What PowerV supports
Gentle does not mean it does nothing. Here is what the actives are studied to support, at the level of how skin looks. Figures describe the ingredients in their own studies, not the finished product.
reduced crow's feet wrinkle depth (PhytoCellTec Argan)
increase in skin density, measured by ultrasound (PhytoCellTec Argan)
increase in skin hydration (MossCellTec No.1, 2 weeks)
reduction in transepidermal water loss, TEWL (MossCellTec No.1)
of participants showed improved skin barrier function (MossCellTec No.1)
reduction in nasolabial fold depth (PhytoCellTec Argan, 12 weeks)
Astaxanthin: up to 6,000x vitamin C
The red microalgae antioxidant PowerV is built on. In lab free-radical tests it quenched singlet oxygen far more powerfully than vitamin C, which is how it defends the look of skin without any sting.

Defend. Renew. Seal.
Three jobs, one bottle. This is the whole philosophy of PowerV in one view.
A red microalgae antioxidant, up to 6,000x vitamin C in lab singlet-oxygen tests, shields the look of skin from daily oxidative stress.
PhytoCellTec Argan and MossCellTec No.1 support the look of firmness, density and a smoother, more even tone.
Three ceramides with cholesterol, phytosphingosine, beta-glucan and squalane replenish the skin's own lipids to lock in moisture.
A stronger barrier, visibly calmer skin
Most products strip the skin barrier with harsh actives. PowerV does the opposite: it replenishes the lipids your barrier is built from, so skin holds moisture and looks calmer.
Your skin, week by week
A rough timeline based on the ingredient studies behind PowerV. These describe the actives in their own trials, not the finished product, and refer to how skin looks. Individual results vary.
MossCellTec No.1: up to 17.5% more hydration, up to 20% less water loss, 91% of participants with improved barrier function.
PhytoCellTec Argan: up to 12.7% more skin density by ultrasound, up to 26.2% less crow's feet wrinkle depth.
PhytoCellTec Argan: 13.1% reduction in nasolabial fold depth, smoother mid-face appearance.
Why PowerV is unlike other serums
Most stem cell serums use a single active. PowerV pairs PhytoCellTec Argan (for the look of firmness and density) with MossCellTec No.1 (for hydration and barrier resilience), two patented Mibelle actives at $89, a tier usually reserved for $300+ creams.
Instead of retinol or acids, it defends with astaxanthin, an antioxidant that in lab tests quenched free radicals up to about 6,000 times more effectively than vitamin C. Serious defense, no peeling.
Three ceramides with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, an unusually complete, skin-identical lipid set in a single serum, so the barrier gets sealed while the actives work.
A registered DOI patch test on 52 people with sensitive skin, a public ingredient list, and verified reviews. We say clinically tested, never clinically proven.
Everything PowerV is, and is not
One gentle serum that replaces an antioxidant, a barrier step and a firming step. Everything it promises, and everything it leaves out.
What is inside, and what the studies show
Every active, its INCI name, where it comes from, and the ingredient-level data behind it. All figures describe the ingredients in their own studies, not the finished PowerV product, and refer to the look of skin.
PhytoCellTec Argan
INCI: Argania Spinosa Sprout Cell Extract
Patented plant stem cell active from the argan tree, grown by Mibelle Biochemistry using a UN Rio+20 recognized sustainable lab method, so no wild argan forests are touched.
- Studied in vitro for protecting and vitalizing human dermal stem cells, the cells behind the skin's deeper support structure.
- In Mibelle's clinical study, a cream with the active reduced the look of crow's feet wrinkle depth by about 26% over eight weeks.
- Associated with the look of increased skin firmness and density.

MossCellTec No.1
INCI: Physcomitrella Patens Callus Culture Extract
Patented active from resilient Physcomitrella patens moss, made by sustainable tissue culture. Four-time innovation award winner, COSMOS and NATRUE approved.
- In a placebo-controlled clinical study, 2% of the active significantly improved skin hydration, barrier function and tone homogeneity after just two weeks.
- Studied for helping skin adapt to climatic changes and daily environmental stress, for more resilient-looking skin.
- Built around cell-nucleus-health, a novel resilience concept from Mibelle.

Topical Astaxanthin
INCI: Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract
A deep red antioxidant from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, one of the most studied antioxidants in skincare.
- In lab free-radical testing, astaxanthin quenched singlet oxygen up to about 6,000 times more effectively than vitamin C (Nishida et al.).
- Helps defend the look of skin against the daily oxidative stress that drives visible aging.
- Fragrance free and non-exfoliating, so it suits reactive skin.
Lab antioxidant comparison describes the astaxanthin ingredient, not a finished-product claim.
Ceramide Complex + Cholesterol + Phytosphingosine
INCI: Ceramide NP, AP, EOP, Cholesterol, Phytosphingosine
A near-complete set of skin-identical barrier lipids, the same building blocks your skin uses in its own outer layer.
- Three ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, an unusually full lipid set for a single serum.
- Support the skin barrier's ability to hold moisture and feel comfortable.
- Skin-identical, so they are well tolerated by sensitive skin.
Ingredient-level description of the barrier lipids in the formula.
Beta-Glucan + Panthenol
INCI: Beta-Glucan, Panthenol
Two gentle, well-established comfort ingredients.
- Beta-glucan is a soothing humectant that helps skin feel calm and hydrated.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is a classic soothing, moisturizing ingredient.
- Both are staples in sensitive-skin formulation.
Ingredient-level description.
Hemisqualane
INCI: C13-15 Alkane
A lightweight, sugarcane-derived squalane-type emollient.
- Gives a fast-absorbing, non-greasy slip reviewers describe as smooth, never sticky.
- Non-pore-clogging and biodegradable.
- Helps the serum spread evenly and sink in quickly.
Ingredient-level description.

