Advanced biotechnology, intelligent ingredients, and a new approach to achieving healthier-looking skin.
At Neves, we're intentional about the skincare brands we bring into our treatment rooms and what we recommend to our clients. We believe beautiful skin begins with healthy skin, and our philosophy has always centered around supporting long-term skin health rather than relying on temporary solutions.
So when a skincare brand introduces technology that genuinely challenges what we've come to expect from topical products, we pay attention.
Meet Ourself — the biotechnology-driven skincare line our entire team at Neves has been loving.
From visibly plumper skin and softened fine lines to a brighter, more even complexion, Ourself has quickly become a favorite among our skin specialists.
What makes this line so exciting isn't simply its impressive ingredient lists. It's the science behind how those ingredients are delivered into the skin.
And that is where Ourself really stands apart from any other product line we've used before.
What Makes Ourself Different?
It starts with the delivery system.
One of the biggest challenges in skincare has always been getting beneficial ingredients beyond the skin's outermost layers.
Our skin barrier is designed to protect us. While that's essential for maintaining healthy skin, it also means certain ingredients, particularly larger molecules have difficulty penetrating deeply when applied topically.
Traditional skincare formulations can be incredibly beneficial, but their effectiveness is influenced by ingredient stability, molecular size, formulation, and how successfully those ingredients reach their intended targets.
Ourself developed a patented technology called Tiered-Release Vesicles™ (TRV™) to address this challenge.
Think of these microscopic vesicles as sophisticated delivery vehicles. We love this informative video showing the biotech methods of this advanced delivery system. Watch how it works HERE.
Rather than simply depositing ingredients onto the skin's surface, this technology is engineered to encapsulate active ingredients within multiple phospholipid layers and release them progressively as they interact with the skin. These vesicles contain approximately 18–50 layers and are designed to help deliver ingredients beyond the superficial skin barrier.
This creates an opportunity for ingredients to reach areas where they can have a greater visible impact on hydration, skin texture, firmness, and uneven pigmentation.
What excites us most is that this technology approaches skincare differently. Instead of focusing exclusively on adding more active ingredients, Ourself focuses on how effectively those ingredients are delivered.
Let's breakdown a few of our favorite serums
Advanced Regenerative Serum: The All-in-One Serum
If there's one product that captures what makes Ourself so unique, it's the Advanced Regenerative Serum, or ARS.
This is so much more than a traditional hydrating serum.
Advanced Regenerative Serum combines ingredients that address multiple visible signs of skin aging, including fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture, dullness, and dehydration.
What we love is that instead of needing several separate serums to target these concerns, ARS brings complementary ingredients together in one thoughtfully engineered formula.
The Ingredients That Make ARS So Special
HA+ Complex — More Than Traditional Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is well known for its ability to attract and retain water, helping skin appear hydrated, supple, and plump.
ARS takes this a step further with an HA+ Complex that includes different forms of hyaluronic acid, along with ingredients designed to support the skin's natural hyaluronic acid balance.
This approach helps address not only hydration but also the visible loss of fullness that can accompany aging.
Regenerative Peptides — Supporting Firmer, Smoother-Looking Skin
ARS incorporates specialized peptides, including Pentapeptide-4 and sh-Hexapeptide-9 SP Acetate, selected for their ability to support the appearance of firmer, smoother skin.
Peptides are particularly exciting in longevity-focused skincare because they can help support the skin's natural processes associated with maintaining a youthful appearance.
Niacinamide — Supporting the Barrier and a More Even Complexion
One of our favorite multifunctional ingredients, niacinamide helps support the skin's moisture barrier, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, and reduce visible redness.
Stabilized Vitamin C — Antioxidant Support and Radiance
ARS contains aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate, a vitamin C derivative that provides antioxidant support and contributes to a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
Squalane, Oat Extract, and Nourishing Lipids — Supporting Skin Comfort
Hydration is only part of maintaining healthy skin. Supporting the skin's lipid barrier is equally important.
ARS combines moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients to help replenish softness and improve the feel of dry or dehydrated skin.
