Common questions
When will I start seeing results?
Hydration and glow show up first, within days. A more even tone follows over 2 to 4 weeks, and the peptides keep softening the look of fine lines from week 4 to week 8. Use it morning and evening, every day, so each week builds on the last.
Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Apply the serum first on clean skin, give it a minute to absorb, then layer the rest of your routine on top. At night, your retinol goes on after the serum. The serum already contains a stable, gentle form of vitamin C, so it can take the place of a separate vitamin C serum.
Does it sting? Is it okay for sensitive skin?
The formula is fragrance-free with no drying alcohol, and its vitamin C is a stable, gentle form chosen to brighten without the sting of pure vitamin C. If your skin reacts easily, do a small patch test on your inner arm first, as with any new skincare.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. In the morning, let it absorb, follow with your moisturizer and SPF, then your makeup. It gives the Color Changing Foundation a smooth, hydrated base to blend into.
Do I really need to use it twice a day?
For the best results, yes. Peptides build with consistent use, so morning and evening, every day, is what gets you there fastest.
Next step
Now lock it in.
The serum does the work underneath. The Color Changing Foundation is what keeps it invisible all day: it adapts to your exact tone as you blend, so the skin you just treated looks even without a mask of makeup over it.
Color Changing Foundation
- Protects
- Hydrates
- Evens
It goes on white and adapts to your tone as you blend.
The finish evens out your complexion and softens the look of fine lines, and glycerin keeps skin feeling hydrated through wear.

Step 01. Prep your skin
Start on clean, moisturized skin and give it a minute to sink in.
Step 02. Start small
Apply a small amount gently over your face. You can always add more.
Step 03. Blend it in
Use the Liquid Blender Brush, a sponge or your fingertips, working from the center of your face outward.
Step 04. Watch it adapt
Give it 30 to 60 seconds. It goes on white, then shifts to match your skin tone as you blend, so wait before you judge the shade.

Common questions
It looks grey or too light. What do I do?
Keep blending. It goes on white and shifts to your skin tone as you work it in, so give it 30 to 60 seconds before you judge the shade. Blend outward from the center of your face in thin layers so it settles evenly. It's made for fair to medium skin tones.
It's creasing. What am I doing wrong?
Start on moisturized skin and give it a minute to sink in. Use one pump for your whole face and blend in thin layers, adding more only where you need it. A light dust of translucent powder across your T-zone helps it stay put.
How much should I use?
One pump covers your whole face. Dot it on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then blend outward. For more coverage, add a second thin layer only where you want it.
Can I wear it over my SPF or moisturizer?
Yes. It goes on best over moisturized skin, so apply your moisturizer first and let it sink in for a minute. If you wear a separate sunscreen, that goes on before the foundation too.
How long does it last?
Up to 16 hours. It's made to stay put without fading or oxidizing, so the shade you see in the morning is the shade you have at night.
Before this
It starts one step earlier.
The foundation blends better on skin that has been prepped. The Reverse-time Peptide Serum hydrates and smooths first, which is what stops the color catching on dry patches and fine lines.
