C-Star Complex™, clean beauty's first non-irritating, ocean derived, retinol-identical peptide combined with other key ingredients is the magic and science behind our brand; intentionally developed for sensitive skin. Imagine a product with the benefits of traditional retinol but without the adverse side effects. Your complexion will exude a luminescent glow, skin's natural collagen and overall firmness improves, while the softening of fine lines lends a porcelain smoothness and youthful exuberance.
The Science of Asterias
Our formulations are precisely designed to target the visible signs of aging by restoring balance and allowing rejuvenation; thus forming the basis of next generation cosmetic science. C-Star Peptide Regenerating Serum is a complete age-defense, intense hydrating skincare treatment that is revolutionary in its approach to reawakening dormant youth as it tackles both intrinsic, extrinsic and premature aging. Truly in a class of its own, C-Star Peptide Regenerating Serum promotes skin health and enhanced luminosity by incorporating cutting edge multi-benefit ingredients within the core formula. The regenerative science of Asterias is the embodiment of high performance, results driven skincare where transparent formulating practices and scientifically based ingredients form a transformational alliance.Science of Ingredients
Patented marine peptide technology along with cutting edge active ingredients coalesce to repair and revitalize aging skin cells. Optimal concentrations of unique and scientifically proven bioactive compounds have been meticulously formulated using clean chemistry that incorporates natural preservation systems without the addition of harsh additives that can often compromise the skin barrier.
Patented Starfish Coelomic Fluid
Starfish coelomic extract is an ancient marine peptide that exhibits remarkable self-healing abilities. Coelomic extract has been scientifically proven to rebuild collagen, strengthen and heal the skin barrier, repair and revitalize aging skin cells. This ground-breaking superhero peptide awakens lost youth by diminishing signs of premature aging, counteracts environmental toxins, and replenishes depleting antioxidants, resulting in a visibly healthier and more luminous complexion.
Multimolecular Hyaluronic Acid
Multi-molecular hyaluronic acid, also known as the “youth molecule”, promotes intensive healing and increases hydration levels across the entire skin matrix, resulting in immediately hydrated skin, long term suppleness and smoothness, and a dramatically diminished skin sensitivity. Multiple molecular weights ensure deep and sustained hydration over several layers of the skin and create a 24-hour water reservoir right below the skin’s surface, while simultaneously fighting inflammation at the core. Health giving properties of multi-molecular hyaluronic acid molecules will ensure skin longevity for years to come.
Acetyl Hexapeptide 8
An alternative to injectables, this powerhouse all-in-one peptide, Advanced Acetyl-Hexapeptide 8, dramatically melts away expression lines by deeply penetrating the skin with small molecular weight peptides that smooth fine lines and administer deep hydration. Improved firmness and elasticity, increased volume appearance and lifting effects address the main demand of minimalistic beauty, multifunctional ingredients working harder while shrinking daily skincare routines. Most notable is the transformed state of youthfulness attained in a matter of days, instilling luminescence and confidence, powerfully yet non-invasively.
Snowflake Bulb Extract
This unique phyto-active slows the cellular aging process, essentially placing cells in a time capsule and allowing tired, aging cells to take their beauty sleep. Smoothed out fine lines and radiance are the immediate and long term outcomes.

The Truth About Peptides
Slow and steady wins the race is especially true when utilizing peptides in topical skincare. It is important to permit enough time for these precious ingredients to reveal the results shown through our own consumer trials and several of our ingredient partners. And remember that just like your health, caring for your skin is a life long commitment where self-care is part of your overall well being and inner growth.
Learn MoreAfter years of research and development, scientists successfully developed an ethically derived harvesting process, allowing a sustainable collection of starfish extract without affecting its viability.
In collaboration with mussel growers, scientists developed a sustainable process for the collection of coelomic fluid extract. Starfish play a complex role in the marine environment, mainly by regulating the population of mollusks and crustaceans. But they are also an effective predator of mussels that need to be controlled around mussel growing sites.
Routine quality control and assurance protocols are used in the selection of starfish coelomic fluid collection and handling process, to ensure that starfish populations remain stable around harvesting sites.
Our Hero Ingredient, Starfish Coelomic Extract
Through years of clinical research and innovation a mystery from the sea was unlocked. Sustainably derived, starfish coelomic extract is an amazingly powerful secret that has been utilized as a model for regenerative science for several years, but only now with the help of advanced bioengineering techniques, have we been able to isolate these incredible life reviving compounds that lend sea stars an almost immortal quality.
These compounds exhibit retinoic-acid mimicking actions. This retinol-mimetic ability will allow stressed, aging, and compromised skin to heal across all layers, reawakening youth and diminishing the signs of aging in a natural, clinically proven and safe manner without the irritation caused by conventional retinol compounds.
