A concentrated floral peptide serum created to support skin experiencing visible loss of firmness, elasticity, and vitality. This sophisticated formula brings together two Alpine Rose technologies, targeted peptides, moisture-binding ingredients, and antioxidants for skin that looks smoother, fresher, and more resilient.
What Makes It Special
➜ Supports visible firmness with Progeline™, Argireline®, and Syn®-Coll
➜ Encourages a revitalized appearance with PhytoCellTec™ Alpine Rose and Alpine Rose Active
➜ Softens the look of fine lines while helping skin feel smoother and more supple
➜ Provides antioxidant support with resveratrol and superoxide dismutase
➜ Replenishes and comforts with hyaluronic acid, oat beta-glucans, and rose blossom hydrosol
Two Alpine Rose Technologies
PhytoCellTec™ Alpine Rose is inspired by a flower capable of thriving in severe mountain conditions. This botanical stem cell active helps support the appearance of skin vitality, barrier strength, and resilience during environmental stress.
Alpine Rose Active was developed around the science of cellular aging. Senescent cells are sometimes informally called “zombie cells” because they remain present while functioning less efficiently. This active supports the skin’s natural renewal processes and a fresher, more vital appearance without aggressive exfoliation.
Smooth, concentrated, and beautifully silky, with a naturally rich floral aroma from Bulgarian rose, jasmine grandiflorum, and frankincense CO2 extract. A little goes a long way.
“This serum feels smooth and lovely on the skin. It leaves my skin feeling plump and refreshed, and the soft floral scent makes it feel especially luxurious.” Jen, Garden of Wisdom Skin Care Consultant
How to Use
Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin and gently smooth over the face and neck. Use after cleansing and toning but before facial oils, creams, or other heavier products. Allow the serum to absorb before applying the next product.
Please note: This concentrated formula contains naturally aromatic botanical materials. Patch test before regular use, especially if your skin is sensitive or fragrance-reactive.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

I love this serum so much I had to write another review! This is my number one anti-aging go to every night because it’s packed with all of the top anti-aging ingredients! It’s the first thing I put on my face after washing. It has completely changed the texture of my skin! I have large pores so I am not fortunate enough to have skin like porcelain, but the clarity and softening of lines and wrinkles has been amazing! The scent…not heavy or perfumey, but simply real rose petals in a bottle, LOVE!!!
Kerrie Thank you so incredibly much for not only this beautiful review, but for coming back to write another one.
That is so cool and greatly appreciated.
We always love seeing you in the shop, and hearing how much Rose Stem Cell & Peptide Serum has become part of your nightly ritual just makes our hearts happy. Your description of the scent being like “real rose petals in a bottle” honestly could not have been more perfect.
And, thank you for sharing your experience so openly. So many people feel self-conscious about texture and pores, so hearing that you’ve noticed clarity, smoother texture, and softened lines will be incredibly encouraging for others too. We formulated this serum to feel nurturing, active, and beautifully supportive to the skin, so hearing feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do.
We adore you and appreciate your kindness and support!

The scent to rival all scent-sations!
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.
Gianna,
What a beautiful way to describe the Rose Stem Cell & Peptide Serum, “a scent to rival all scent-sations”! We’re thrilled you’re loving the Rose Stem Cell Serum, both for its feel and how it transports you.

Indulgent & Essential
The fragrance transports you to a field of blooming roses 🌹 The hydration is incredible! I have a sensitivity to low molecular weight HA. The HA in this serum does not trigger an allergic reaction.
Hi, Alyssa 😊
What a great description! It definitely smells of the natural beauty of roses. How interesting about the hyaluronic acid NOT causing a reaction. I would love to know why. I guess only the skin care goddess knows for sure. --->>> or Jen.
Here's to positive energy in your skin care journey and roses all around.

I love this stuff. It's got so many great moisturizing ingredients. I even love the herbal color :) I do a pump of this plus a pump of the decadent oat enriched emulsion plus 4-5 drops of squalane oil as my moisturizer twice a day and my skin feels calm and hydrated.

Wound Healing Oil
I have a scar that is a year old. After using a silicone scar cream for a whole year, it was still burning, itchy, raised and red. I started applying Wound Healing Oil twice a day. Within a few days, the itching and burning was under control. It's been 5 months now and the redness has subsided and the scar is starting to flatten. It's a slow process, but it's working.

Sweet & refreshing
I love misting this on my skin before applying lotion! It makes the lotion glide so smoothly and has such a pleasant smell.

Perfection in a jar
This stuff gives me the type of glow I thought could only be achieved at a day spa. It smells lovely and feels even better. It was slightly tingly the first 2-3 applications (not uncomfortable, just enough that you feel like it's really putting in work), and now it just feels immediately refreshing when applied. Great texture, too--sticky enough to stay put but not enough to feel immobilizing. I'm going to keep a jar of this in stock until they stop making it!

I use the Eyelash Peptide Serum on my lashes and brows. My lashes have grown in thicker and longer. I'm most impressed with the results on my brows! They are starting to regrow in spots that were bare for years.

I haven’t really noticed any changes but it hasn’t made my nails worse
Thank you for trying it and sharing your honest experience. We understand it’s disappointing when you haven’t noticed a change. In my own experience, it helped my nails, and my ridges became less noticeable too, though everyone’s results can be different. How long have you been using it? 💚 Markey
