I’ve just started to use GHK peptides and copper. free GHK and GHK copper peptides. Really really loving the anti-aging effects. Also started using superoxide dismutase in conjunction. After a week I already see noticeable results. Someone already told me that it looks like I’ve had fillers in the under eye area. Would love to see more products with either of those. What I would like not to see is dimethicone I understand it can be smoothing but it doesn’t really belong in skincare imo.

@TanyaCha Truth, (dimethi)cone ingredients are becoming a skincare dealbreaker for me, especially in face products.

[txcatx]

I started seeing faint lines around my eyes during the last couple of years, so I've been incorporating more anti-aging products, particularly retinol. 

Also, my skin loves vitamin C serums! 

[njattana]

I'm in my late twenties and increasingly looking for "beginner anti-aging" products so to speak but there tends to be either heavy products for "lifting" and "firming" - which I hope to avoid for now OR harsh retinol types and that cause more issues than prevents them. I would LOVE to see more all around antioxidant serums that aren't solely focused on one ingredient (usually just vit c) or simply thick creams to "plump" the skin. 

I've found a few face oils that are antioxidant loaded but rarely a decent serum I could wear daily and isn't super heavy. 

If it can double as an eye cream you can just take my money now.

[fieldsofclover]

@njattana Oooh can I sign on for this too? Right now my go-to daily serum is a certain very popular single-ingredient product, but I'm actively looking for something like you describe and want to support more responsive/responsible brands.

[njattana]

@fieldsofclover Right?! It seems like such an obvious thing but I've yet to find one. If you do let me know!

I currently use Sunday Riley Juno oil at night but, like I said, a serum for the day would be perfect

[fieldsofclover]

@njattana I've been eyeing the YTTP serum... it's OOS right now but I can't quite bring myself to jump anyway. Everything else remotely like that has a bunch of fillers I'm trying to steer clear of.

@PeaceOutSquad Welcome and thank you for the opportunity to provide our input!  

Here are the ingredients I am most interested in - Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!:

• Glycolic or Lactic Acid for exfoliation/resurfacing (I've have good luck with using either of these, so far)
• Caffeine for eye puffiness 
• Lemongrass for radiance
• Retinol for anti-aging
• Honey for soothing/moisturizing

[Beadshopgirl]

My skin is so dry, so I love anything with hyaluronic acid in it. 

[Tamara76]

I agree, @Beadshopgirl!  I also love anything with hyaluronic acid in it! ❤️

[greeneyedgirl107]

@PeaceOutSquad BHA is so important to keeping my skin looking it's best.  I use a 9% BHA right now and while it may be too concentrated for some, it works well for me.  But I'm greedy - I'd love to see a slightly higher concentration BHA product (with the correct pH, of course).

An affordable Vitamin C product in an airtight container would be heaven sent.

I'd also like to see effective retinol products that clearly list the concentration of retinol.

Thanks for asking for our input!  🙂

[DaintyDiva]

@PeaceOutSquad Yes, as everyone said, something that actually work for dark spots (left by acne, sun damage, melasma) would be great. Specially Azelaic Acid and Niancinamide.

I'm extremely interested in anything with Tranaxemic Acid, the only good brand using it right now is Cle de Peau and it's terribly expensive (Edit: I went looking for the ingredients lists of "brightening" products and found one Shiseido and a couple of Chanel Le Blanc products that also use the ingredient) , but reviews are great. Foreign studies show it is as efficient as hidroquinone for treating melasma, without the side effects. There is a trial in the US now to prove it's efficiency for spots left by acne. 

BTW, I love your patches. Please make one round/oval one for the cheeks. I realize I can use the pores patch, but the size/shape is not perfected for cheeks 😉

[abigailf]

I would love to have something like your acne patches but to put in for dark spots. There are a lot of skin brightening ingredients like licorice root, vitamin C, papaya enzymes, azelaic acid. But I’d love to pop them on at night and sleep my sun spots away. I’m 36 and I know that myself and most of my friends are now realizing the damage we did as teens sitting in tanning beds and the sun for hours. Help us reverse our damages!

[imlostagain]

This would be wonderful! I like my night routine to really work, would definitely buy this type of product. 

[Kim888]

 I totally agree - patches for sun spots or discoloration would be so amazing @abigailf !

[fatimamummy]

I have developed a strong allergic reaction to Vit C in the skincare products. Any other ingredient that gives same results as Vit C is all I’m in search of these days.

[Samtian]

Same here. 

[PeaceOutSquad]

@fatimamummy interesting!! We have a couple friends with the same allergy - we'll keep that in mind as we develop future products. 🙂

[Susubee]

Licorice root extract is my current go-to ingredient. I’ve noticed my skin looks so much more even and clear if I’ve been using moisturizers or toners with licorice. 

Also, aloe-based toners and moisturizers. And I’d love to find an untinted daily sunscreen without silicone that doesn’t have that weird sunscreen smell and feel. 

[PeaceOutSquad]

@Susubee ooo yes love those ingredients too - great recs! Our acne dots contain aloe to help soothe the redness of your blemish. 🙂 

Also if you love licorice root extract definitely try the GLAMGLOW Gravity Mud Firming Treatment - it's incredible and smells so good!
