the collagen support set: repair serum + nightly retinol + lipid gel moisturizer
the two strongest actives in our lineup, plus the moisturizer that goes with both. a serum rich in antioxidants for the morning and a rich encapsulated retinol cream for the evening, both shown in human trials to support collagen production, with a lipid-rich gel cream moisturizer that isn't sticky or greasy.
active ingredients:
serum - vitamin c (15%), vitamin e (1%), ferulic acid (0.5%)
retinol - encapsulated retinol (0.7%), safflower seed oil, squalane
moisturizer - hyaluronic acid, squalane, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil
research:
serum: topical vitamin c improves sun-damaged skin, reduces wrinkles, and increases collagen production [Fitzpatrick 2002] [Humbert 2003] [Nusgens 2001]. these exact concentrations (15% vitamin c, 1% vitamin e, 0.5% ferulic acid) protected human skin against uv damage, adding to spf rather than replacing it [Murray 2008].
retinol: in a year-long, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial, 0.1% retinol reduced fine lines by 44% and mottled pigmentation by 84%, with improvement over placebo at every checkpoint [Randhawa 2015]. a 24-week randomized trial of 0.4% retinol improved fine wrinkles and increased collagen markers in skin biopsies [Kafi 2007]. those trials used 0.1% and 0.4%; ours is 0.7%, released slowly.
moisturizer: hyaluronic acid hydrates: in a 60-day placebo-controlled trial, hyaluronic acid cream improved skin hydration and elasticity, and low-molecular-weight versions also reduced wrinkle depth [Pavicic 2011]. squalane is the stable form of squalene, about 13% of the oil your skin already makes [Kim 2012]; with jojoba and apricot kernel oil it forms a light lipid layer that slows water loss, which is how moisturizers keep skin hydrated between applications [Lodén 2005].
