The VEXYRE Science Matrix
Understanding your skincare starts with understanding the ingredients.
Explore the active ingredients used across VEXYRE protocols and learn what they are, why they are used and where they fit within your routine.
NAD+
What is it?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism, increasingly incorporated into advanced skincare formulations as part of modern active systems.
Why is it used in skincare?
Used in emerging formulations focused on skin conditioning and supporting skin appearance. Included across all four VEXYRE facial protocols as part of its targeted active approach.
How does it fit into a routine?
Included within the targeted serum step. Apply after cleansing, before moisturizer, morning or evening according to the protocol instructions.
Which VEXYRE protocols contain it?
NAD+ Skincare
What is it?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide. It is a DNA-derived ingredient extracted from salmon and used in cosmetic and dermatological formulations. VEXYRE uses 550PPM Salmon PDRN.
Why is it used in skincare?
PDRN is studied for its skin-conditioning applications and is incorporated into modern formulations focused on skin appearance, texture and the visible signs of aging.
How does it fit into a routine?
Apply as the targeted treatment step — after cleansing, before moisturizer. Follow with broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use.
Which VEXYRE protocol contains it?
Peptides
What is it?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins. VEXYRE uses a Triple-Peptide Complex and a Matrixyl Dual-Peptide Complex, each selected for their cosmetic properties in targeted formulations.
Why is it used in skincare?
Used in cosmetic formulations focused on the appearance of fine lines, skin firmness and smoother-looking skin. Different peptides are selected for different cosmetic objectives.
How does it fit into a routine?
Apply to clean skin before moisturizer. Peptide serums can be layered with Hyaluronic Acid and used in morning or evening routines.
Which VEXYRE protocols contain it?
Hyaluronic Acid
What is it?
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring humectant found in the skin. VEXYRE uses Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid — different molecular weight forms in one formulation for a broader hydration-focused approach.
Why is it used in skincare?
Used to support moisture retention and improve the appearance of dry, dehydrated or dull-looking skin. One of the most widely used hydration ingredients in modern skincare.
How does it fit into a routine?
Apply after cleansing, before heavier moisturizers. Can be used morning and evening — pairs well with Vitamin C and peptide-based protocols.
Which VEXYRE protocol contains it?
Vitamin C — Stabilized
What is it?
VEXYRE uses 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Ether — a stabilized Vitamin C derivative designed to maintain potency and formulation stability compared to pure ascorbic acid.
Why is it used in skincare?
Used for antioxidant support and to improve the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone and the visible effects of environmental oxidative stress.
How does it fit into a routine?
Apply after cleansing, before moisturizer. Most commonly used in the morning routine. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use.
Which VEXYRE protocol contains it?
Ceramides
What is it?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up a significant part of the skin barrier. VEXYRE uses Ceramide NP and a Multi-Ceramide Shield across its protocols.
Why is it used in skincare?
Support barrier function, help reduce moisture loss and contribute to a healthier-looking skin appearance — particularly relevant for dry, sensitive or mature-looking skin.
How does it fit into a routine?
Sit in the targeted treatment step. Work well alongside hydration and anti-aging protocols to complete the skin barrier support.
