Prose Makes Skin Science Deeply Personal with New Custom Eye Care and a Next-Generation Custom Serum
The personalized beauty brand expands its skincare routine with a new Custom Eye Cream and Reusable Eye Patches, plus an upgraded Custom Serum
Prose, the global leader in personalization, today unveiled its new made-to-order skincare routine, introducing an upgraded Custom Serum, new Custom Eye Cream, and Reusable Eye Patches, all created one-of-a-kind to match the individual’s skincare needs. Designed to deliver targeted, high-performance care, the expanded collection combines Prose’s made-to-order personalization with advanced skincare innovation to deliver targeted, high-performance care that supports cellular resilience and evolves alongside each individual’s changing skin over time.

Skin Science, Made Deeply Personal
The expansion comes as the beauty industry undergoes a major shift toward preventive care and cellular science, with consumers trading complicated, multi-step routes and trend-driven ingredients for clinically proven solutions. According to market research firm NIQ, 75% of consumers now purchase three or fewer skincare products as they look to streamline their routines. Yet while routines are becoming simpler, skin itself is anything but static: environmental stressors, seasonal shifts, hormones, and lifestyle changes can continuously alter what it needs. Prose’s made-to-order model is designed to bridge that gap, creating personalized formulas that adapt alongside an individual’s evolving skin profile over time.
“Personalization should mean making every product work more effectively for your skin,” said Marie Mignon, Chief Scientific Officer at Prose. “We’ve anchored our serum in CL-01 Renewal Complex™, our new complex designed to help skin withstand stress, strengthen cellular resilience, and reactivate the biological pathways that support youthful-looking skin. Paired with our new Custom Eye Cream and Reusable Eye Patches, each custom precision-blended formula is designed not just for someone’s skin type, but for their skin right now.”
The updated skincare collection brings targeted care to every step, featuring a clean label design inspired by modern apothecary roots and custom formulas tailored to each individual’s consultation:
- Custom Serum (Updated Next Generation Formula): Prose’s serum pairs clinically tested actives with bespoke ingredients selected for your unique skin concerns. Formulated to support your unique skin biology, goals, and environment, your custom formula may now include the science-backed CL-01 Renewal Complex™, composed of 5% NAD+ Precursor, Tri-Hyaluronic Acid, and Biotech Reishi Mushroom. This will target key priorities—such as supporting collagen structure and visibly improving firmness, fine lines, uneven skin tone, dark spots, or blemishes—delivering results that continue to evolve over time. In consumer studies, 94% saw healthier-looking skin after 4 weeks and 91% reported a visibly brighter, more even tone after 12 weeks.
- Custom Eye Cream (New): Made specifically for the delicate eye area, this fragrance-free, dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested cream delivers targeted benefits based on each consultation. Formulated with select high-performance ingredients—such as Biotech Collagen, Encapsulated Caffeine, or Centella Asiatica—it addresses individual concerns like dark circles, puffiness, under-eye bags, and fine lines. It delivers immediate hydration and brightness, with 92% of users reporting that skin around their eyes feels smoother after four weeks. After four weeks, it visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing, firming, lifting, and improving elasticity.
- Reusable Eye Patches (New): Designed to pair with Prose Custom Eye Cream, these thin, flexible patches are made with medical-grade silicone and contour to the unique shape of the eye area, creating a seal that helps lock in moisture. Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for sensitive skin and contact-lens wearers, the reusable patches can also be refrigerated for a boosted cooling effect.
Like all Prose formulas, the Custom Serum and Custom Eye Cream are freshly made to order in the U.S., helping minimize overproduction and excess waste. Our products are suitable for sensitive skin, cruelty-free, and are formulated for optimal tolerance. As a Certified B Corporation, Prose reinforces its dedication to conscious care through sustainable sourcing and made-to-order manufacturing.
The new skincare line is available across the United States and Canada on Prose.com, starting at $68 USD and $92 CAD for the Custom Serum; $52 USD and $72 CAD for the Custom Eye Cream; and $26 USD and $36 CAD for the Reusable Eye Patches.

