How to take
Apply 1 pump to clean, dry skin in the evening before moisturiser—our highly potent formula means a little goes a long way. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF30+ the next morning and for one week after discontinuing use. Gently pat into skin—avoid rubbing. Allow 5-10 minutes to absorb before applying additional products. For sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times per week for the first two weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts.
Storage
Our advanced airless pump bottles preserve potency and prevent oxidation, keeping your serum fresh and effective until the last drop. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. No refrigeration needed—the airless technology maintains stability at room temperature.
How it Works
HPR binds directly to retinoid receptors without the conversion step that causes irritation. Bakuchiol adds plant-based retinoid activity at a gentler profile. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid support the barrier throughout. Retinoid results, without the retinoid cost.

What is Inside
The Full Formula
Binds directly to retinoid receptors without needing the skin to convert it. Delivers retinoid results without the irritation of traditional retinol.
Clinically shown to offer retinol-like benefits with better tolerance. Stimulates collagen production.
Addresses uneven tone and age spots. Anti-inflammatory properties supporting barrier recovery.
Essential lipids for the skin barrier. Prevent moisture loss. Support long-term skin resilience.
Supports cellular energy at the skin surface. Protects against oxidative stress.
Different molecular weights reach different depths of the skin. Smoother, plumper surface.
Additional environmental protection. Soothing properties for mature and reactive skin.
No oxidation from air exposure. Essential for retinoid stability.
What Protect Serum Does.
HPR delivers the cellular renewal of retinoid without the irritation. Bakuchiol supports collagen production gently.
Cellular renewal plus barrier support. Skin that feels stronger and looks more lifted over 12 weeks of consistent use.
Dullness is often surface cell buildup plus oxidative damage. The retinoid renews the surface. CoQ10 and green tea protect the cells underneath.
Traditional retinol needs the skin to convert it, which is where irritation comes from. HPR binds directly. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid support the barrier throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Retinol needs the skin to convert it into retinoic acid, and that conversion is where the irritation comes from. HPR binds directly to retinoid receptors without needing conversion. 81% of trial participants said it worked without irritation.
Yes. HPR and bakuchiol are significantly gentler than traditional retinol. Ceramides support the barrier throughout. If very sensitive, start with every other evening and build up.
Smoother texture by weeks 2 to 4. Firmness and radiance by weeks 4 to 8. Visible reduction in fine lines by week 12.
The serum alone works on the surface signs of ageing. For the cellular side — CoQ10 for mitochondrial energy, B-complex for skin metabolism, antioxidants for environmental defence — pair with the Protect Capsule. 77% said the combination outperformed previous pro-ageing products.
