Forget retinol. This serum doesn’t just resurface your face—it tells your skin to rebuild itself. That’s the whole pitch, and honestly? The science is weirder and cooler than the marketing lets on.
It targets the actual “mother cells” in your dermis. The ones that stop dividing as you age. If those wake up, everything else—fine lines, sagging, dullness—gets handled from the inside out. That’s a fundamentally different approach than peeling layers off the top.
It’s $198 for 30ml. Not cheap. But it’s cheaper than a single laser session, and the ingredient list reads like a biotech lab’s shopping list, not a skincare line.
Stem Cell Actives
Human fibroblast-conditioned media—basically the “soup” stem cells grow in. It’s packed with signaling peptides.
Signal Peptides
Copper tripeptide and palmitoyl oligopeptide—they tell your cells to produce collagen again.
Adaptogens
Ginseng and astragalus—they protect the stem cells you still have from oxidative stress.

The hero isn’t one ingredient—it’s the delivery system. They use a liposomal encapsulation that shuttles these peptides deep into the dermis, not just sitting on top like most serums. The texture is watery-thin, which is how you know it’s penetrating.
- Copper Tripeptide: Signals collagen production and calms inflammation simultaneously
- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Pushes new cells to the surface faster
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Reduces the inflammatory cytokines that break down collagen
- Ginseng Extract: Protects the stem cells from UV damage

It absorbs in about 15 seconds. Zero residue. You could put it under makeup immediately, which is rare for anything with this much active science.
Week two was the surprise—no irritation at all. In fact, my skin looked calmer. But the weird part? I had a tiny breakout on my chin and I swear it healed in 24 hours instead of 4 days. That’s the growth factors working.

Week 5: My forehead lines are softer—not gone, but they don’t catch the light anymore. The real change is texture. My pores look smaller because the skin around them is plumper. It didn’t fix my dark circles. Nothing will.

This is the first serum that feels like actual biology, not just moisturizer with fancy marketing. It’s a long game—give it 8 weeks—but it’s the most scientifically honest anti-aging product I’ve used.
