  • Algin, a marine biopolymer, gives the oil-free water-gel its lightweight, non-occlusive finish for daily hydration.

Niacinamide at 5% is documented in cosmetic dermatology literature for supporting the appearance of uneven tone via a melanosome-transfer modulation mechanism class, and for a sebum-balancing cosmetic mechanism class that reinforces the oil-free gel positioning. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract contributes flavonoid and terpene-lactone antioxidant activity. A topical Ginkgo biloba leaf preparation showed free-radical scavenging activity in a human-volunteer cosmeceutical evaluation1.

The Opuliss difference

SCIENCE, MADE VISIBLE

Opuliss begins where the research ends. Every active is named, every claim is traceable, and nothing is left to promise alone.

Morning to night

A RITUAL, CONSIDERED

Each formula stands on its own and belongs to the whole. Layered with intention, morning and night, the routine becomes unmistakably yours.

A twenty four hour rhythm

THE SKIN KEEPS TIME

Skin is not the same at midnight as it is at nine in the morning. Across a single day its temperature, its acidity and the moisture it loses to the air each move on a rhythm of their own. Morning and night are not two routines. They are one, kept in time.
