Slapped “100% natural” on the front, then buried the peptide cocktail in the fine print like a receipt you don’t want your husband to see.
It’s not a lie — it’s a *marketing* truth. The plant oils are natural. The peptides? Lab-made. The bottle just doesn’t want you to dwell on that.
It’s a $98 face oil that promises “clinical-grade peptides with zero synthetic anything.” The irony is doing push-ups on my vanity.
The Packaging
Heavy glass, dropper works, feels expensive — until you read the ingredients and feel played.
The Fragrance
Smells like a fancy salad — cold-pressed seeds and a whisper of grass. No fake perfume.
The Texture
Oily. Obviously. But it sinks in faster than your last situationship ghosted you.

The first five ingredients are gorgeous plant oils. Then comes the “peptide complex” — which is 11 synthetic amino acids that do the heavy lifting. So the *actives* are synthetic, but the base is natural. That’s not “100% natural,” that’s a smoothie with a protein powder packet.
- Jojoba Oil: Closest to human sebum, so it sinks in fast
- Squalane: Lightweight moisture, zero grease
- Peptide Complex: The actual workhorse — synthetic, sorry
- Vitamin E: Keeps the oils from going rancid

One dropper = instant glow. It’s like your skin just had a glass of cold water and a nap. Absorbs in about 20 seconds — no slick residue on my pillowcase.
Week two: my forehead lines looked *less angry*. Not gone, not erased — but softer, like they’d been scolded gently. The “natural” claim still bugs me, but the results don’t.

Dehydration lines around my mouth — visibly plumper by week 3. The deep nasolabial folds? Still there. It’s a face oil, not a facelift.

It’s a good oil pretending to be a clean one. I’d repurchase — but with both eyes open.
