About FACE VALUE
It says what it does.
Five actives in glass, each named for what is in it and dosed at the strength on the label. That is the whole idea.
The stance
State the active and stop talking.
No before and after faces, no promised outcomes, no twelve-step routines. Skin is yours; claims about it should be careful.
The five
An exfoliating acid, a retinal, a vitamin C, a ceramide and a barrier oil. The counter, covered.
Four drops
The dropper is the dose. Pressed in with clean hands, and the glass goes back on the shelf.
The glass
Coloured glass protects the active. Hold one up to the window and it glows. That is as theatrical as we get.
The five, on indigo
Pressed in
Somebody's shelf
Taken at face value.
No promises on the label is exactly why I trust the label.