PowerV, frequently asked
What is The New Skincare by PowerV?+
It is a $89, 30 mL anti-aging antioxidant barrier serum for sensitive skin, built on two patented plant stem cells (PhytoCellTec Argan and MossCellTec No.1 from Mibelle Biochemistry) and topical astaxanthin, with a ceramide complex, beta-glucan and panthenol. No added fragrance, no retinol, no harsh exfoliating acids.
Is PowerV good for sensitive skin?+
Yes. It has no added fragrance, no retinol and no harsh exfoliating acids, and is dermatologist tested. In an independent patch test, 100% of 52 people with sensitive skin showed zero irritation. Skin is individual, so patch test first.
What are PhytoCellTec Argan and MossCellTec No.1?+
Two patented plant stem cell actives from Mibelle Biochemistry. PhytoCellTec Argan, from argan tree stem cells, was studied for supporting the look of firmness and density, with a Mibelle clinical study showing about 26% reduced look of crow's feet wrinkle depth over eight weeks. MossCellTec No.1, from a resilient moss, significantly improved skin hydration, barrier and tone homogeneity after two weeks in a placebo-controlled study. Those figures describe the ingredients, not the finished product.
Does PowerV contain acids or fragrance?+
It has no added fragrance and no harsh exfoliating acids like glycolic or salicylic. The formula includes gluconolactone, a gentle polyhydroxy acid used at a low level, which is far milder than exfoliating acids and is why it stays suited to sensitive skin.
Is PowerV a good retinol alternative?+
Yes, for people who find retinol too harsh. It supports the look of firmness with plant stem cells and astaxanthin instead of retinoids or strong acids, so there is no peeling or sting.
How and when do I use it?+
Apply one to two pumps to clean skin, once or twice a day, then moisturizer and SPF in the morning. It absorbs quickly and layers well under makeup. Patch test first if your skin is reactive.
How long does one bottle last?+
A 30 mL bottle used once daily lasts about two months, roughly $1.50 a day.
Is it vegan and cruelty free?+
Yes. PowerV is vegan and cruelty free, with no animal ingredients and no animal testing, and it is made with non-pore-clogging ingredients.
What results can I expect, and how soon?+
Comfort and hydration can show quickly. Appearance changes, skin looking more even, firmer and more refreshed, build gradually over weeks of consistent use. Results are cosmetic and vary by person.
Where can I buy it and see reviews?+
Right here at powervskin.com, and on Amazon, where reviews come from verified purchases. Verified reviews also appear on Trustpilot.
Gentle enough to keep using.
Serious enough to matter.
One bottle, one step: defend with astaxanthin, renew the look of firmness with two patented plant stem cells, seal the barrier with a full lipid set. $89 for 30 mL, about $1.50 a day.

What can I say except it works! This is going to be a Holy Grail for me.
Hi there! We're so happy to hear that our serum has become a Holy Grail for you. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I’ve been using this serum for a bit now and honestly, I like it. It goes on smooth, not heavy or greasy, and my skin absorbs it pretty quickly.I have melanated skin, and it’s been working well for me—no irritation or weird reactions. After using it, my skin just feels more hydrated and looks a little more refreshed. Nothing over the top, just a solid product that does what it’s supposed to.Plus it’s Vegan!
Hi there! We're so glad to hear you love the serum and that it works well for your skin. Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing PowerV. We appreciate your support!

Amazing
This serum is a bit on the watery side, you can hear it when you shake the bottle. I believe this product is fragrance free but there will be a light smell from the mix of ingredients, almost sour, a little similar to what a vitamin c serum would smell like. However, the smell won't linger on too long especially after applying on to your face. I was honestly VERY pleasantly surprised at how this dries. It doesn't feel sticky or tacky, my face feels soft after use. Looking at the ingredients list I'm happy with what I see - no added fragrance, no silicones, no added colorants. It is too soon to tell what it does for wrinkles and lines but I never really get skincare products thinking it will do much to erase those things unless you are using it on a very long term basis. I hope it is working its magic since this is a pricey bottle of stem cell serum but I can't speak on the results right now. Moisturizing, it sure is.I do agree with a few people that say the packaging and bottle leaves a little be desired for a high price point, as it doesn't have a really luxe look that we're all used to seeing these days even if the product inside doesn't reflect the quality of the packaging. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because I like the ingredients list and also upon doing more research behind this brand, there seems to be real people especially the founder who seems to be passionate about creating a great serum. That said, it seems like they are upgrading their packaging based on feedback, which again shows that they are willing to adjust and improve based on consumers, which is a great thing.I don't know if the ingredients list posted on this Amazon is the correct one but I got the version from the box, posted below if you want to see what's in this stuff before purchase.Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Lecithin, C13-15 Alkane, Beta-Glucan, Gluconolactone, Propanediol, Isomalt, Panthenol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Argania Spinosa Callus Culture Extract, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP. Ceramide cot, raytosphin gosine, Cholesterol, Xanthan Gum, Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Lecithin, Phytol, Carbomer.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review. We're glad to hear you appreciate the lightweight feel and ingredient list of our serum. Your feedback on packaging is valuable, and we're working on improvements. We hope it continues to support your skincare routine and look forward to hearing more about your results. Thanks again for your support!
My skin feels so soft and hydrated after each use. Definitely enjoying this product!
