We spent a year on a jar, then threw the jar away
The formula was finished long before the packaging was. The packaging turned out to be the harder problem.
A jar of face cream gets opened about sixty times before it is finished. That is sixty exposures to air, to bathroom steam, to whatever was on your hands at eleven at night. Nobody thinks about this because nobody watches a jar age.
We did. We kept jars of our own formula open on a bench and used them the way people actually use them, with fingers, in a humid room, for two months. The cream at the end of the jar was not the cream at the start of it.
The last month of a jar is never the same product as the first.
PDRN is the reason this mattered to us. It is a polynucleotide ingredient, and the whole point of using it is that it arrives intact. Putting it in a wide-mouth jar and asking a customer to scoop it for two months is working against the ingredient.
So the jar went. What replaced it is less elegant on a shelf and better in practice: one hundred capsules, each sealed on its own, each holding a single application.
What a jar does
- Exposes the whole batch every time it opens
- Takes fingers back in after every use
- Gives a different dose every morning
- Stays open for two months
What a capsule does
- Exposes one dose, for a few seconds
- Goes in the bin after one use
- Gives the same amount every night
- Stays sealed until its turn
PDRN Capsule Cream 100
One hundred single-dose capsules of PDRN cream for face and neck. Twist, press, done.
There is a second thing capsules fix that we did not plan for. Dosing. People under-apply cream on the neck and over-apply on the face, and they do both inconsistently, because a scoop is a guess made at the end of a long day. A capsule is not a guess. It holds one amount and it holds it every night.
The trade-off is real and worth stating. Capsules cost more to produce than a jar, and a hundred of them weigh more than one lid. We decided that was the right side to be wrong on.
What it is like to actually use
You twist the tip off with a fingernail. The dose comes out in one press. It works over the face and down the neck without needing a second scoop, and then the capsule goes in the bin. The whole thing takes about three seconds, which matters more than it sounds like it should, because a routine you can do half asleep is a routine you keep.
Capsule one hundred is packed the same way capsule one was.
Who this is not for
If you like the ritual of a jar, this will feel clinical. If you want a cream that doubles as a body moisturiser, a hundred small doses is the wrong shape for that. And if you are looking for a product that promises to transform your face in a week, we do not sell one and would not trust a brand that did.
Sealed until the second you use it
One hundred capsules, one dose each, nothing left open on a shelf. Boring, on purpose.
