What’s inside

Every active, and what it is doing there.

The percentage is on the front of the bottle. This is what the percentage is of.

  • ACTIVE

    SPF 50, hybrid filters

    Mineral and organic filters together, for SPF 50 without the cast a mineral-only formula leaves.

  • ACTIVE

    SPF 50, hybrid filters

    Mineral and organic filters together, for SPF 50 without the cast a mineral-only formula leaves.

  • ACTIVE

    Iron oxides

    Pigments that also address visible light, which UV filters alone do not.

  • 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.

The difference

Why ANNEAL is different

Every line below is something you can check on the label or the page before you buy. None of it is a claim about how well the product works.

ANNEAL compared with a typical serum, across 6 things you can verify on the label.
What you can verify ANNEAL Typical serum
Active concentration printed on the page Yes Usually a range, or nothing at all
Every active named at its own strength Yes Often folded into one “complex”
Layering conflicts stated up front Yes Rarely mentioned before checkout
Price per millilitre you can work out Yes Volume often left off the label
Hero active capped, not line-extended Yes Extended into new SKUs each season
One formula per product, kept in stock Yes Seasonal colourways and limited runs

The visible-light protection matters for my melasma and almost nothing on the market covers it properly. Charging the same as the untinted one is decent of them.

Ten seconds with fingers and I look like I have slept

Texture is lovely, not at all heavy.

Marguerite E. Verified buyer
5.0

No orange, no grey, no ashiness

Sits well all day on combination skin.

This replaced both my sunscreen and my base

Sheer coverage, evens everything out, and no white cast in photos which is where tinted SPFs usually betray you.

Amelia W. Verified buyer
4.0

Shade works on me but the range is narrow — it is a one-shade-adjusts formula and it will not work for everyone. Worth saying.

Very good, but I do need a powder by the afternoon

Slight shine develops.

Questions

Frequently asked

Common questions about the tinted spf

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.
