Why these two
The lines and the thirst show up together.
- CollagenGuard
- For the lines.
- HydraLift
- For the thirst.
- How to use
- Both in the morning, one after the other.
A chrysalis is where the change happens.
What's in these
CollagenGuard, Matrixyl 3000
Two peptides for skin that looks firmer and smoother. On the label they're Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.
CollagenGuard, Vitamin C
A stable, oil-loving kind that helps skin look brighter.
HydraLift, Saccharide Isomerate
A plant sugar that grabs water and holds on, so your face still feels hydrated at 2 PM.
HydraLift, Ceramide NP
Something your skin already makes to keep water in. This one just tops it up.
Made for my own face first.
The chemistry, if you want it
Matrixyl 3000. A well-studied peptide backed by research on collagen support. Helps the look of firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate). A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that penetrates deeper than traditional Vitamin C. Brightens the look of skin and supports even-looking tone.
Ceramide NP. The exact lipid your skin's barrier is built from. Supports the barrier so moisture stays where it belongs.
Saccharide Isomerate. A plant-derived humectant that bonds to your skin's natural moisture-binding sites for long-lasting hydration.
Polyglutamic Acid. A next-generation humectant that pulls water deep into skin for a plumper, more hydrated feel.
CollagenGuard's Matrixyl 3000 and Vitamin C visibly firm the look of skin. HydraLift's Ceramide NP and Saccharide Isomerate flood it with moisture.
