We’re constantly taking in your feedback. We want to make some of the best products to have ever graced your skin, and we think the best way to do that is to listen. Listen to what you love, what you need, and what you’d like to be tweaked. Ctrl Z has given us the perfect opportunity to listen to you, and so an upgraded formula will be released in a few weeks! Ctrl Z, as it stands, contains glycolic acid. It’s the most potent (and irritating) AHA, and lots of skins simply don’t benefit from its intensity. So, we set out on a mission to find a substitute for the glycolic acid. It had to be just as effective, but without the potential to irritate. Enter: yeast oligopeptide. Shown to be 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 effective than glycolic acid with 𝙯𝙚𝙧𝙤 chance of irritation. How does it do it? This yeast oligopeptide is a non-acid exfoliant. Direct acids, like glycolic, break down the “glue” between cells indiscriminately—they don’t care if those skin cells are ready to go or not—they’re leaving the party. Yeast oligopeptide works by boosting skin’s natural exfoliation system to help it work more efficiently and effectively, and the results are very impressive. With the reduced irritation potential, our testing has shown Ctrl Z can be used more frequently for most—up to every other night. This means more potent results, faster. We’ve also taken this opportunity to tweak texture. Now a more lightweight, true emulsion that sinks in easily with a silkier finish. We couldn’t be more excited to share this exciting formula with you! On that note, if you love the glycolic formula, current stock on the site is the last we have—so snag it while you can! Cheers to always improving, and bringing you the best products we possibly can. Are you as excited as we are?

A little piece on clean vs. chemical in cosmetics. Do you have to pick a side? Nature gives us some amazing tools to work with and we should be appreciative of those things. But, just because we love extracts and plant oils, it doesn’t mean synthetic “chemicals” are on a mission to poison us slowly through our skin. Here’s the deal. They’re ALL chemicals. Everything. If your skincare doesn’t contain chemicals, then it does not exist. It’s not even tangible matter. So how do we know what is “clean” and “dirty” in skincare? Simple. There’s no such thing. That said, we are all different. We have different preferences and needs and thats the beauty of it, right? We can each choose the blend of chemicals that will benefit our skin most. Synthetic things made in a lab can come with many benefits, too: stable and repeatable, you can be confident in the effect they’ll have on skin. They can support functionality and shelf life of plant materials. Also, lab-made nature-identical things can help us avoid over-harvesting and messing with fragile ecosystems. Love plant-derived ingredients? Amazing. Prefer well-studied synthetics? Cool. We happen to think they’re better together. What about you?

This is one of my favorite all purpose cleansers. I love the texture of it and how well it does its job. There are other cleansers that I use and enjoy for their fragrance, but this beats them all in terms of texture and efficacy. I love using this at night.

Wow, was instantly intrigued by the ingredient list (actives right where you want to see them and plenty of calming/ hydrating extracts) and it has not disappointed! Could tell my skin was suffering due to stress and prolonged stints inside so was looking for a potent hit of antioxidants (hello, vit c!) to revive it. Have been using this every morning instead of my usual hydrating serum and it has definitely helped to refine my complexion and bring back its luminescence, excited to see what more good things are to come! I think this is a fantastic form of vitamin c and works wonders in this thoughtfully formulated serum. 🙂 (FYI it smells kind of smokey which i am in love with)
