Ceramides and squalene are lipids that are naturally found in the skin's stratum corneum. They play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function by filling in the gaps between skin cells, creating a strong and protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and blocks out irritants, bacteria and toxins to help maintain healthy, supple skin. Unfortunately, the level of ceramides and squalene in the skin naturally decreases as we age, which can then lead to dryness, tightness, wrinkles, as just like a dam with a damaged gate, water cannot be locked in, which means no matter how much hydration you give the skin, it will still feel dry. Skin with a disrupted skin barrier is also more prone to sensitivity, redness, inflammations, and acne.
Similar to ceramides, CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is also a substance crucial in our skin health, as not only does it energize skin cells and clear out free radical, it also helps reduce inflammation. Studies suggest that when applied topically, CoQ10 can improve skin texture and smoothness, decrease signs of visible aging such as wrinkles and dull skin tone, protect against environmental damage, as well as alleviate irritations, inflammations, dry patches, and redness. However, our body also produces less CoQ10 with age.
Designed to be used as an ampoule after toners and water-based serums, and before face oils and moisturizers, Marie Reynolds London Ceramide Complex Supercharger is a beautiful blend of ceramides, squalane, CoQ10, hyaluronic acid and luxurious oils in a lightweight hydrogel texture. By infusing skin cells with these much needed substances, as well as fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, phytonutrients, and anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties, it quickly helps to repair and maintain the skin’s lipid barrier, soothe inflammations and irritations, and nourish skin cells, bringing the skin back to health.
Not only is it beneficial for sensitive, inflamed, eczema, rosacea, dry and dehydrated skin, its lightweight, easily-absorbed hydrogel texture is also exceptionally suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, and those that are reluctant in using face oils.

Retinol is the gold standard for anti-aging, particularly in regards to stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis to target wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and loss of elasticity and firmness. Unfortunately, it may be too strong for those with sensitive, rosacea and eczema skin, while some people may also choose to avoid this active ingredient during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
One of the few promising alternative ingredients is Bakuchiol, although being very different from retinol.
Bakuchiol, is a botanical derived from the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea Corylifolia (Babchi) plant with meroterpene phenol as a major component that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial benefits. It bears no structural resemblance with Retinoic Acid, and cannot fit into the Retinoic Acid receptor to trigger the same response in the skin. However, it is promising in stimulating the receptor nonetheless to boost production of collagen Type I, III and IV as well as elastin fibres. It also speeds up cell turnover. All these increases the skin's firmness and elasticity, smoothes out wrinkles and fine lines, evens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, while minimizing the appearance of pores and treating acne.
Marie Reynolds London Bakuchiol Complex Supercharger features 1% Bakuchiol, the maximum concentration recommended for use, in a base of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-aging, nourishing olive-derived squalane. Not only is it designed to help improve fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, and firmness for all skin types, including sensitive, eczema and rosacea skin, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in addition to being anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, it also helps downregulate 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that increases excess oil production in the skin, and inhibits the growth of P.acnes bacteria, thereby preventing acne.
The skin is thus restored and regenerated, and the lipid barrier strengthened.
Formulated specifically to:
Stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid
Smooth wrinkles and fine lines
Firm and increase elasticity
Prevent premature aging
Improve and prevent acne
Anti-inflammatory
Soothe skin
Repair the skin barrier
After toning with Hydr8™, apply 2-3 drops directly to skin as an ampoule day and night. Follow with Peptide Complex Supercharger, Skin Quencher, or Elixir™ and Reson8™.
1% Bakuchiol - a promising ingredient with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial benefits that aims to stimulate collagen production and thus smooth fine lines and wrinkles, as well as increase elasticity and firmness, whilst fighting inflammations, free radicals and acne. 1% is the maximum concentration recommended for use for this ingredient.
Squalane - nourishing and moisturising with powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-aging properties, also helps fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - helps restore the skin's protective barrier while replenishing moisture and preventing moisture loss, leaving skin soft and smooth. Also works as an antioxidant.

The body produces less collagen and of lower quality as we age, whilst UV-rays, environmental factors, free radicals, and many of our daily habits accelerate the breakdown of existing collagen. The skin, in particular, is made up of 75-80% collagen, but after the age of 25, collagen synthesis reduces at a rate of 1.5% a year. At the age of 45, collagen levels may have fallen by as much as 30%, and around the 60-year mark, we stop producing collagen totally.
Retinol is one of the few potent anti-aging ingredients that is widely recognized. It stimulates the production of type I, type III and type IV collagen, elastin and epidermal growth factor receptors, and thicken the dermis, thereby smoothing wrinkles, firming skin and tightening pores. What’s better, it also fights acne and fades hyperpigmentation!
A cult favorite, KLUR Stellar Restoration Corrective Complex is enriched with 1% Liposomal Retinol that is encapsulated, and time-released so that that active ingredient can penetrate deep into the skin in a highly stable, protected, gentle manner and is slowly released to cells over time.
The watery, fast-acting, multi-corrective formula is also infused with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Vitamin E, as well Salicylic Acid, MSM, and prized botanicals including but not limited to Gotu Kola, White Tea, Arnica and Dandelion to provide skin cells with a wide array of vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and phytonutrients to calm inflammation, correct imperfections, improve surface clarity and smooth the appearance of uneven skin texture.
Used overnight, each application nutrifies skin cells, providing the ideal environment for the rejuvenation and stabilization of reactionary skin, and thus, encouraging a more youthful radiant complexion.
