No. Facial Serum is a topical cosmetic. Protein, Roots, and Steady are dietary supplements. None require a prescription.
No supplement or topical cosmetic is FDA-approved, that is a category that applies to drugs only. Protein, Roots, and Steady are dietary supplements; their statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Facial Serum is regulated as a cosmetic.
Yes. The line is designed to work together. Protein, Roots, and Steady each target a specific side-effect pattern. Facial Serum is topical and does not interact with the supplements.
Yes. The Essentials Kit includes Facial Serum and Steady for $99 one time or $88.25/month with subscribe and save. The Complete System includes all four products for a $204 value, $173.40 one time or $153/month with subscribe and save.
No. Hollow cheeks come from subcutaneous fat-pad loss, which sits below the skin layer that any topical can reach. For volume restoration, the right call is a conversation with a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon about HA fillers, Sculptra, or fat grafting. Facial Serum is for the other half of GLP-1 facial change, the dermal thinning that makes skin look crepey and accentuates the hollows.
Cosmeceutical trials of these peptides measure changes at 8 to 12 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Skin texture and fine-line depth tend to shift first; deeper density changes take the full 12 weeks.
No, and you should be skeptical of any topical brand that claims there is. The peptide actives in the Facial Serum have evidence in general dermal-aging populations (Sederma trials, Li 2023). We extrapolate to the GLP-1 cohort because the underlying biology, collagen loss from metabolic and nutritional stress, is mechanistically the same.
Yes, but on alternating evenings rather than layered. Peptides and retinoids both act on collagen but through different pathways; layering can increase irritation without proportional benefit.
Facial Serum contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, and palmitoyl tripeptide-38, plus Centella, Kakadu Plum, Bearberry, and Licorice root.
As soon as you can. The best time is when you start your GLP-1, ideally month 1 or 2, before nausea and dermal change become harder to manage. If you are already on a GLP-1, start now, the sooner the better. The peptide actives in the Facial Serum measure their effect over an 8 to 12 week window, so earlier starts compound.
Yes. None of the actives are known to interact pharmacologically with GLP-1 receptor agonists. As with any supplement, discuss with your prescriber if you are pregnant, nursing, or under medical care.
Roots stays useful through the recovery window: most people’s hair follicles take six to twelve months to fully reset. Steady stays useful while nausea is part of the picture; Protein stays useful for as long as you are losing or maintaining weight.
No. None of the actives interfere with GLP-1 receptor signaling, satiety, or gastric emptying meaningfully. Steady supports nausea comfort without changing your GLP-1 schedule.

Each product page has a citations section linking to the relevant studies. The full Evidence page lists everything we cite, organized by product. The Biology page expands each mechanism into long-form.
Facial Serum is manufactured in Australia (the cosmetic-peptide formulation specialty market). Protein and Roots are manufactured in GMP-certified US facilities and are third-party tested. Steady is made by a dedicated gummy manufacturer to our written product specification.
The actives in each product are chosen against the strongest published evidence for the specific GLP-1 side effect, not against general-purpose ‘women’s wellness’ criteria.
