Suddenly, this overlooked flower has taken over my beauty regimen—from sophisticated fragrances to skincare.

      If you haven't already figured it out, I have a deep fondness for peonies (specifically white peonies). The tail-end of spring and the onset of summer herald their arrival, and I like to think I'm among the first peony lovers at my local farmers market each year in search of my favorite flowers. However, one of the major drawbacks of my affection for peonies is that they only bloom for a few weeks before disappearing for another year, leaving me to showcase a ranunculus bouquet in their stead. Admittedly, as much as I adore their crepe paper-like petals in pastel and bicolor shades, they pale in comparison to my cherished peonies.

      Here’s the deal—while I will always adore the delicate and magnificent blooms of my favorite flower, I also value their beneficial qualities found in several of my preferred beauty products across both fragrance and skincare. In case you’re not as fascinated by the psychological impact of floral and fauna scents as I am, floral notes like peonies can evoke emotions ranging from happiness and sensuality to tranquility and nostalgia (the latter being particularly relevant for many of the peony-scented fragrances I love to wear). Additionally, peonies are used in skin and body care for their powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties.

      Curious about which peony-infused beauty products are always nearby? Continue reading to see my selection of the top trending and underrated peony beauty products available that offer peony benefits all year round. That's right... you won’t have to wait for spring’s peak bloom to enjoy them.

      Key Ingredients: Multi-Brightening Complex (Thiamidol and White Peony), Oligopeptides, Bionymph Peptide, Crystal Peptide, Portulaca extract

      Among the three products in Chantecaille's Blanc Peony line, the face serum has notably improved the hyperpigmentation and acne scars around my mouth, nose, and eyes. Its Multi-Brightening Complex (a blend of thiamidol and white peony) brightens the skin, while the illuminating peptides and oligopeptides leave my complexion smooth and even.

      Key Ingredients: Multi-Brightening Complex (Thiamidol and White Peony), Bionymph Peptide, Crystal Peptide, Bitter Ginger extract

      Though I appreciate the doe-eyed shape of my almond-shaped eyes, I need to take extra measures to keep them looking vibrant due to hereditary dark circles. Since incorporating this eye serum into my routine, my eyes look noticeably more awake after applying it post-face serum. It’s designed to tackle fine lines and wrinkles while also reducing the appearance of redness through a unique combination of bionymph and crystal peptides. Plus, I’m in love with its cooling tip applicator.
