01
Lines that stay
Expression lines settle into place as the collagen network thins and the skin loses its ability to spring back.
Benefit / Skin
Skin is an organ.
Feed it like one.
What shows on the surface is the last step of a process that starts several layers down, in cells that build collagen, hold water and defend themselves against damage. NOVOS works on that layer.

The vocabulary
What people usually mean by aging skin
Four different biological processes, four different vocabularies. Naming them precisely is the first step to knowing which one you are actually trying to change.
02
Firmness that fades
Along the jaw and cheeks, structure gives way before tone does. It reads as softness rather than wrinkles.
03
A tired-looking tone
Dull, uneven color often traces back to circulation and slower turnover rather than surface dryness.
04
Slower recovery
A late night, a long flight or a day in the sun takes longer to fade from your face than it used to.
The map
Six systems decide how skin ages
Not six ingredients. Six processes. Select one to see what it governs and which part of the NOVOS system touches it.
Hydration
Hyaluronic acid binds many times its weight in water inside the dermis. As levels drop with age, skin holds less and looks flatter. Supporting it from the inside keeps the reservoir topped up rather than sealing moisture at the surface.
CoreDirect. Hyaluronic acid plus glycine
VitalIndirect. Barrier and inflammation support
BoostIndirect. Cellular energy for repair
BarSupportive. Whole-food fats and fiber
Chapter 01 / NOVOS Core
The foundation, and the one with human skin data
Core is a twelve-ingredient formula built around the biology of aging rather than the appearance of it. Skin happens to be where that work becomes visible first.
Human study90 day study
22%
average increase in skin hydration after 90 days of daily NOVOS Core.
What the study actually looked at
Participants took Core daily for 90 days while hydration, elasticity and firmness were measured with instruments rather than self-report. Hydration moved the most, elasticity and firmness followed on a slower curve.
Averages, not guarantees. Individual results varied with baseline status, sun exposure and consistency of use.
Press and hold, then let go
Firmness is how far skin gives way when you push on it. Elasticity is how quickly it comes back once you stop. Press both pads at once and watch the difference on release.
Aged skin
Low elasticity, low firmness
Well supported skin
High elasticity, high firmness
Press and hold
Aged skin. Dents deeply, takes about two seconds to fill back in
Well supported skin. Barely dents, snaps back almost instantly
Measured, not implied
Instrument readings for moisture and mechanical properties give a number you can argue with. That is the point of publishing them.
Five ingredients doing the visible work
Holds water inside the dermis
Hyaluronic acid
A single gram binds up to six liters of water. Oral hyaluronic acid has been studied for skin moisture and, in several trials, for the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.
Human study
Chapter 02 / NOVOS Vital
Carotenoids build a reserve in the tissue itself
Eat them consistently and lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in skin over several weeks. They sit in the tissue and absorb some of the energy that would otherwise damage it.
Vital adds that carotenoid layer alongside rutin for vessel integrity and inulin for the gut side of the inflammation story. It is the sun-exposure and daily-load formula.
Human studyEarly evidence
Lutein and zeaxanthin
Studied for skin hydration, elasticity and surface lipid levels. The effect builds over weeks as tissue levels rise.
Photoprotection
Dietary carotenoids raise the minimal erythema dose slightly in controlled studies.
Rutin and inulin
One supports capillary integrity so delivery keeps up. The other feeds the gut bacteria linked to lower inflammatory load.
This is not sun protection
An internal antioxidant reserve is a layer under your sunscreen, never a replacement for it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something less carefully than we would like.
Chapter 03 / NOVOS Boost
Repair costs energy, and NAD+ is the currency
Every collagen fiber a fibroblast builds and every strand of damaged DNA it repairs runs on cellular energy. NAD+ levels fall as we age, and the repair budget falls with them.
Boost supplies NMN, a direct NAD+ precursor. The skin story here is upstream.
Small pilotLab model
NMN
Taken daily, absorbed and converted.
NAD+
Cellular levels rise, restoring headroom for enzymes that depend on it.
DNA repair
Sirtuins and PARPs draw on NAD+ to fix accumulated damage.
Mitochondrial output
More usable energy inside skin cells.
Fibroblast activity
The cells that build collagen have fuel to work with.
Where the evidence stands
Human trials show NMN raises blood NAD+ levels. The link from higher NAD+ to visible skin change is supported mostly by laboratory and animal work.
Chapter 04 / NOVOS Bar
The same nutrition, arriving as food
Amino acids for collagen, astaxanthin for oxidative defense, fiber for the gut side of inflammation. Bar delivers them in a matrix of whole ingredients rather than a capsule.
For skin, the relevant part is steadiness. Protein arriving with fat and fiber is absorbed on a gentler curve, and the polyphenols come along with it.
Human studyEarly evidence
Astaxanthin
A carotenoid from microalgae studied for elasticity and moisture, with results reported across several small human trials.
Taurine
One of the five longevity supplements built into the Bar. Taurine works as a cellular osmolyte, helping cells hold water, and buffers the oxidative stress that wears on collagen over time.
The whole-food matrix
Seeds, cocoa, cranberries and olive oil bring polyphenols and fats that a capsule cannot carry.

Which formula touches which goal
Direct means the formula was built for that outcome. Supportive and indirect mean it helps without being the main lever.

Two directions
Inside and outside solve different problems
From the inside
- Supplies the raw materials for collagen synthesis
- Raises antioxidant levels within the tissue itself
- Supports circulation that feeds every skin cell
- Works on the whole surface of the body at once
- Moves slowly and measures in months
Both, ideally
From the outside
- Blocks UV before it reaches living tissue
- Seals water at the surface within minutes
- Treats a specific area you can point at
- Delivers actives directly to the upper layers
- Shows results quickly, then plateaus
Expectations
A realistic timeline
Skin turns over on a monthly cycle and collagen remodels over seasons. Anything promising a week is promising the wrong biology.
01
Weeks 1 to 4
Hydration and comfort shift first. Skin feels less tight, and makeup sits differently. Little of this is visible in a photograph yet.
02
Weeks 4 to 8
Carotenoid levels in tissue reach a plateau. Tone starts to even out and recovery from a rough week gets faster.
03
Weeks 8 to 12
Elasticity and firmness measures move. This is where the collagen network has had time to remodel, and where the study saw its clearest gains.

NOVOS BarFrom people using it
★★★★★
Three months in and the difference is in how my skin recovers. A bad week no longer shows on my face for a fortnight.
★★★★★
I started for the longevity side of it. The skin change was the part my friends noticed first.
★★★★☆
Nothing dramatic in month one. By month three my skin holds moisture in a way it has not for years.
The position
Good skin is not a cosmetic achievement. It is what a well-supplied, well-repaired organ looks like from the outside.
Questions
You asked, we answered.
Skin works on its own schedule. The outer layer turns over roughly every four weeks in younger adults and more slowly with age, and the deeper collagen network remodels over months, not days.
In the NOVOS Core human study, hydration and elasticity measures moved over 90 days. A fair expectation is subtle changes in comfort and hydration in the first month, with texture and firmness taking two to three months of consistent daily use.
Start
Give it ninety days
That is roughly how long skin needs to show what a change in its supply line does. The guarantee covers the rest.
