The Oligopeptide Complex
About·The oligopeptide complex
One complex.Three steps. No step four.
The ingredient this range is built around. What it is, why the serum arrives in two parts, and which products carry it. Not all of them, and that is the point.
What an oligopeptide actually is.
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the same building blocks your skin already uses to make its own proteins. An oligopeptide is a short one.
That is the whole definition. Everything else is format.Two bottles, one serum.
Things grow in water. Freeze-drying takes the water out of the active powder, so there is nothing to grow and nothing to preserve. You mix it with the activating solution only when you are ready, and the formula is freshly activated in your hands.
The formula was first developed as a professional treatment, and it was not changed when it came home. The format changed. The treatment did not.
What that means on your skin.
No sting, no peel
No acids. Your skin is not being stripped back to look better, so there is no bad week first and nothing to flake off at your desk.
No hiding indoors
Put it on tonight, go to work tomorrow. Nothing about this routine asks you to plan your life around it.
No moisturiser to buy
The serum already does that job. Three products instead of five, and no cream at the end.
Found in these.
The complex serums are built on it. Five more products carry the same family of oligopeptides, formulated for a sheet, a cleanser or an essence instead of a dropper.
What does not carry it: the rest of the mask range and the sun care. They are good at their own jobs, and we would rather tell you than let a label imply otherwise.
Questions people actually ask.
Why does it have to be mixed?
Because once the powder and the fluid are combined, the clock starts. Keeping them apart until you need them is what makes a preservative unnecessary.
Can I use it with acids or retinol from another brand?
You can, but you are adding the two things this routine deliberately leaves out. If you are going to layer, leave a night between, and tell a specialist what you are using so they can tell you whether it is worth it.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes. The complex is acid free, with no AHA, no BHA and no retinol, which is what usually rules a serum out during pregnancy. If you are under a doctor's care for your skin, show them the ingredient list first. That is true of anything you put on it.
Will it treat my skin condition?
No. This is skincare, not a medicine. If you have a diagnosed condition, that conversation belongs with a doctor, and our specialists will tell you the same thing. It also does not replace sunscreen.
Is the mask the same as the serum?
Not the same, and not weaker for it. The serum is the concentrated two-part form. Miracle Secret and Illuminating carry the same family of oligopeptides, formulated for a sheet instead of a dropper. The mask is the one you can do while you answer emails.
Nine concerns. One family.
