Targeted peptides and conditioning support for smoother, firmer-looking skin.
Our original Progeline™ Peptide Repair Serum pairs two targeted peptides with Hydrolyzed Elastin to help skin look smoother and firmer. Wild Yam Root Extract, oat beta-glucan, and antioxidants round out the formula with conditioning and comforting support.
Why You’ll Love It
A serum should feel lovely to use, too. This rich formula has a smooth, gliding feel that makes application a pleasure. It brings peptide support and skin-conditioning ingredients together for skin showing fine lines, a loss of firmness, or a less supple feel.
Key Benefits
➤ Helps skin look smoother and firmer
➤ Helps soften the appearance of fine lines
➤ Conditions skin for a softer, more supple feel
➤ Includes resveratrol and Superoxide Dismutase for antioxidant support
➤ Offers a rich, smooth glide during application
Why It Works
We brought these ingredients together because smoother-looking skin and comfortable-feeling skin belong in the same formula. The peptides focus on the appearance of firmness and fine lines. Hydrolyzed Elastin, Wild Yam Root Extract, and oat beta-glucan provide conditioning support, while resveratrol and Superoxide Dismutase contribute antioxidant activity.
Featured Ingredients
Progeline™ (Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2) A peptide selected to help improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity.
Syn-Coll (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) A complementary peptide selected to help skin look smoother and firmer.
Hydrolyzed Elastin A skin-conditioning protein that helps skin feel soft, smooth, and supple.
Wild Yam Root Extract A botanical extract we include for its skin-conditioning qualities.

Texture & Feel
A rich serum with a smooth, gliding feel that spreads easily over the skin.

A Quiet Note from the Garden

Here, we’ve paired targeted peptides with conditioning ingredients for a serum that feels lovely while supporting smoother-looking skin. Give it a consistent place in your routine, and remember that results vary from person to person.
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.

So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!

Awesome progeline peptide repair serum
I have this product daily for over a year and my skin has never looked to smooth. It has helped my fine lines so much that they are barely visible
A full year of daily use gives you a wonderful perspective on how a formula truly performs, Toni. (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)♡
Peptide serums are all about consistency, so we love hearing how much smoother your skin looks and how dramatically the appearance of your fine lines has softened. Thank you for staying with our Progeline™ Peptide Repair Serum and sharing your results!
This is exciting news!

VISIBLE EFFECTS IN AGING SKIN
This product has made the most difference to fine lines and wrinkles of any one product I use, especially in DEEP FROWN LINES IN LOWER FACE - and I use a lot of serums! It is definitely worth the price - the most I've ever spent on any skincare product. After trying the small-sized bottle, I purchased the 4 oz bottle at regular price and bought another bottle two weeks later during GOW's spring sale!
Lyn ... Thank you!
This means so much… truly ❤️
Hearing that it’s making a visible difference, especially in deeper lines, is something we never take lightly. And the fact that you came back for the larger size, and then again during the sale… that kind of trust means everything to us.
Thank you for sharing this so thoughtfully.
Markey, Jen, and our amazing team ͙֒

So far, good!! The serum goes on smoothly and soaks into my skin. This will be a nice addition to my skin care routine.

The BEST lil balm I’ve ever used. And I’ve been round a time or two. Absolutely decadent.
Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.
Markey 🤠
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
Hi D R
Thank you for your kind review.
I am always such a goober about oils, and I wanted to mention that oils don't offer hydration
just conditioning, etc., although they are excellent to add after a hydration step in your routine to hold the moisture to the skin.
Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey.
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
Hi DR,
Thank you for your feedback.
Squalane is so popular, so your experience will help others decide whether it is the right choice for their skin.

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.
