poth complete set: repair serum, depuffing eye cream, nightly retinol, clear gel spf 50, 2 oz lipid gel moisturizer

the day + night set

a morning and evening routine in one set. a serum rich in antioxidants and a rich eye cream for tired morning eyes, an encapsulated retinol cream for the evening, and a lipid-rich gel cream moisturizer for both ends of the day. finish your mornings with our clear gel spf 50, or leave it out for the winter.

active ingredients:

serum - vitamin c (15%), vitamin e (1%), ferulic acid (0.5%)

eye cream - coffee bean extract, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, squalane

retinol - encapsulated retinol (0.7%), safflower seed oil, squalane

moisturizer - hyaluronic acid, squalane, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil

spf (with spf option) - uv filters: octocrylene 10%, homosalate 10%, octisalate 5%, avobenzone 3%

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].

eye cream: hyaluronic acid hydrates: in a 60-day placebo-controlled trial, hyaluronic acid cream improved hydration and elasticity of the skin around the eyes [Pavicic 2011]. coffee bean and green tea extracts contain caffeine, which constricts blood vessels and reduces fluid retention, the mechanism behind depuffing [Hamie 2024].

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].

spf: daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is the most effective graceful-aging product there is. in a 4.5-year randomized trial of 903 adults, daily sunscreen users showed 24% less skin aging than people who applied it only when they remembered [Hughes 2013]. sunscreen blocks uv; antioxidants handle what gets through. wear the serum underneath.

no fads, no misleading claims. see more research.

benefits

morning and evening routine
uv damage repair, softens fine lines
depuffing + hydration
spf 50 optional

do less. do it well.

getting the basics right every day is what leads to great long-term results, not fads.

our formulations and actives are classics for a reason.

vitamin c works cumulatively. results build with consistent daily use. retinol rewards patience: expect months, not weeks. temporary depuffing is generally quick to take effect, though individual results vary. hydration is felt right away.

spf: helps prevent sunburn. if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.

repair serum: 15% vitamin c (L-ascorbic acid) is one of the most well-studied active ingredients you can include in your routine, especially when paired with 1% vitamin e and 0.5% ferulic acid.

in controlled human trials, it has been shown to:

repair uv damage
add protection under spf
lighten dark spots
reduce wrinkles
support collagen production

eye cream: the hero ingredients of our eye cream are hyaluronic acid, plus coffee bean and green tea extracts.

what it does:

hydrates the under-eye area
reduces the look of puffiness
leaves skin silky smooth

nightly retinol: 0.7% encapsulated retinol (vitamin a) is stabilized and extended-release, held in a solid lipid capsule that protects it in the jar and releases it gradually on skin.

in controlled human trials, retinol has been shown to:

soften fine lines and wrinkles
fade mottled pigmentation and even tone
increase collagen markers in skin

daily moisturizer: hyaluronic acid is a classic for a reason; ours comes with an elevated look and feel.

in a controlled human trial, it has been shown to:

hydrate skin
improve elasticity

spf (with spf option): our clear gel spf 50 uses four uv filters to protect skin from sun damage, with vitamins c and e in the base.
