Radiance / Red light / Amplifier
The serum your red light has been waiting for.
A majority-oil serum formulated to be worn before a red light session or on its own. CoQ10 supports the same cellular pathway your panel activates. Bakuchiol delivers collagen signaling comparable to retinol, without the photosensitivity, peeling, or prescription. Pterostilbene, a polyphenol with decades of longevity research behind it. Each active at the level the published research used, listed on the Certificate of Analysis shipped with every order. Apply before your panel, or use it nightly on its own. Actives chosen because red light makes them work.
We're shipping to first-wave customers now. Real reviews go up the moment we have signal — week four, six, eight. No curated testimonials, no recruited influencers.
Until then, the 60-day satisfaction refund means the only risk is ours.- Supports brighter-looking, calmer tone (CoQ10 + Pterostilbene)

- Squalane Oil · 63.9%: An oil your skin already makes, a lipid-soluble carrier for the rest of the actives
- Meadowfoam Oil · 26%: A remarkably stable oil, lets us keep the formula fresh without heavy preservatives
- CoQ10 · 2%: The antioxidant your skin makes naturally (and loses with age)
- Bakuchiol · 1%: A plant-based alternative to retinol, with head-to-head clinical research³
- Pterostilbene · 0.1%: A polyphenol in the resveratrol family, oil-soluble and stable in our base
- Vitamin K: For the look of even tone
- Vitamin E: The classic oil-phase antioxidant
- Pomegranate Oil: A stable source of punicic acid for the barrier
10 minutes before your red-light session:
- Cleanse with Purity
- Apply your Morning or Evening serum
- Press 2–3 drops of Radiance into skin, wait 2 minutes
- Begin your device session (633 nm / 660 nm / 810 nm)
Radiance is formulated to be used with or without a red light device, the actives are chosen for their published cosmetic research independent of light therapy.
Built to work across the wavelengths a red light panel emits:
- 633 nm Red: works with the collagen-rebuilding signal red light starts in your skin cells
- 660 nm Deep Red: the wavelength your mitochondria absorb most strongly
- 810 nm Near-Infrared: reaches the deeper layers where collagen rebuilds
Works with all professional and at-home red light devices. Pairs especially well with the Chroma Radiance panel.
Which serum is me?
Three serums. Pick by what you want to address first. Evening is the most common starting point, peptide-rich overnight support for the appearance of firmness, smoothness, and calm.
- Softer expression lines
- Antioxidant defense vs. daytime stress
- Mitochondrial support at the skin level
- Triple-peptide repair (GHK-Cu + Matrixyl + PAL-150)
- Engineered multi-stage delivery
- Calmer, less reactive barrier
- Worn during your red light session
- Mitochondrial cofactor stack (CoQ10 + Pterostilbene)
- Bakuchiol, retinol alternative without photosensitivity

Built on CoQ10.
CoQ10 is the antioxidant your skin makes naturally, and makes less of every year. Published research shows levels drop steadily with age. It's also heavily studied in the red light therapy literature — the antioxidant working at the same cellular site the panel activates. Radiance uses it toward the upper end of cosmetic formulations.
An antioxidant your skin makes naturally and loses with age. Radiance replaces it toward the upper end of the range used in published cosmetic research.
The full formula.
Seven further actives and base lipids, each chosen to deliver active compounds while keeping the formula optically clear at red light wavelengths. Tap any card for role, evidence, and synergy with your panel.
Your skin has a clock.
Light + actives, multiplied.
Red light wakes up the cells that build collagen in your skin. The actives in Radiance are the ingredients those cells need to do the rebuilding work. Most serums don't think about what the panel needs. Radiance does.
Read the full science →In a 12-week split-face trial, 0.5% bakuchiol applied twice daily was comparable to 0.5% retinol for reducing wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, with significantly fewer side effects (no scaling, no stinging, no photosensitivity).
What's not inside.
Every ingredient earns its place. No fillers, no obfuscation, no proprietary-blend hiding.
What to expect, week by week.
Timelines below are drawn from published clinical trials on Bakuchiol and CoQ10 at Radiance's dosed concentrations. We're running our own internal trial pairing Radiance with a red light panel; when results are in, they'll live here, full methodology, all endpoints.
Smooth, calm surface.
The 90% oil base restores a skin-matched lipid profile immediately. CoQ10 begins to load the mitochondrial pipeline. Barrier feels softer, less reactive.
Bakuchiol kicks in.
Collagen-signaling effects appear in the published bakuchiol timeline. Fine lines soften; tone evens. No retinol-style flaking or sun sensitivity.
Mitochondrial compound.
CoQ10 + Pterostilbene work in the same pathway red light therapy activates. Paired use shows compounded results; solo use still tracks with Dhaliwal's bakuchiol data.
Full protocol hold.
Bakuchiol's retinol-equivalent outcomes at 12 weeks + accumulated mitochondrial support. Works alone; multiplies with a panel.
No reviews yet.
We're new. Radiance is shipping to its first wave of customers right now. When they've used the protocol long enough to tell us what actually changed, paired with a panel and without, we'll publish their results here. Good or bad.
No curated testimonials. No recruited influencers. No borrowed reviews from other products. Just what real users report at week four, six, eight, the timeline ingredient-level research actually predicts.

Write to the labNo. Bakuchiol has head-to-head clinical research against retinol for the look of fine lines³, and CoQ10 and Pterostilbene both have strong standalone research. Radiance is formulated to work on its own, and pairs cleanly with a red light panel if you have one.
Apply Radiance as the last step before your red light session, after Morning or Evening. Wait 2–3 minutes for absorption, then begin your light therapy. The oil base settles into the skin's lipid matrix rather than sitting on top, so photons pass through to the dermis without being scattered by a surface film. If you don't use a panel, Radiance works as a nighttime closer or a morning step under SPF (no photosensitivity from Bakuchiol, unlike retinol).
It has the clinical research to back it up. In a 12-week split-face study, 0.5% bakuchiol and 0.5% retinol showed comparable results on the look of wrinkles and uneven tone. The key difference: the bakuchiol group had significantly fewer side effects — no dryness, no scaling, no photosensitivity.³
Two reasons. First, the lead actives (CoQ10, Pterostilbene, Bakuchiol, vitamins E and K) are all fat-soluble, they partition into lipids, not water. An oil base puts them in their preferred phase for stability and skin delivery. Second, Squalane oil is one of the few carriers that stays optically transparent at red light wavelengths. A water-based serum with emulsifiers would scatter the beam before it reached your skin.
Yes, but at different times. Use your prescription retinoid (tretinoin, tazarotene, etc.) in the PM with Evening. Use Radiance before your morning red light session or as an AM layer under SPF. The bakuchiol in Radiance isn't redundant with your prescription, it operates through a slightly different receptor subset and adds antioxidant protection your retinoid doesn't provide. Layering is fine; just don't mix the two in the same application.
