- All three 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.
PigmentProtect, Tranexamic Acid
For the look of stubborn dark marks, the ones that hang around for months.
PigmentProtect, Alpha-Arbutin
Evens out the look of your tone, slowly and gently.
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.
Tranexamic Acid. Well-studied for stubborn dark spots and the look of persistent uneven tone. Works with your skin's natural cycle for a more even-looking appearance.
Alpha-Arbutin. A stable brightener that helps regulate the look of uneven pigment. Especially useful for skin dealing with sun-triggered dark spots.
CollagenGuard's Matrixyl 3000 and Vitamin C firm and brighten. PigmentProtect's Tranexamic Acid and Alpha-Arbutin fade the marks of years. HydraLift's Ceramide NP and Saccharide Isomerate flood back the hydration mature skin loses.
