Full INCI Ingredient List
Ingredients
Purified water base; serves as the primary solvent and delivery vehicle for all active and inactive ingredients.
Soothing botanical juice with anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Provides immediate comfort to sensitized skin.
Humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin, maintaining hydration and reinforcing the skin barrier.
Multi-functional active at 3% concentration. Reduces pore appearance, evens skin tone, strengthens the skin barrier, and regulates sebum production. Well-tolerated across skin types.
Low molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates deeper into the skin, binding up to 1,000x its weight in water for deep hydration and plumping.
Signaling peptide that stimulates collagen production and skin repair. Part of the Matrixyl 3000 complex. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti-inflammatory peptide that works synergistically with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 to reduce glycation damage and promote skin matrix integrity.
Bioactive copper peptide that signals skin repair, stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and promotes tissue remodeling.
Broad-spectrum preservative that prevents microbial growth, ensuring product safety and stability throughout shelf life.
Skin-conditioning agent with mild antimicrobial properties. Works synergistically with phenoxyethanol to boost preservation efficacy.
Naturally-derived preservative that inhibits yeast and mold growth, adding a secondary layer of product protection.
Used to adjust and stabilize the pH of the formulation, ensuring optimal efficacy of the active ingredients and product stability.
Used in small amounts to neutralize and buffer the formulation to the correct pH range for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy.
Application Protocol
How to Use
- Cleanse skin with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser. Pat dry.
- Dispense 3-4 drops of Daily Gentle Serum onto fingertips.
- Apply evenly across the face and neck using gentle pressing motions. Avoid the immediate eye area.
- Allow 1-2 minutes for full absorption.
- Follow with moisturizer and SPF (morning) or a nourishing night cream (evening).
- Use twice daily — morning and evening — for optimal results.
Post-Procedure Note
Microneedling?
This serum is designed for daily topical use on stable, non-disrupted skin — not for post-microneedling application. If you microneedle, use our Recovery Serum during the 48–72 hour recovery window, then transition back to the Daily Gentle Serum once your skin has calmed.
The Recovery Serum has a minimal formula (GHK-Cu 0.1% + Centella + Aloe) specifically built for compromised skin, without the additional actives (Niacinamide, Matrixyl) that may irritate freshly treated skin.
Care & Handling
Storage Instructions
- Store in a cool, dry place between 15-25 °C (59-77 °F).

- Refrigeration is acceptable and may extend potency of peptide actives.
- Keep bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent oxidation.
- Use within 6 months of opening.
