Frequently asked questions
Our products are formulated to suit all skin types, including sensitive skin. Each product is designed to deliver optimal results while respecting your skin's natural balance.
Our approach combines dermatology and aesthetic medicine to offer treatments that are simple, effective and based on rigorous scientific data.
Our products contain powerful and scientifically proven ingredients, such as a phytohormone complex to boost cellular metabolism, a 4th generation retinol (HPR: Hydroxypinacolone retinoate), a more effective and less irritating form of retinol, making it the best choice, especially for sensitive skin.
And finally, shikonin (naphthoquinone) is a very powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation active ingredient to protect all skin types, even acne-prone skin.
Phytohormones are natural active ingredients of plant origin that mimic the action of estrogens and progestins to stimulate cellular metabolism. Our phytohormone complex is derived from black cohosh (rich in glycolized triterpenes) and red clover (rich in isoflavones) for phytoestrogens, as well as yarrow (rich in apigenin) for phytoprogestins. The goal is to make the body "believe" that it has the same level of hormones as when it was younger, in order to restart the production of proteins essential to skin health. These active ingredients do not intervene at the level of the thyroid or the reproductive system and act exclusively topically.
No, our products are not tested on animals in accordance with European regulations and comply with the strictest ethical standards. Our products are almost all vegan, except the cleansing gel which contains lactic acid.
We do not recommend a specific routine. Also, surprising as it may seem, our goal is to offer you quality products, without any frills.
Our products are “all-in-one” solutions, bringing together all the essential active ingredients your skin needs, all in one jar. This helps simplify your routine and avoid the accumulation of products in your bathroom. (and mental load)
For example: Night Cream combines all the benefits of a classic evening routine in a single application. It contains:
- A biostimulant to support cell renewal,
- Antioxidants to protect the skin from external aggressions,
- Lipid-replenishing agents to deeply nourish and hydrate,
- Retinol to smooth fine lines and repair collagen.
All these active ingredients are highly dosed to offer you their full potential and visible results.
Products that promise an effect
Immediate "WOW" are often misleading, filled with silicones for a
illusory result. As with a diet, the skin needs time to
regenerate. The first real results appear in 6 to 12 weeks, with
a gradual improvement in texture, hydration and radiance.
Yes, our formulations are compatible with other products, but we recommend that you do not exceed the dose of certain irritating active ingredients (glycolic acid, retinol, exfoliant).
No, unfortunately our products are not suitable for pregnant women for two main reasons:
- Retinol, present in all our creams, is not recommended during pregnancy.
- Our phytohormone complex, designed to compensate for the hormonal deficit, is of no use during this period when your body is already producing a significant amount of hormones to prepare for the arrival of your baby.
After delivery, you can resume using them without any problems. To ensure your safety, we recommend that you consult the list of ingredients or contact us directly for any questions.

If you are currently undergoing cancer treatment, the answer is no: you cannot use our products, because your skin is particularly fragile at this stage. On the other hand, if you are in remission, the use of our treatments is possible, but only after formal agreement from your treating physician. Our products containing phytohormones act mainly on estrogen receptors of the Beta type (ER-β) . It is important to understand the role of estrogen receptors: they are intracellular proteins that regulate the transcription of specific genes in response to the presence of estrogen, in particular estradiol (E2) .
The two main receptors are:
- ER-α: mainly associated with cell proliferation.
- ER-β: recognized for its antiproliferative and protective properties. (This is where our phytohormones act to stimulate collagen production)
However, we recommend consulting your doctor before introducing new treatments.
