decide what’s worth your time (and money).
