In brief

Peptide is a general name for a short chain of amino acids joined together, the same basic units that make up the skin's own proteins. In cosmetic formulations it is grouped under the skin-conditioning function, added to help maintain the skin's surface feel. Many more specific named peptides used in cosmetics fall within this broader category.
