Plant-based skin-firming serum that provides immediate & long-term effects / 1 oz

TWELVE Beauty Plant Perfection Gel Serum was designed as an alternative to retinol, addressing the loss of firmness and elasticity that many of us experience with age — particularly around the jaw, chin, and neck areas. (FYI, that’s called the “Y-zone,” recalling memories of teenage struggles with the “T-zone.” Nostalgia!)

As Plant Perfection’s creator, Dr. Pedro Catala, told us, “No one is spared from the loss of skin flexibility and firmness…and unfortunately, the use of mobile devices and less-than-optimal posture further aggravate the situation.”

We know: our posture needs work. But it’s true that no one is spared, which is one of the many reasons we love the inclusivity of this formula. Like all TWELVE’s products, it was created with sensitive skin in mind, and its plant-based ingredients are suitable for daytime or nighttime use on all skin types and conditions — even during pregnancy and nursing.

But don’t let that make you think Plant Perfection is a lightweight. The formula features Bidens Pilosa extract, which produces a retinol-like result — stimulating collagen, diminishing fine lines, and improving firmness — without related side effects. It’s supported by plant-based collagen amino acids, a tetrapeptide dubbed a “skin architect” for its ability to promote correctly structured collagen fibers, a micro-algae for both immediate and long-term firming effects, and skin-firming probiotics. (Pedro was serious with this one. Firmness for all! Results from day one! Yes, please.)

With a lightweight gel-lotion texture, Plant Perfection is a beautiful layer underneath your favorite moisturizer. Check out “how to use” to find out how to work it into your routine. And for more insider info on the formula, check out Dara's interview with Pedro on our blog.
