What it is

What’s inside

Every active, and what it is doing there.

The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.

  • ACTIVE

    Copper tripeptide-1 1.0%

    A copper-carrying peptide. The most-studied peptide in cosmetic use and the one the range is built around.

  • SUPPORTING

    Ceramides

    Barrier lipids used to seal an oil phase.

  • SUPPORTING

    Ximenia oil

    A light plant oil used to carry an oil-phase active.

  • SUPPORTING

    Ceramides

    Barrier lipids. Skin makes its own; these top up what cleansing and actives take out.

These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

I was sceptical about an oil over a serum but the lipid phase argument made sense and my skin in the morning is noticeably softer. Absorbs completely by the time I am in bed.

Winter saviour

My skin stopped feeling tight overnight within a week.

Paul D. Verified buyer
4.0

Lovely and genuinely effective on elasticity around my jaw

Docking a star because the dropper drips more than it should.

Rich, in a good way

Too rich for me in July, perfect from October.

Stefan B. Verified buyer

Pairs properly with the blue serum rather than duplicating it

I use the serum then this.

Three drops is plenty

No residue on the pillow, which was my main worry.

Questions

Frequently asked

Common questions about the night oil

What does the colour on the bottle mean?

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.

Why is copper limited to four products?

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.

Do you publish the percentages?

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.

How do I know what not to layer?

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.

Where do I start?

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.
