Eye defence cream

A short signalling peptide better known as Argireline. Targeting the muscle contractions that carve expression lines, it relaxes their visible depth over weeks of use. Best on forehead lines and crow’s-feet, layered into serums or eye creams. A graceful introduction to peptide care for skin not yet ready for retinol.

One of the most studied repair peptides in skincare. The blue-tinted complex signals fibroblasts toward a younger pattern of behaviour: firmer feel, finer texture, calmer reactivity. Particularly elegant in night serums and post-treatment recovery — pairs well with hyaluronic acid, never with strong acids in the same step.

A stable, water-soluble vitamin C derivative converted on the skin into pure ascorbic acid. Studies show benefits for both brightening and breakout-prone skin — rare among C derivatives. Particularly suited to oily and combination types and to formulations that need a gentler pH than pure L-ascorbic acid allows.

The salt form of hyaluronic acid — more stable, more readily absorbed, and the version that actually appears on most skincare labels. A single molecule binds many times its weight in water, plumping the look of fine lines and giving skin its characteristic K-beauty cushion within minutes.