Evea Microalgae Gold Radiance Review: Ocean-Inspired Skincare Made in San Diego
As someone who enjoys discovering thoughtfully made local products, I was immediately interested when I learned about Evea, a women-owned skincare brand based here in San Diego. Its flagship product, MICROALGAE Gold Radiance, brings together marine-derived ingredients, botanical oils, antioxidants, and colloidal gold in a moisturizer designed to support hydrated, healthy-looking skin.
Created by founders Mithu Sherin and Sue Dillon, Evea began with a shared interest in natural skincare and the search for ingredients that could help address dryness, visible aging, and environmental stress. The cream is formulated and produced in small batches in Carlsbad, California, giving the brand a strong connection to Southern California and the Pacific Ocean.
The most distinctive part of the formula is Evea’s proprietary Microalgae-7 complex. According to the brand, it includes astaxanthin, squalene, omega-3, and andrographolide—ingredients selected for their antioxidant, moisturizing, and skin-conditioning properties. The cream also contains GABA, vitamins A, C, and E, aloe vera, avocado oil, jojoba oil, rosehip seed oil, colloidal gold, and several other plant-based ingredients.
While skincare claims should always be approached realistically, the ingredient list does suggest that hydration is a major focus. Glycerin, jojoba oil, avocado oil, aloe, panthenol, and a blend of nourishing oils can all help support softer, more comfortable skin. Evea describes the product as a deeply moisturizing cream intended to improve the appearance of skin texture, elasticity, fine lines, and dryness. These are the brand’s claims rather than guaranteed results, since skincare will perform differently depending on a person’s skin type and routine. The complete formula and product details are available on the Evea MICROALGAE Gold Radiance product page.
The inclusion of colloidal gold gives the product its luxury identity, but the microalgae complex is the more interesting part of the story for me. Algae-derived ingredients have become increasingly popular in skincare because they can contain beneficial lipids and antioxidants. Evea builds its entire formulation around this marine inspiration rather than treating algae as a minor decorative ingredient.
MICROALGAE Gold Radiance is described as a light, silky cream that can be applied during the day or at night. Evea recommends smoothing a thin, even layer over the face and neck after cleansing while avoiding the eye area. If you use a serum, the brand suggests applying it first and allowing it to absorb before following with the moisturizer. Sunscreen should always be the final step when using the cream during the day.
The product comes in 1-ounce and 1.7-ounce sizes, with prices starting at $85. That places it firmly in the luxury skincare category, so the value will depend on how well the formula works for your individual skin and how long one bottle lasts. Because the directions recommend only a thin layer, a small amount may be enough for each application.
The formula is vegan-friendly and does not contain mineral oil, according to the brand. However, it does contain lavender and geranium essential oils. These may contribute to the sensory experience, but people with highly sensitive or fragrance-reactive skin may want to review the full ingredient list and perform a patch test before applying it to the entire face. The formula also includes retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A derivative, which is another reason to be consistent about wearing SPF during the day.
What makes Evea especially appealing is the combination of its local story and its nature-meets-science philosophy. This is not simply a moisturizer placed in luxurious packaging. The product is built around a specific idea: using algae-derived ingredients and complementary botanicals to create rich, lasting hydration while celebrating the natural resources associated with the California coast.
It is also refreshing to discover a beauty product developed and manufactured locally rather than produced anonymously far away from the brand behind it. Knowing that Evea was founded by women and is made in small batches in Carlsbad gives the product a more personal identity—especially for shoppers who enjoy supporting independent San Diego businesses.
Based on the formulation, MICROALGAE Gold Radiance appears most appealing for normal, dry, or mature skin that benefits from oils and a more nourishing moisturizer. Those with oily, acne-prone, or fragrance-sensitive skin may want to introduce it gradually and observe how their skin responds.
Evea MICROALGAE Gold Radiance offers an intriguing combination of marine science, botanical ingredients, and California-inspired luxury. Its $85 starting price makes it an investment rather than an impulse purchase, but its locally made formula and distinctive Microalgae-7 complex help separate it from a typical everyday moisturizer.
For anyone interested in rich hydration, algae-based skincare, and supporting a women-owned San Diego brand, Evea is certainly one to explore. I’m especially curious to see how the cream feels on the skin, how well it layers under sunscreen and makeup, and whether its moisturizing effect truly lasts throughout the day.
You can learn more about the brand and its approach to marine-inspired skincare on the Evea website.

Perricone MD Relaunches the Neuropeptide Collection, Spotlighting Two Targeted Serums for Visible Lifting and Deep Wrinkle Reduction
Perricone MD today announces the relaunch of its Neuropeptide Collection, marking a new era of intelligent skincare engineered to visibly reduce the most advanced signs of aging. With nearly 30 years of research, clinically proven results, and a holistic philosophy rooted in beauty from the inside-out and outside-in, the reimagined collection delivers skincare with experience through formulas created to support skin shaped by time and expression.

At the core of the collection is Perricone MD’s long-standing expertise in neuropeptide science, an approach pioneered by founder Dr. Nicholas Perricone, one of the first to use neuropeptides in topical skincare for their high-performing benefits. These powerful, protein-like building blocks help unite surface cells and visibly reduce wrinkle depth. Formulated with the brand’s most advanced neuropeptide technology and next-generation biotech ingredients, including biomimetic growth factor peptides, this targeted collection improves elasticity, lift, and contour in areas prone to sagging or creasing. Together, these precision-driven actives deliver visible results that honor both the skin and the story it tells.
The Neuropeptide Deep Crease Serum is designed for areas most prone to etched-in, repetitive movement, addressing frown lines, smile lines, nasolabial folds, and creases around the eyes, lips, and forehead. It works to smooth the appearance of deep-set wrinkles, improve surface uniformity, and reinforce the skin’s look of density and structural resilience, particularly in high-movement zones. Plant Stem Cells, derived from a rare Swiss apple, work alongside the peptides to further promote thickness and support overall smoothness and resiliency.
The Neuropeptide Eyelid Lift Serum is an ultra-lightweight, fast-absorbing formula created for one of the most delicate and expressive areas of the face: the upper eyelid. It visibly smooths eyelid creases, crepiness, and uneven texture, while reducing the look of drooping or sagging lids. Over time, the eye area appears lifted, defined, and more awake. In addition to the core peptide technology, the serum features Perricone MD’s patented Acyl-Glutathione, which helps to replenish fragile skin, reduce the look of creases, and reveal a smoother, more youthful appearance.
“The reimagined Neuropeptide Collection represents what Perricone MD has always stood for, skincare guided by experience, science, and results,” said Lance Patterson, Global President of Perricone MD. “With decades of research behind our neuropeptide technology, this relaunch marks a new era of intelligent skincare designed to support skin as it evolves. These formulas are created to visibly lift, smooth, and define, addressing the realities of mature skin with precision, respect, and proven expertise.”
The Neuropeptide Deep Crease Serum (1 US fl. oz. / $189) and Neuropeptide Eyelid Lift Serum (0.5 US fl. oz. / $129) are now available for purchase on PerriconeMD.com and select retail partners. Both products are suitable for all skin types.
