The Growth Factor Effect

What happens when you replace fifteen products with a targeted capsule — and let the science do the work.

Most women don’t have a skincare problem. They have a routine problem.

The Growth Factor Effect is our answer: a four-step Daily Ritual with a fifth weekly step, built on growth factors and peptides, that retires up to sixteen products and takes four minutes, twice a day. It is also the heart of the Foundation Ritual™, our complete five step system.

What Growth Factors Do

Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that signal skin cells to support renewal. They are notoriously difficult to formulate with — they require careful sourcing and sophisticated delivery systems, which is why they remain rare outside professional settings. Our New Skin Growth Factor + Peptide Serum (Step 3) is built around a fermentation-derived growth factor complex.

What Peptides Do

Peptides are short amino-acid chains that carry signals to the skin. Matrixyl 3000®, used across the Daily Ritual, is among the most studied peptide complexes in professional skincare, with decades of published research behind it.

What Copper Peptides Do

Copper peptides — GHK-Cu — work at the dermal level, supporting the skin’s own matrix synthesis and remodeling while contributing antioxidant protection. They appear in Step 4, and nowhere else in the ritual.

The Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid System

Not all hyaluronic acid behaves the same way. Ours uses seven distinct molecular weights: the lighter fractions travel into the skin, the heavier ones hold moisture at the surface. Seven weights, seven depths, one continuous gradient of hydration.

The Daily Ritual — What It Replaces, and Why It Works

Step 1

The Perfect Canvas Treatment Pads

Replaces your toner, exfoliating pads, and prep step. Five acids calibrated by molecular size — glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and two gentle PHAs — resurface and brighten, while Antarcticine®, a rare marine bioferment, soothes and supports the skin as they work.

Step 2

The Awakening Eye Lift Peptide Cream

Replaces your eye cream, eye serum, and brightening treatment. A dedicated periorbital peptide complex, built for skin that is thinner and moves more than anywhere else on your face.

Step 3

New Skin Growth Factor + Peptide Serum

Replaces your peptide serum, hyaluronic acid serum, fermented essence, and barrier-support serum. Growth factors and Matrixyl 3000® work together — the growth factors signal renewal, the peptides carry the message forward.

Step 4

Timeless Superactive Moisture Milk

Replaces your day cream, night cream, firming cream, and antioxidant serum. Six clinically studied actives in a single jar — Matrixyl 3000®, ChroNOline™, SWT-7™, ceramides, stable Vitamin C, and growth factors — plus GHK-Cu copper peptides. Hydrating, firming, brightening, and rebuilding, all at once.

Step 5 — Your Weekly Reset

New Skin Veil Infusion Facial

Where the Daily Ritual works every day, Step 5 works once a week, at depth. Formulated with niacinamide to support the barrier and even visible tone, alongside a concentrated infusion of the same regenerative actives found throughout the ritual.

Together, the Foundation Ritual™ retires up to sixteen products — down to five, used with intention.
