The evidence behind the elegance.

A meroterpene that binds the same retinoid-responsive genes as retinol without the receptor irritation. At 50,000 ppm it delivers measurable renewal on skin that cannot tolerate a retinoid.

Bakuglow by ALS · 12 controlled studies

Salmon-derived polynucleotide fragments that activate the A2A receptor on fibroblasts, accelerating repair signalling and collagen output. The reason CRS behaves like a clinic protocol.

CRS · 9 clinical studies

A plasmin inhibitor that interrupts the keratinocyte–melanocyte signalling loop behind melasma and post-inflammatory pigment. Used at 4% in Charge and up to 5% in Coral.

Charge · Coral · 9 randomised trials

Vitamin B3. Blocks melanosome transfer, regulates sebum, and raises ceramide synthesis in the corneal layer — a tone, pore and barrier active in one molecule.

Charge 10% · 20+ studies

A humectant below 10% and a keratolytic at 30%. In TGP it dissolves the keratin bonds responsible for rough, keratotic body skin while holding water in the tissue.

TGP 30% · 14 dermatological trials

A melanogenesis-supporting peptide applied at the follicle. Re:Hue uses it with Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 to work upstream of gray hair rather than colouring the fibre.

Re:Hue · 4 in-vivo studies

A melanocortin receptor agonist that supports pigment cell activity and antioxidant defence within the hair bulb.

Re:Hue · 3 in-vitro studies

A matrikine that mimics a collagen fragment, signalling the fibroblast to rebuild the dermal matrix. Paired with Tetrapeptide-7 in Bakuglow.

Bakuglow · 8 studies

The lipids that hold the corneal layer together. We formulate three classes because a single ceramide cannot reconstruct a full lamellar structure.

CRS · Charge · Re:Hue

Micro-spicules that create transient channels in the corneal layer, driving Coral's brightening actives deeper without an acid or a physical scrub.

Coral · 5 studies

The body's master antioxidant tripeptide. Shifts melanin synthesis toward the lighter pheomelanin pathway while protecting cells from oxidative load.

CRS · 7 clinical studies

A lipophilic beta-hydroxy acid that enters the sebum-filled follicle and dissolves the plug — the reason it works on congestion and keratosis pilaris alike.

Charge · TGP · 18 trials

An acetylated hyaluronic acid with far greater substantivity than the standard molecule: it stays on skin through the day rather than evaporating with its water.

Charge · 6 studies

A zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid that both regulates sebaceous output and delivers an NMF component. Sebum control without dehydration.

Charge · 6 studies

Triterpene fraction with documented anti-inflammatory and collagen-supporting activity. Present across the facial lines to keep active protocols tolerable.

Charge · Bakuglow · CRS

A fully saturated biomimetic lipid identical in behaviour to the skin's own squalene, without the oxidation. Comfort without occlusive weight.
