Marionette lines

Hi Chelo! 1. For Marionette Lines & A Great Peptide Marionette lines are mostly structural (tissue descent and natural movement around the mouth), but targeted peptides help by plumping the dermal matrix and softening surface creasing around the fold. These are two products I have personally tried: 1) The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum (formerly 'Buffet'): A workhorse peptide cocktail. It includes Matrixyl 3000, Matrixyl Synthe'6, and Syn-Ake to support collagen density and skin bounce around dynamic expression areas. 2) Mary & May 6 Peptide Complex Serum: A very affordable, water-light K-beauty option packed with copper tripeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8 (which helps ease surface muscle tension like a mild topical relaxer), and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. It absorbs in seconds with zero stickiness. For topical line-smoothing: Make sure to seal your peptide serum with a lipid-rich moisturizer over the lower mouth area to keep the skin matrix supple and prevent dehydration lines from deepening the folds. 2. Toner Pads for Exfoliation (Non-Chemical): I have not tried them myself, but I have some in my wishlist. Since you want to avoid chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA/PHA), you want pads that rely on textured physical weave (gauze/embossed cotton) combined with enzyme or soothing botanical extracts rather than low-pH acids: 1) Neogen Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling (Green Tea): Famous for its dual-sided design. One side is a 100% cotton criss-cross gauze mesh that physically lifts flaky, dead stratum corneum cells mechanically, while the other side is soft and quilted to sweep away debris. 2) Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch: Made with double-sided organic cotton (one embossed side for gentle physical buffing, one flat side for wiping). It uses Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf) to calm redness without stripping or stinging sensitive skin. 3) Skinfood Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad: Ultra-thick, plush waffle-cotton pads. While primarily formulated for deep hydration and soothing, gently gliding the textured waffle surface over dry patches provides a very gentle physical buff without any irritating acids. Tip for physical pads: Let the pad glide with minimal pressure, let the weave do the work so you don't create friction irritation around the mouth area!

I would add, agreeing with @Mariacasino, they are structural. Get yourself a gua sha, if you don't have one already, and start training those muscles!