Why We Love It
Advanced Regenerative Serum addresses several concerns we frequently see in our treatment rooms: dehydration, fine lines, uneven texture, and loss of firmness.
The combination of hydrating ingredients, peptides, antioxidants, and barrier-supportive lipids makes it a well-rounded formulation.
And with Ourself's patented delivery system, the formula is designed to do more than traditional surface-level hydration.
For clients interested in preventative skincare and long-term skin longevity, ARS is one of the products we're most excited about.
Complexion Brightening Serum: A More Intelligent Approach to Uneven Skin Tone
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns we address at Neves.
Whether it's sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne, or persistent uneven skin tone, discoloration often requires a comprehensive approach.
What makes Complexion Brightening Serum (CBS) so impressive is that it combines multiple ingredients that address different pathways involved in the appearance of pigmentation.
Instead of relying on one brightening ingredient, CBS brings together a sophisticated collection of actives designed to complement one another.
A Closer Look at the Ingredients
MI9™ Intelligent Peptide — Ourself's Patented Brightening Innovation
One of the most unique components of CBS is MI9™, a patented peptide developed to target signaling involved in melanin production.
Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, but uneven production or distribution can contribute to visible dark spots, melasma and discoloration.
MI9™ is designed to help interrupt specific pigmentation-related signaling pathways, supporting a more even-looking complexion.
Tranexamic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Ester — Targeting the Appearance of Discoloration
Tranexamic acid has become one of our favorite ingredients for addressing uneven pigmentation.
It is particularly interesting because it targets pathways associated with excess pigmentation and can help improve the appearance of stubborn dark spots.
Ourself pairs tranexamic acid with a derivative, cetyl tranexamate mesylate, to create a multifaceted brightening formulation.
4-Butylresorcinol — A Targeted Brightening Ingredient
This ingredient is known for its ability to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production.
By addressing this pathway, 4-butylresorcinol helps support a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
Niacinamide — Helping Improve Visible Pigment Distribution
Niacinamide supports a more even complexion through a different mechanism, including helping reduce the transfer of melanin-containing structures to surrounding skin cells.
It also supports the moisture barrier, which is especially important when treating skin prone to discoloration.
Retinyl Linoleate — Supporting Skin Renewal
A vitamin A derivative combined with a fatty acid component, retinyl linoleate supports the appearance of smoother, more refined skin.
It complements the brightening ingredients by supporting skin renewal and improving the appearance of uneven texture.
Stabilized Vitamin C — Brightness and Antioxidant Protection
Aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate contributes additional antioxidant support while helping promote a more radiant-looking complexion.
Why This Combination Is So Exciting
What we find especially innovative about Complexion Brightening Serum is the way these ingredients work across different aspects of pigmentation.
Some ingredients target signaling associated with melanin production. Others influence pigment formation, pigment transfer, or skin renewal.
By combining these approaches into one formula, CBS offers a more comprehensive strategy for improving the appearance of uneven skin tone.
Ourself's TRV™ technology adds another layer of innovation by helping deliver selected ingredients to the areas where they are intended to have the greatest visible impact.
Why we're loving CBS:
-
Helps visibly fade the appearance of dark spots
-
Promotes a brighter, more even complexion
-
Addresses multiple pathways involved in discoloration
-
Improves the appearance of skin texture
-
Combines several powerful brightening ingredients in one formula
-
Offers a hydroquinone-free approach to pigmentation care
For clients concerned with sun damage, post-acne marks, and uneven pigmentation, this is an exciting addition to our corrective skincare offerings.
Advanced Regenerative Eye Serum: Because the Eye Area Deserves Specialized Care
The delicate skin around our eyes is often one of the first places we notice changes in hydration, firmness, and texture.
Fine lines, crepiness, dark circles, and loss of elasticity can make the eye area appear tired even when the rest of our skin looks healthy.
Advanced Regenerative Eye Serum is designed to address several of these concerns simultaneously.
It combines the brand's patented delivery technology with regenerative peptides, its HA+ Complex, niacinamide, stabilized vitamin C, and botanical extracts.
