Your skin’s barrier (ceramides) and collagen (peptides) decline with age, DRMTLGY is just saying “replace what you’re missing.” If you’re on Tretinoin or actives like me, the ceramides + peptides aren’t the stars—they’re the supporting cast. But they’re protecting your barrier from breaking down. Budget reality check: Yeah, you can get peptides and ceramides cheaper with CeraVe or Neutrogena. I’m not denying that. The DRMTLGY difference is the concentration + the specific peptide blends they’re using. Whether that’s worth $69 per serum is honestly up to you.
