Formulation standards

If we print a percentage, we can prove it.

Every concentration on this site is taken from a confirmed batch card. We do not use proprietary blends to conceal a trace dose, and we do not claim results a formula cannot deliver.

Peptides & growth factors

The signalling actives — they tell skin to firm, rebuild and hold still.

Argireline — Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Peptide complex

A hexapeptide that softens the micro-contractions responsible for expression lines. Paired with a film-forming mineral, the tightening is visible within 90 seconds and holds for hours.

Found in: Liquid Miracle Instant Facelift, Men's Instant Facelift, V-Lift Bee Venom Instant Eye Lift

Argireline — Acetyl Hexapeptide-3

The same Botox-mimicking mechanism in a cream base, so the line-softening effect layers under the cell-renewal actives rather than competing with them.

Found in: Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Palmitoyl Peptide Complex

5%

Gold-standard anti-ageing peptides at a genuine signalling dose. They prompt collagen production and firm the thin periorbital skin over continued use.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl)

5%

The single most-studied collagen-signalling peptide in cosmetic science, dosed at 5% rather than the trace level used to justify a claim.

Found in: DCX Eye Serum

Dipeptide-2 (Eyeliss)

4%

Works on lymphatic drainage rather than collagen — the mechanism behind under-eye bags that hydration alone never fixes.

Found in: DCX Eye Serum

EGF — sh-Oligopeptide-1

Growth factor

Epidermal growth factor supports the skin's own renewal signalling, which slows measurably with age. Used nightly it improves texture, barrier integrity and resilience.

Found in: Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Synthesised bee venom peptides (Apitoxin)

Bio-identical

Laboratory-synthesised rather than harvested — no bees are involved. The peptide sequence produces a mild micro-stimulation that lifts and firms the skin surface.

Found in: V-Lift Bee Venom Instant Eye Lift

Snail Secretion Filtrate

Helix Aspersa Muller glycoconjugates — a repair complex that carries its own hydration, barrier and radiance benefits alongside the peptides.

Found in: Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Circulation, de-puffing & instant tightening

Actives that work on fluid and light rather than collagen — the fast visible ones.

Encapsulated iCaffeine

3% (1.5% active caffeine) – 5%

A water-solubilised, encapsulated caffeine that stays dissolved rather than recrystallising on the skin. It supports micro-capillary circulation under the eye, which is where dark circles and morning puffiness originate.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream (3%), DCX Eye Serum (5%)

Inst'tight — Gleditsia Sinensis

3%

A honey locust-derived polysaccharide that forms a tightening film. Visible smoothing within minutes, without the flaking of older silicate-only tighteners.

Found in: DCX Eye Serum

Sodium Silicate

The mineral tightener behind the 90-second lift. It contracts as it dries to physically draw the skin surface taut.

Found in: Liquid Miracle Instant Facelift, Men's Instant Facelift, V-Lift Bee Venom Instant Eye Lift

Arnica Montana Extract

An anti-inflammatory botanical used for the appearance of bruising and fluid retention — relevant to the blue-toned, puffy under-eye rather than the pigmented one.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream

Mica Spheres

1%

Light-diffusing optical brighteners. Honest about what they do: an immediate visual improvement while the actives underneath do the slower work.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream

Antioxidants & brightening

Photoprotection and pigment work, at the concentrations the clinical papers used.

L-ascorbic acid

15% at pH 3.2

The only form of vitamin C with a full body of human clinical evidence. Stabilised with vitamin E and ferulic acid, which extends its life in formulation and multiplies its antioxidant effect.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Ferulic acid (natural)

0.5%

Stabilises the L-ascorbic acid, adds antioxidant activity of its own, and doubles the photoprotective capacity of the vitamin C and E pairing.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Vitamin E — dl-Alpha Tocopherol

1%

The lipid-phase half of the antioxidant network. Together with C and ferulic, up to eight times the photoprotection of untreated skin.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum, Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Acids & resurfacing

Free-acid values published, not inclusion rates dressed up as strength.

Glycolic acid

7.5% free acid (10.7% inclusion)

The AHA with the smallest molecular size and the deepest penetration. It dissolves the bonds holding dead cells at the surface and stimulates collagen synthesis underneath.

Found in: Liquid Platinum Fruit Acid Gel

Pyruvic acid

0.05%

A rarely used alpha-keto acid found in professional clinic peels. It contributes exfoliation plus antioxidant and sebum-regulating activity alongside the glycolic.

Found in: Liquid Platinum Fruit Acid Gel

Lactic acid

0.056%

The gentler secondary AHA. It exfoliates while acting as a humectant, which is why the gel resurfaces without the tight, stripped finish.

Found in: Liquid Platinum Fruit Acid Gel

Hydration & barrier

The comfort layer — what keeps high-strength actives tolerable.

Sodium Hyaluronate — high molecular weight

1% (Blanova 1.5–2.0 MDa)

At this molecular size HA stays at the surface, forms a breathable film and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Four ingredients in the bottle, nothing else.

Found in: Pure Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum

Dual-weight Sodium Hyaluronate

Low molecular weight for reservoir hydration deeper in the epidermis, high molecular weight for surface plumping and barrier protection.

Found in: DCX Eye Serum, DCX Eye Cream, Instant Facelift range

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

0.5%

A barrier-supporting humectant included specifically to reduce the tingle expected from a pH 3.2 vitamin C serum.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Hydrolyzed Collagen

1%

Low-weight collagen fragments that hold water at the surface, plumping the crepey texture around the eye.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream

Squalane

3%

A skin-identical lipid that penetrates rather than sitting on top — deep nourishment with no heaviness under makeup.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream, Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Jojoba esters & jojoba oil

5%

The closest botanical match to human sebum. It gives the silky, non-greasy finish that delicate under-eye skin needs.

Found in: DCX Eye Serum, Ultimate Cell Repair Cream

Apricot Kernel Oil

1%

Rich in oleic and linoleic acids — softens and nourishes the thinnest skin on the face.

Found in: DCX Eye Cream

Delivery & formulation

An active only counts if it reaches the layer it works in. These carriers are dosed to do that.

Transcutol CG — Ethoxydiglycol

10%

A pharmaceutical-grade penetration enhancer at a genuine delivery level, carrying L-ascorbic acid past the stratum corneum to where collagen is made.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Dimethyl Isosorbide (Arlasolve DMI)

5%

The second solvent carrier — it keeps 15% vitamin C fully dissolved at room temperature and boosts diffusion into the skin.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Propanediol (Zemea)

5%

A plant-derived humectant and solubiliser that improves how the actives spread and leaves a non-sticky finish.

Found in: Vitamin C-E-Ferulic Serum

Xanthan Gum gel base

Holds an acid gel exactly where it is placed — no drip, even acid-to-skin contact, usable on face and body.

Found in: Liquid Platinum Fruit Acid Gel

Phenoxyethanol + Ethylhexylglycerin (Euxyl 9010)

1%

A minimal, well-tolerated broad-spectrum preservative system. Paraben-free, and the only non-active in the HA serum.

Found in: Across the range
