made to go together

Step 1: Cleanse

Explore Radical Refresh

Radical Refresh Cleans without drying out your skin and rinses clean, so the leave-on steps absorb properly.

Step 2: Boost

Protective Power

A leave-on serum built on the same base as your moisturiser, so they layer without pilling and absorb together. Adds antioxidant defense and sits under your SPF.

Step 3: Protect

Explore Daily Defense

Same base, same texture as the serum, so it sits cleanly on top instead of balling up. Formulated for long term UV protection.

the science

Vitamin C

We chose Vitamin C because we wanted real antioxidant power. This potent form neutralizes free radicals from pollution, blue light, and urban stress before they can damage your skin—creating that healthy, protected radiance that comes from genuine cellular health.

Gold

The stabilizing element that elevates the entire formula. We included gold not for luxury appeal, but because it enhances the stability and bioavailability of our golden trio—Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic Acid—ensuring they work synergistically at peak effectiveness.

Ferulic Acid

We added ferulic acid it works hand-in-hand with Vitamin C. This plant-derived antioxidant doesn't just provide its own protection—it stabilizes and amplifies vitamin C's effectiveness throughout your entire day, ensuring you get consistent results.

"Same ingredients as the €150 serums (Vitamin C, E and Ferulic Acid). Fraction of the price. My skin looks brighter and I don't feel guilty buying it."

frequently asked questions

How long does it take to see protective effects from Protective Power?

The antioxidant protection begins working immediately upon application. For visible improvements in skin radiance and protection against environmental damage, you should notice a healthier glow within 2-3 weeks of daily morning use.

Can I use Protective Power with other treatments?

Yes, Protective Power works well with other skincare. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizer and SPF. Avoid using with other vitamin C products in the same routine to prevent potential irritation from over-concentration.

What makes Protective Power's formula unique?

Protective Power features our golden trio—Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, and Gold—working synergistically for enhanced stability and effectiveness. Gold isn't just luxury; it's a functional ingredient that enhances the bioavailability and stability of the entire antioxidant complex throughout your day.

Will this brighten my skin?

Yes. Vitamin C is proven to brighten skin tone and reduce dullness over time. You should notice a healthier glow within 2-3 weeks.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Also free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, microplastics, and essential oils.

Does Protective Power contain as much Vitamin C as other serums?

No—and that's intentional. Most serums use high concentrations because Vitamin C degrades quickly. Ours is stabilized by gold particles, so it stays potent longer and absorbs deeper. Less waste, more results.

Why does this serum have a particular smell?

Our Vitamin C serum contains L-ascorbic acid and ferulic acid — two highly effective antioxidants that naturally have a subtle scent. We've added a light fragrance to soften this, but some people are more sensitive to these notes than others. The scent fades quickly after application and isn't a sign of anything wrong with the product — it's simply the nature of these active ingredients at work.
