- Simply put, any technology that employs the principles of biology is considered biotechnology, biotech for short.
- Mother Science is proud to be a biotech brand because biotechnology lets our scientists engineer natural ingredients into effective skincare sustainably, and at a more powerful concentration.
-
Here’s what you can expect from Mother Science’s Biotech skincare:
- Targeted and effective results: advanced approaches to hydrate, repair, or rejuvenate your skin.
- Reduced Irritation: ingredients that are bioengineered for purity mean you're less likely to experience adverse reactions.
- Sustainability: biotech skincare can also mean you are supporting more sustainable and ethical skincare practices.
- Most commonly-used skin-brightening ingredients are tyrosinase inhibitors and work by inhibiting the production of melanin (pigment) in your skin. Unfortunately these ingredients have been shown to have many side effects including irritation, and potential rebound pigmentation which can leave you with your dark spots worse than before. Malassezin is not a tyrosinase inhibitor and works on your skin through a new, safer mechanism to target hyperpigmentation without causing any rebound hyperpigmentation.
- In extensive lab testing and two clinical trials, Malassezin produced a significant reduction in the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and other types of discoloration.
- Malassezin is very effective at reducing the appearance of dark spots with visible results starting at 2 weeks – much faster than most brightening ingredients.
Is Molecular Hero Serum an effective replacement for vitamin C?
Yes, Malassezin, the active ingredient in Molecular Hero Serum, is a 10X more powerful antioxidant than vitamin C. Mother Science Molecular Hero Serum addresses many skin concerns including hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin barrier repair, and hydration. That means Molecular Hero Serum is a great replacement for vitamin C and other skincare products if you are looking to streamline your skincare routine.
How often should I use Molecular Hero Serum?
- For optimal results you should apply Molecular Hero Serum morning and evening in a thin layer all over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. Consistent twice-daily use is key to rapidly fading the appearance of existing dark spots, and preventing new dark spots from forming.
- With consistent use, a bottle should last you approximately 8 weeks.
Is Molecular Hero Serum an effective treatment for hormonal hyperpigmentation?
Yes, Malassezin, the active ingredient in Molecular Hero Serum, is very effective at reducing the appearance of dark spots. You should see results starting at 2 weeks of consistent use – much faster than most skin-brightening ingredients. Malassezin targets dark spots without causing any rebound hyperpigmentation.
Can I layer Molecular Hero Serum with other skincare products?
Molecular Hero Serum can replace a vitamin C, dark spot, or anti-aging serum. If you have another serum/treatment you love, you can layer Molecular Hero Serum with it – it pairs well with other products as it's lightweight and non-irritating. We recommend applying Molecular Hero Serum first, waiting for it to absorb, and then following with your other serum.
How quickly will I see a reduction in the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles?
With consistent use, Molecular Hero Serum’s active ingredients work quickly (you should see results in 2 weeks) to smooth your skin texture, brighten your complexion, and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Do I use Molecular Hero Serum on my entire face or just dark spots?
For the best results, we recommend using Molecular Hero Serum all over your face.
Will Molecular Hero Serum make my skin sensitive to the sun?
No, Molecular Hero Serum does not cause sun sensitivity and is safe to use morning and evening, even on sensitive skin.
Is Molecular Hero Serum safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We conducted irritation testing on 200 people, including 100 with self-reported sensitive skin, and had almost no incidences of irritation.
Will Retinol Synergist make my skin sensitive to the sun?
To avoid sun sensitivity, we recommend applying Retinol Synergist only at night, and always using sun protection during the day.
Is Retinol Synergist safe for sensitive skin?
As with any new product containing a skincare active, we recommend patch-testing. Begin by using Retinol Synergist 2-3 days a week initially and then increase as tolerated.
How do I use Retinol Synergist?
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night. Use 2-3 times per week and increase as tolerated. If pairing with Molecular Hero Serum, apply Molecular Hero Serum first, allow it to dry completely, then follow with Retinol Synergist. For added skin barrier benefits, we recommend using Mother Science Molecular Genesis Barrier Repair Moisturizer morning, and night as a final layer.
How fast will I see a reduction in fine lines and hyperpigmentation?
This next-generation serum pairs Malassezin and retinol together for the first time. The combination delivers Malassezin's wrinkle reducing benefits, and skin barrier support, with the gold standard skin-renewing ingredient, retinol. You can expect visibly firmer and more radiant skin beginning after four weeks of consistent use.
Can I layer Retinol Synergist with Molecular Hero Serum and other skincare products?
Yes, Retinol Synergist can be layered with Molecular Hero Serum at night. We suggest using Molecular Hero Serum first. After it fully absorbs, layer Retinol Synergist on top. For optimal skin-barrier-boosting hydration, use Molecular Genesis Barrier Repair Moisturizer as your final layer.
Will Retinol Synergist cause irritation from retinization?
Retinization is the irritation, peeling, redness, and purging that can occur when strong retinols weaken your skin barrier. Because Retinol Synergist is formulated with Malassezin, itworks synergistically with the retinol to calm and support your skin barrier so that even sensitive skin types report no irritation.
How will Molecular Genesis Barrier Repair Moisturizer repair my skin barrier?
A healthy skin barrier means long-term hydration, smooth and radiant skin, and protection against visible signs of aging.
