Empirical Buyer Synthesis

What Buyers Actually Report

[r/SkincareAddiction]: A pleasant, light peptide moisturiser, but the $68 price is hard to justify — signal-peptide evidence is modest, and users routinely report similar results from peptide serums costing a quarter as much. Its popularity is driven more by brand marketing than by outcomes.
