The science

Active Ingredients

Short, no-nonsense briefings on the actives we use — what each one is, what it does, and why it earned a place in the formula.

Penetration enhancer

Ethoxydiglycol

A high-purity solvent that helps the actives around it absorb more deeply, so the rest of the formula can work harder.

Antioxidant

A powerhouse antioxidant that defends the skin barrier against free radicals and keeps the formula stable.

Vitamin C derivative

A stable form of vitamin C that brightens tone and fades dark spots without the sting of pure ascorbic acid.

Soothing botanical

Calming aloe that hydrates and cools — taking the edge off the stronger actives in the formula.

Peptide

A peptide that helps relax the look of expression lines for smoother, more rested-looking skin.

Collagen

Micro-sized collagen small enough to absorb, helping plump fine lines and restore bounce.

Retinoid

A next-generation retinoid that binds directly to skin receptors — retinol-level results with far less irritation.

Peptides

Signal peptides that support the skin's natural renewal and repair for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
