Topical serum, 1.1 oz (30 g)
Stella+
A night serum for hormonal skin aging.
What it is
A prescription compounded serum with GHK-Cu, estriol, niacinamide and tretinoin. It works three ways: estriol supports the skin's structure, GHK-Cu helps rebuild collagen and elastin, and tretinoin clears damaged cells.
What it's used for
Collagen and elastin, wrinkle depth, skin density, hydration, and even tone, for skin changes that come with shifting hormones.
How it's taken
Always at night. Wear SPF 30 or higher every morning.
What to expect
Dryness, flaking, redness and mild stinging are common in the first 2 to 6 weeks, and a temporary breakout (purging) can happen. Your skin is more sensitive to sun while you use it.
Who it's not for
- Anyone pregnant or nursing.
- Anyone with a history of estrogen-sensitive cancer, unless a specialist approves it.
- Don't layer it with other retinoids, AHAs or BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide.
- Let all of your healthcare providers know you use it.