One of the ingredients we find particularly interesting is the combination of jasmine and hawthorn flower extracts, included to help improve the appearance of dark circles and upper-eyelid firmness.
Rather than focusing exclusively on moisturizing the under-eye area, this formula takes a broader approach to improving the appearance all areas of eye concerns we see with our customers.
Why our team loves it:
-
Visibly softens fine lines and crepey texture
-
Helps improve the appearance of dark circles
-
Supports firmer, smoother-looking skin
-
Provides hydration without a heavy, greasy finish
-
Brightens the appearance of tired eyes
-
Can be applied around the upper eyelid and brow bone as directed
It's an excellent example of how Ourself combines multiple targeted ingredients into a single, elegant formula.
Daily Renewal Cream Rich: The Perfect Complement to Advanced Skincare
At Neves, we believe that even the most advanced corrective skincare routine needs to prioritize a healthy moisture barrier.
This is why we've been loving Ourself's Daily Renewal Cream Rich.
While the serums focus on delivering targeted ingredients, Daily Renewal Cream Rich helps replenish moisture, support skin comfort, and improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity.
It's especially appealing for clients experiencing dryness, dehydration, or seasonal changes in their skin.
What Makes This Moisturizer Special?
Intides™ Intelligent Peptides
These carefully selected peptides, including palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, help support the appearance of firmer, smoother skin.
Hyaluronic Acid and Moisture-Binding Ingredients
Help attract and retain hydration for softer, more supple skin.
Ginger Root Extract
Provides skin-conditioning benefits and helps reduce the appearance of redness.
Carob Fruit and Chlorella Extracts
Included to support the moisture barrier and improve skin comfort.
Nourishing Emollients and Lipids
Help soften the skin and reduce the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Why We Love It
Daily Renewal Cream Rich delivers the comforting nourishment we want from a moisturizer while incorporating ingredients associated with visible skin rejuvenation.
It pairs beautifully with both Advanced Regenerative Serum and Complexion Brightening Serum.
For our Colorado clients, especially during the colder and drier months, this is the type of moisturizer we love incorporating into a barrier-focused routine.
How Can Ourself Combine So Many Active Ingredients Into One Formula?
This is one of the questions that makes Ourself particularly interesting to us as skin professionals.
Traditionally, clients have been encouraged to layer multiple serums to address different concerns: one for hydration, another for brightening, another for fine lines, and another for tone correction.
While layering can certainly be effective, it isn't always necessary, can be complicated for those who want a simple skincare routine, or expensive by adding in a multitude of products. We saw a trend where our clients were wanting to simplify for both the steps in their routine and keeping within a budget.
Ourself checked the boxes we were searching to deliver for our client experience without compromising achieving results.
Its Tiered-Release Vesicle™ system allows selected active ingredients to be encapsulated within engineered lipid structures designed to facilitate delivery into the skin.
The surrounding formulas also incorporate ingredients chosen for stability, hydration, skin conditioning, and overall compatibility.
This allows Ourself to build multifunctional serums that address several visible concerns at once.
Importantly, the technology doesn't mean that every ingredient is delivered to the same depth or that all ingredients would be compatible in any formulation. The innovation lies in the careful engineering of the finished product.
For us, this represents an exciting direction for skincare: fewer unnecessary steps, intelligently selected ingredients, and a greater emphasis on effective formulation.
Why Ourself Aligns With the Neves Philosophy
At Neves, our approach has always been rooted in skin longevity.
We want our clients to understand their skin, protect its barrier, and invest in consistent practices that support healthy skin through every stage of life and current skin concerns.
Ourself aligns with this philosophy by combining advanced biotechnology with ingredients selected to improve the visible quality of skin over time.
We especially appreciate that the line addresses concerns such as dehydration, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and texture without requiring an overly complicated routine.
Our goal isn't simply to help your skin look better for a short period of time. It's to build a long-term relationship with your skin, understand its changing needs, and choose products and treatments that support its health for years to come.
And while no topical skincare product can replace every benefit of professional treatments or reverse the natural aging process, thoughtful formulations like these can play a meaningful role in maintaining healthier-looking skin.
