What it is & what it does

Dipeptide-2 is an eye-care peptide commonly used in formulas targeting puffiness and under-eye fluid retention.
WHAT IT IS: Dipeptide-2 is a short, two-amino-acid peptide often included in cosmetic formulas for the eye area and the appearance of puffiness.

WHAT THE SCIENCE SUPPORTS: It is frequently used in multi-ingredient under-eye complexes. Supplier and experimental data discuss benefits linked to the look of fluid accumulation, but human evidence isolating Dipeptide-2 alone is limited. Under-eye swelling can have many causes and may not respond to a peptide cream.

IN A SKINCARE ROUTINE: Its role is a supportive eye-area active rather than a proven treatment for medical edema or permanent eye bags. Claims for one ingredient should not be presented as a proven result for every finished product.

Usage & cautions

Use only products formulated for the eye area and avoid direct eye contact; persistent or sudden swelling requires assessment.
Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
