When we combined the powerful anti-aging benefits of Matrixyl 3000 with the skin-smoothing and firming properties of Kigellia Extract, we knew we were onto something extraordinary. But we didn’t anticipate just how transformative this blend would be. By supercharging the formula with Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), known for its ability to boost skin elasticity and firmness, our Bio-Active Neck Firming Serum was born—a groundbreaking solution that defies gravity and time. This isn’t just another anti-aging product; it’s a revolutionary breakthrough for anyone looking to reclaim a youthful, lifted neck and décolletage.

Method of Application

1.    Start with clean skin - Remove makeup, SPF, or other residues.

2.    Apply product using upward strokes - Always move upward from the collarbone toward the jawline, never dragging the skin downward, to avoid contributing to sagging over time
(good old gravity)

3.    Use open palms or flat fingers - Gently press or sweep product upward with light pressure. Always avoid rubbing your skin harshly.

4.    Extend from neck to décolleté - Don’t stop at the jawline. Smooth the product over the entire chest area, especially where sun exposure is most frequent.

5.    Allow to absorb before layering - Give the skin a moment before applying other products like sunscreen or makeup.

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.
