with matrixyl-class peptide, niacinamide
Five flood bands, F-100 to F-500, by how dilute the formula is.
The Copper System only — four SKUs, face only.
What’s inside
The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.
ACTIVE
Copper tripeptide-1 0.5%
A copper-carrying peptide. The most-studied peptide in cosmetic use and the one the range is built around.
SUPPORTING
Signal peptide
A palmitoyl peptide used to support the look of firmness. The "matrixyl class" is the family, not a brand name we are borrowing.
SUPPORTING
Vitamin B3
Used for the look of pores, tone and barrier comfort. One of the few actives that plays well with almost everything.
These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

Four months in and the crepey texture under my jaw is visibly better. I wish I had started earlier.
Also using it on my chest, which is where my sun damage actually lives. Working there too.
Works. My only gripe is that I go through it faster than a face cream because the area is bigger, so factor that into the cost.
Same copper as the face products and it is not a watered down afterthought, which is what most neck creams are. Thick but it sinks in.
I cannot honestly say I see more from it than from just taking my face products further down, which is what I did before.
Firmer, and no reaction on skin that reacts to almost everything.

Questions
Common questions about the neck cream
It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.
Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.
On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.
It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.
The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.
