Fresh Start Hydrating Cleanser

Clean skin, not stripped. Fresh Start uses a gentle fatty acid base to lift dirt and oil while glycerin keeps skin hydrated the whole time, no tight, flaky aftermath.

Centella asiatica and witch hazel calm things down, so it works with your skin barrier instead of against it.

Description

A daily gel that clears grime. Glycerin keeps skin feeling soft while cleansing.

Warnings: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Contains sulphites.

What to expect

Right away: light hydration, no sting, no smell, nothing sitting on your skin. Over the first few weeks: smoother, more refreshed-looking skin, and fine lines start to look softer. Keep it up daily and you get what GHK-Cu is heavily researched for, the look of firmer, tighter, younger skin. That research is independent and published. We didn't run it ourselves, that's the point.

It's a serum, not a magic trick. Use it every day and give it a few weeks. If it doesn't work for you, you have 30 days for a full refund, even after you've opened it and used it.

How to use it

Cleanse with Fresh Start, then massage 2 to 4 drops of Glow into your face and neck and let it absorb. It's gentle enough to use under and around the eyes. Lock it in with Damage Control. Using it in the morning? Finish with SPF.

Two pairing notes. Don't layer Glow with Vitamin C in the same application, that combo can temporarily discolor skin. If you're using Radiance Surge, keep them at opposite ends of the day. Retinol is fine: Glow in the morning, retinol at night, or alternate nights.

What's inside

Every bottle of Glow is 50 mL (1.69 fl oz), a one-month supply used daily. Inside the formula: Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) at 0.2%, a peptide support complex, and sodium hyaluronate for hydration.

The bigger the plan, the more we throw in free. The 3-bottle plan adds a free Fresh Start cleanser and a free Damage Control moisturizer, so you're running the full routine. The 5-bottle plan adds those two plus a free Face Sculptor gua sha. Both ship free.

The MAXXING standard

Every ingredient is here because independent, published research says it does something, and it's dosed at the level that research actually used. The copper peptide for firmness and fine lines, the ceramides for the barrier, the glycerin for hydration, all of it. In one published comparison, a copper peptide cream raised procollagen in 70% of the people tested. We didn't run that study, that's the point.

No filler, no fragrance, no proprietary blend hiding a sprinkle of the good stuff. Rated Excellent 4.8/5 on Trustpilot, and the before-and-afters are from real buyers we never paid.
