Most moisturizers hydrate the surface. A five-peptide complex with Coenzyme Q10, Argireline, and DMAE penetrates to the dermal layer — stimulating collagen production, supporting cellular energy, reducing inflammation, and improving firmness with every single application. Not just moisture. Structural support.

WHY IT MATTERS FOR MELANIN-RICH SKIN:
Melanin-rich skin ages differently — and the beauty industry has largely ignored that difference.
It often maintains youthful texture and surface appearance longer than lighter skin tones. But beneath that surface, it faces specific challenges that standard anti-aging moisturizers were never formulated to address. Uneven tone compounds with age. Lingering inflammation from breakouts, ingrown hairs, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation creates a chronic inflammatory environment that accelerates the visible signs of aging on melanin-rich skin specifically. Loss of firmness occurs differently in Fitzpatrick IV, V, and VI skin types — and the ingredients that address it need to work without triggering the sensitivity and irritation that retinol and high-dose acids can cause on melanin-rich skin.
Anti-inflammatory action from DMAE and the mineral complex actively reduces the chronic inflammation that drives both accelerated aging and pigmentation in melanin-rich skin. Collagen-stimulating peptides rebuild what time and daily UV exposure have broken down in the dermis. And the full formula does all of this without the retinol sensitivity risk — making it the anti-aging choice for melanin-rich skin that wants real structural results, daily, without compromise.
Overview
Standard moisturizers hydrate the skin’s surface. But aging happens in the dermis — where collagen breaks down, elastin fibers weaken, and fine lines become permanent. A moisturizer that only works at the surface is leaving most of the problem untreated.
Peptide Lift Moisturizer delivers a 5-peptide complex, Coenzyme Q10, Argireline, and DMAE in a lightweight formula that penetrates to the dermal layer — stimulating collagen, relaxing expression lines, reducing inflammation, and improving firm skin texture with every application.
After your Azelaic Soft Cleanser and Brilliance Serum have fully absorbed, apply the Peptide Lift Moisturizer to your face and neck.
Press into skin with upward strokes. Allow to absorb fully before applying the Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 as your final step.
The peptide complex builds results over time. Daily use is not optional. The collagen signal compounds with every application.
This is not a treatment you use when you remember. This is Step 03. Every morning.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline): Botox-like action — relaxes expression muscles to reduce fine line depth around the forehead and eyes.
Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10): Energizes aging skin cells, neutralizes free radicals, and supports cellular detoxification and regeneration.
Dimethyl MEA (DMAE): Reduces inflammation and improves skin firmness and tone — supports a lifted appearance with regular use.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Matrixyl 3000) Collagen-stimulating peptide duo that rebuilds the skin’s structural foundation and reduces visible wrinkles.
Glycolic Acid Mild AHA that gently resurfaces the skin’s surface to improve texture and tone alongside the peptide complex.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Draws moisture into the skin to maintain hydration and support the plumping effect of the peptide formula.
About the Formula
how it works
ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8 — ARGIRELINE: A peptide that works at the level of facial muscle contractions — relaxing the repeated movements responsible for forehead lines and expression-based fine lines over time. Results build with consistent daily use.
PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-1 + PALMITOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-7 MATRIXYL 3000: The collagen-stimulating peptide pair. These two peptides signal the dermis to produce new collagen — improving the skin’s structural foundation and reducing wrinkle depth over time.
Collagen production declines with age and with chronic UV exposure. Matrixyl 3000 signals the skin to rebuild what has been lost — from the inside out.
COENZYME Q10 (Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone): Aging skin cells produce less energy. Coenzyme Q10 supports cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level — helping aging skin cells function more efficiently.
It also provides antioxidant protection against the free radical damage that accelerates visible aging on melanin-rich skin.
DMAE (Dimethyl MEA): Anti-inflammatory and firming. DMAE visibly improves skin firmness and tone — supporting a more lifted appearance with consistent daily use. For melanin-rich skin where chronic inflammation is a driver of both aging signs and pigmentation — the anti-inflammatory action of DMAE is not just an anti-aging benefit. It is a pigmentation management benefit simultaneously.
MAGNESIUM ASPARTATE + ZINC GLUCONATE + COPPER GLUCONATE Mineral Complex: The same mineral trio in the OROYO Aqua Refresh HA Serum — here supporting the full peptide complex. Supports barrier recovery, reduces inflammation, and promotes cellular regeneration throughout the day.
SODIUM HYALURONATE + GLYCERIN: Hydration that holds. Both attract and retain moisture at the skin surface — ensuring the dermis- targeting peptide complex works in a well-hydrated environment that maximizes absorption and ingredient efficacy.
Rich but not heavy — a velvety cream that absorbs fully without leaving greasiness. Provides an immediate smoothing and tightening sensation that improves with consistent use.
Week 1–2: Skin feels immediately more hydrated and noticeably smoother after every application. The velvety absorption leaves no residue — just noticeably more comfortable, more supple skin.
Week 3–4: Fine lines begin to soften. Firmness visibly improves. The collagen-stimulating peptides are building structural results beneath the surface.
Long-term: Significantly firmer, more lifted skin. Reduced wrinkle depth. Improved tone and resilience. The kind of change that happens in the dermis and shows up on the surface.
