Proven performance - measured by objective skin metrics

An 80-participant independent clinical testing programme assessing the four finished-formula serums, conducted over an 8 & 12-week study — measured with validated instrumentation, clinical grading, and baseline-to-Day-56 comparison.

How We Test

Each serum was given to 20 people to use at home, under the supervision of a dermatologist. Skin was measured at the start and again at the end, and each person's final reading was compared against their own baseline — so every number is a change in the same skin, not a comparison between groups.

The measurements are taken by the following instruments:

  • Corneometer - hydration in the outer layer, by electrical capacitance
  • Tewameter - how much water is escaping through the skin barrier
  • Cutometer - how far skin stretches, and how quickly it returns
  • DermaLab ultrasound - the density of the dermis below the surface
  • Antera 3D, VISIA and C-Cube - imaging systems that map wrinkle volume, redness, pigmentation, pores and surface texture
  • Sebumeter - how much oil the skin is producing
