Key actives
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
Copper Tripeptide-1
Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines.
Oligopeptide-29
A short chain of amino acids used as a conditioning peptide. Oligopeptide numbers are registry entries, not strengths.
Oligopeptide-32
A short amino acid chain used as a conditioning peptide, usually one of several oligopeptides declared together.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water
Witch hazel distillate, used in place of part of the plain water in a formula. It is much more dilute than the extract, and commercial witch hazel water often carries alcohol.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract
Star Anise Fruit Extract carries aromatic plant compounds. It is used as a conditioning extract and contributes scent.
How to use
- Use it after cleansing, before toner, 2 to 3 times a week rather than daily. PM.

Witch hazel distillate, used in place of part of the plain water in a formula. It is much more dilute than the extract, and commercial witch hazel water often carries alcohol.
