When to use

How to use
Morning: Apply the Antioxidant Serum to clean, damp or dry skin. Dispense two to three pumps and press gently into the face and neck until absorbed. Follow with sunscreen.

The science behind the M-Veil™ Complex
- Vitamin C, 2%. Formulated as Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA), a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C built for potency without the instability of traditional forms. Supports the skin's natural collagen-building process and regenerates Vitamin E.
- CoQ10, 1%. Found naturally in every skin cell, where it plays a direct role in mitochondrial energy production, fueling the processes that keep cells functioning at their best. Helps defend against everyday environmental stress.
- Bakuchiol, 0.5%. A plant-derived alternative to retinol without the associated irritation. Supports natural cell turnover and texture, reinforcing the complex's collagen-supporting effect.
- Vitamin E, 1%. A lipid-soluble antioxidant that works within cell membranes to interrupt oxidative damage before it spreads, helping maintain the barrier's moisture balance. Regenerated by Vitamin C, the two work together as a continuous protective pair.
- Reishi, 1.25%. Rich in triterpenes and beta-glucans that help calm the look of irritation and support the skin barrier, lending an adaptogenic quality to the complex.
- Chaga, 1.25%. Among the most antioxidant-dense fungi studied. Helps defend skin against everyday environmental stressors and contributes to a more even-looking complexion.
- Cordyceps, 1.25%. Traditionally prized for supporting vitality and endurance. Works alongside CoQ10 to support the skin's own energy processes.
- Maitake, 1.25%. Rich in polysaccharides that form a lightweight, moisture-retentive film, supporting hydration and softness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Antioxidant Serum and the Resilience Balm, and why use both?
They share the same M-Veil™ Complex, formulated in two delivery vehicles. The lightweight Antioxidant Serum absorbs quickly for daytime wear, while the richer Resilience Balm seals everything in overnight. Used together, they support skin around the clock.
Who is the Resilience Reset designed for?
Philogeni is formulated for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and beyond, generally from the mid-thirties onward, when skin's needs begin to shift. The ritual is designed to support skin through that evolution, not against it.
Is the M-Veil™ Complex suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes. Both products are also available fragrance-free, with no masking fragrance added, for those who prefer a simpler formula.
How soon will I see results, and is there a guarantee?
Most people notice a difference in feel and appearance within a few weeks of consistent use. Philogeni backs the Resilience Reset with a 60 day guarantee.
Can the Resilience Balm be used during the day too?
While it is formulated as your evening step, the Resilience Balm also works well as a daytime top-up whenever skin needs extra protection, such as after time outdoors in harsh conditions.

Questions we welcome.
How is this different from a face oil?
A traditional face oil is typically a simple blend designed for surface hydration. The Bio-Lipid Concentrate is a precision-formulated lipid serum — ten cold-pressed seed oils chosen to mirror the skin's own lipid profile, plus active botanicals (bakuchiol, CoQ10, 4 adaptogenic mushrooms) that work below the surface to support how skin looks and feels over time. It absorbs faster, layers better, and does more than a face oil alone.
Can I use this with my retinol?
Bakuchiol is the plant-based retinol alternative — so most people choose to use the concentrate instead of retinol, not alongside it. If you're already on a prescription retinoid (tretinoin, adapalene), you can alternate evenings: retinoid one night, Bio-Lipid Concentrate the next. Always consult your dermatologist when adjusting a prescription routine.
How is this different from a vitamin C serum?
The Bio-Lipid Concentrate is an anhydrous (water-free) antioxidant serum that delivers lipid-soluble actives — CoQ10, bakuchiol, tocopherol, and adaptogenic mushrooms — to defend against oxidative stress while replenishing the skin's lipid barrier. A Vitamin C serum is typically a water-based formula delivering a single water-soluble antioxidant; the Bio-Lipid Concentrate offers a broader spectrum of fat-soluble antioxidants that reach where Vitamin C can't.
How long does 1 bottle last?
With 2–3 drops per application, once or twice daily, a 30 mL bottle typically lasts 2–3 months. The Miron glass bottle is designed to protect the active botanicals from light degradation, so the formula stays potent from first drop to last.
Will it make my skin oily or break me out?
The concentrate is formulated with non-comedogenic oils and olive and sugarcane-derived squalane that absorb cleanly without clogging pores. Most users find it leaves a satin, dewy finish. That said, every complexion is unique. If you're acne-prone, start with 2 drops every other evening and build from there.
Does the scent fade?
Yes — the neroli and sandalwood essential oils are designed to be a fleeting sensory experience during application. Within minutes of absorption, the scent settles into a subtle skin note rather than a lingering fragrance.
Is it safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding?
The concentrate contains bakuchiol, which is often chosen as a pregnancy-friendly alternative to retinol, and essential oils (neroli, sandalwood) at fragrance-level concentrations. However, individual circumstances vary — always consult your healthcare provider before using new skincare products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Where is it made?
Formulated and bottled in Victoria, BC, Canada. Cold-pressed seed oils are sourced from sustainable suppliers across Africa, the Mediterranean, and North America. Sandalwood is sustainably harvested from certified plantations in New Caledonia.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Skin is personal, and not every formula suits every face. Reach out to hello@philogeni.com — we'll do our best to make it right.
Why Miron Glass?
Miron violet glass filters out the visible light spectrum that degrades sensitive botanicals — particularly bakuchiol, CoQ10, and the cold-pressed seed oils. It's a small commitment to potency: the formula you apply on day 90 should be as effective as the one you applied on day 1.
What's the shelf life?
Unopened: 24 months from manufacture date. Once opened: 12 months (indicated by the 12M symbol on the packaging). Store below 30 °C, away from direct sunlight.
