humectant
The "holds 5,000× its weight in water" flex. Works like hyaluronic acid's richer cousin — sits on top of skin and locks moisture in.
peptide

The category is broad and evidence quality varies dramatically — some peptides (like Matrixyl) have decent clinical data, while many others are supported by little more than in vitro studies and marketing enthusiasm.
