You're in
good company.

Thousands of people in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond are quietly making Novea part of their morning. These are a few of them.

★★★★★

"My skin finally looks like me again."

I had given up on serums after spending hundreds on hyped-up bottles. Novea is the first thing that genuinely changed my skin — three weeks in, my husband noticed before I did.

"Easiest part of my day."

Three drops, twice a day. That's it. I used to think skincare was something women did. Now my forehead lines are softer and friends keep asking what changed.

"I stopped hiding from photos."

For years I assumed this was just what 50 looked like. Novea proved me wrong. My skin is plumper, my jawline feels firmer, and I actually let people take pictures of me again.

"My breakouts calmed within weeks."

I tried retinol and it wrecked my barrier. Novea did the opposite — calmed everything down, evened out my tone, and didn't leave me peeling. Wish I'd started here.

"I am the most skeptical buyer in the world. The clinical study is what sold me, the texture is what kept me. Not greasy."

"Started using this after a course of retinoids wrecked my barrier. Calmed everything down within two weeks."

Couldn't find your question? Write to our chemist directly at formulator@novea.co.

  1. GHK-Cu is a copper-bound tripeptide that signals fibroblasts in the dermis to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. Levels in skin drop substantially with age. Topical application has been studied for over thirty years across more than 200 peer-reviewed papers.

  2. Studies show meaningful biological activity from 0.1% upwards, with diminishing returns past about 1%. Above that, the copper coloration becomes cosmetically distracting without added efficacy.

  3. Yes — but on alternate evenings. Low-pH vitamin C and copper peptides can destabilise each other in the same application.

  4. The peptide actives in Novea 01 have no known contraindication for pregnancy or breastfeeding. We still recommend confirming with your OB/midwife.

  5. Peptides degrade with light exposure. Amber pharmaceutical glass blocks the wavelengths most damaging to copper-bound peptides.

  6. Sixty days, no questions, even if the bottle is half-empty. We will refund and you keep the bottle. Skincare needs time, and we would rather you finish the trial.
