ZUVIEThe full formula

A note from the founder

I got tired of skincare
that lies to you. So I
made one that doesn't.

No miracle claims. No hidden fragrance. Just the whole formula, told straight — and the reason I'm making you wait for it.

Every serum I picked up promised the same impossible thing: a new face, practically overnight. That's not how skin works, and I was tired of being sold a fantasy at a fortune.

So I stopped looking at the marketing and started looking at the formulas. What I found was uncomfortable: most of these bottles lead with one fashionable ingredient in big letters on the front — and never tell you how much of it is actually in there. The ingredients you think you're paying for can be present in trace amounts, and every word on the box is still technically true.

I didn't want to make another one of those. So I did the opposite. I decided the amounts first, and then I decided to publish them here. The full list is further down this page, not just the flattering ones.

That's ZUVIE. A PDRN peptide serum for people who've stopped believing the hype — and just want to be told what's in the bottle. If you've ever read an ingredient list and felt lied to, this was made for you.

This isn't about a new face.
It isn't a promise about your face at all —
it's the whole formula, published here,
every single ingredient with a number next to it.

Four things worth knowing

So we put them front and center instead.

01 The number

PDRN, peptides and niacinamide. Here are the declared amounts.

Our formula documentation lists PDRN, six peptides at 3% in total and niacinamide at 2%. Listed formulation amounts do not, by themselves, establish concentrations of pure active material.

Every number is on the page, so the call is yours. You can't compare what you're never shown.

02 — Nothing to hide

The full formula — published before you're asked for money.

Not a highlight reel of the four ingredients that sound expensive. Every ingredient is listed below with a number next to it, including the base and preservatives. Then hold it up against whatever's already on your shelf and decide for yourself whether it's worth $69.

These are documented formulation amounts, not independently verified pure-active concentrations. How to read the amounts.

We'd rather lose that argument honestly than win it quietly.

03 — What we left out

Fragrance-free. On purpose.

The perfume came out deliberately. It's there to make a product smell expensive, and it's one of the more common reasons skin objects to something. So we left it out.

04. A routine, not a countdown

What I can tell you now.

What I can show you is our documented formula and the reasons behind it, all here before you decide whether to reserve.

The honest part

What the formula tells you.

The ingredient list and documented formulation amounts tell you what is in the serum. They do not, by themselves, establish results from the finished formula.

A real reply to one of our emails, shared with her permission. It isn't a product review. The serum is new, so there are no reviews yet. Joanne hasn't tried it either, and we'd rather tell you that than let you assume otherwise.
