Level 1 is the entry point — a gentle, pre-dosed retinol that maintains your skin's collagen and elastin density and actively slows the aging curve. Ginger root, marula, and grapeseed oil carry the retinol deep into the skin's layers, while a light surface exfoliation refines pores and lifts luminosity. Vitamin E and ceramides reinforce the barrier so renewal never comes at the cost of comfort. Ideal for maintaining firmness and preventing early aging — and gentle enough for sensitive skin at any age.
Independent clinical evidence — this formulation system
Measured on Level 3 (5000 IUs). Essex Testing Clinic · 33 women, ages 46–69 · nightly use for 8 weeks · evaluated at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks · each participant compared with her own baseline.
- Fine lines & wrinkles (Visia CR 2.2 imaging): 8.9% improvement at 4 weeks, 13.4% at 8 weeks — 100% of participants improved
- Elasticity (Cutometer): +8.4% at 4 weeks, +16.1% at 8 weeks — 94% improved
- Firmness (Cutometer): 28.6% improvement at 4 weeks — 91% improved
- Radiance (imaging): improved at 4 and 8 weeks — 70% improved at 8 weeks
- Irritation: none observed in any participant at any visit; 97% reported no significant sensitivity compared with other retinols
All improvements above were statistically significant (p<0.001, except radiance at 4 weeks p=0.032). Signed final report on file.
Level 1 is the same formulation system at a different retinol concentration (1000 IUs), matched to your skin's tolerance and need. The measurements above were taken on Level 3 (5000 IUs); they are not a result for Level 1.
