Why this serum and not another one.
Most firming products are built for aging skin. On a GLP-1, your skin is not aging faster. It is losing its support structure faster than it can rebuild. That difference is the whole reason this serum exists.

Take the 2-minute quizWhy I started APLOMB.
“I spent the last ten years as a clinical researcher, a healthcare executive, and a healthcare investor, watching women’s health get overlooked and underinvested in. When GLP-1 telehealth prescriptions exploded, women were being exploited more than ever. I was shocked by how much effort went into profiting off women, and how little went into helping them. That is why I started APLOMB.”

Questions, answered
When will I see a difference?
Peptide serums work gradually with daily use. The bottle is built as a roughly 60-day routine, morning and night, so give it consistent weeks rather than days.
Can I use it with my other skincare?
Yes. Layer it under SPF in the morning and under your moisturizer at night. It is free of parabens and sulfates, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Facial Serum is a topical cosmetic you can use alongside your GLP-1 and the rest of your skincare.
