Clinical skincare powered by patented delivery technology for maximum potency and proven results.

OUR SCIENCE

The % active ingredient on the label isn't what reaches your skin.

Clinical skincare loses active ingredient efficacy twice—once while sitting out on the shelf, once at the skin barrier. We built a technology for each.

Reimagining the delivery of tried and true anti-aging skincare ingredients.

Problem 01 — Degradation

Skincare ingredients start disappearing the moment they meet water.

See the data

Vitamin C, Retinol and CoQ10 oxidize and hydrolyze the moment they are bottled. In independent testing of 25 leading clinical products, actives were already 30% below label claims the day they were opened, and then went on to lose another 40% by week six — long before you've finished the bottle.1

Our answer

Patented Powder Dosing

Keep the active ingredient dry and precision-dosed. You activate it fresh, at full strength, the moment you use it.

How Activated Serums Work
A hand pressed against a dense field of light points, evoking molecules meeting the skin barrier
Problem 02 — Bioavailability

The skincare molecules that work best can't get through the barrier.

See the science

The stratum corneum is 10–20 microns thick and exists to keep things out. Dermatology's working rule: above roughly 500 Daltons, molecules don't cross intact skin in meaningful quantity. Peptides sit above that line. So does Hesperidin, at around 610.2

Our answer

Active Ion Delivery

A pharmaceutical carrier system, licensed out of drug development, that escorts large molecules past the skin barrier to skin's deeper levels where they can be most effective.
