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,

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 recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!

Rita,
Thank you 😊❣️ for mentioning this!
A larger bottle or refill size is certainly worth looking into, especially for something you use often.
We appreciate the nudge and your thoughtfulness about reducing packaging. :-)
Warmly,
Markey 🌻🌻🌻

Shawna, this makes me smile! Two bottles in, and it's wonderful to hear you're seeing improvement in your skin’s texture.
I love that blue color, too. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!
Warmly,

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 ❤️
