Description
A fluid daily serum centred on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, ceramide 3 and a signal peptide, with 24 karat gold held in suspension. It settles quickly without tack, leaves skin smoother and comfortably hydrated, and lends a soft satin finish that sits well beneath SPF and makeup, morning or evening.

After use
Skin feels cushioned and well hydrated, with a smooth, satin finish.

Skin profiles
Dry, mature, and dehydration prone skin; complexions showing dullness, fine lines, or a loss of firmness.

Place in the routine
Applied after cleansing and before moisturiser, morning and evening.
Ingredients & Rationale
Core components: Hyaluronic acid and glycerin replenish moisture and leave the skin supple and comfortably conditioned, while Acetyl hexapeptide 8 helps soften the appearance of expression lines. Ceramide 3 supports the skin barrier and moisture retention, complemented by Centella asiatica, Spirulina maxima, allantoin and vitamins C and E for soothing, conditioning and antioxidant care. Suspended 24 karat gold lends the complexion a subtle, refined lustre and a distinctive mineral finish.

Directions

Application
After cleansing, warm 2–3 drops between the fingers, then press over face, neck and upper chest.

Use after toner or mist. Follow with moisturiser, oil, or SPF.

Scent profile
No added fragrance. A restrained scent from the raw materials.

On Application and Care
Can I use this serum alongside actives such as retinol or niacinamide?

Yes. Apply after cleansing and before richer serums or moisturiser. If using retinoids, begin gradually and adjust if skin becomes reactive.
Is the 24-karat gold aesthetic, or functional?

Both, in a restrained sense. Historically, gold appears in Roman accounts of adornment. In contemporary formulas, it is used chiefly for the finish it lends; broader benefits are not firmly established.
Will this work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Alcohol-free and designed for daily tolerance. Introduce gradually and patch test. If you use prescription acne treatments, reduce frequency if skin becomes reactive.
Did the Roman elite actually use gold in skincare?

In some accounts, yes—but largely as adornment. Today, gold in cosmetics is used chiefly for finish; broader benefits are not firmly established.
