Generally, dipeptide-2 is considered a skin conditioning ingredient whose smaller size allows it to easily penetrate skin’s uppermost layers where it can assist with skin renewal and replenishment. For now, that’s the most compelling reason to consider skin care products that contain it. Recommended usage levels on this peptide by itself aren’t available; however, usage levels when this peptide is part of a blend range from 0.5–5%, depending on desired results.
