How it works
THE PILL is made with potent topical active ingredients, including a blend of four humectants (ingredients that can draw moisture from their surroundings into the skin): hyaluronic acid, glycerin, galactoarabinan and sodium PCA. Each works together to deeply hydrate the skin, plumping and smoothing fine lines while repairing the skin’s lipid barrier in the long-term.
There are 6 AHAs in THE PILL, derived from various natural sources like passion fruit and sugar cane. They gently exfoliate the skin by dissolving the bonds between skin cells, ungluing and lifting away the dead cells to reveal smoother, fresher, brighter skin underneath. The complex of AHAs in THE PILL have been shown to increase cellular renewal by up to 24%.
Inflammation is the root cause of nearly all skin issues, from external aggressors to breaking down the skin’s lipid barrier. THE PILL is fortified with ingredients to repair and strengthen layers of the skin. Liquorice root and grape seed extracts soothe and calm inflammation, while caffeine causes the blood vessels on the surface of the skin to contract, instantly reducing puffiness.
Studies show hyaluronic acid can significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity in 6 to 8 weeks. Popular Korean beauty ingredient tiger grass is also said to have elasticity-boosting benefits, helping to stimulate collagen synthesis which improves skin firmness and plumpness with long-term use.

THE HEALTHY SKIN ROUTINE
All of our products are designed to work together to preserve the health of your skin long-term.
BARRIER CULTURE CLEANSER
Double cleanses in one non-stripping gel formula. A pre-, pro- and postbiotic face wash.
BODY
Your skin is the body’s largest organ, a signaller for changes inside and outside of the body. Known as “the mirror to the gut”, it’s also a reflection of your internal health, and of the trillions of bacteria that make up your body’s microbiome, 26% live in the gut, while 21% live on your skin. Because THE PILL is made using a high percentage of active ingredients, we wanted to remove anything non-functional that could sensitise the skin. That’s why this formula is 100% fragrance free. Some describe THE PILL’s scent as slightly tangy or fermented, which is from radish root ferment filtrate: a natural preservative that balances the pH of the product without irritating skin.
PEOPLE
Every ingredient in THE PILL has been sourced ethically and sustainably, and is produced by GMP certified manufacturers. Wherever possible we use organic ingredients, not only because organic foods are proven to be more nutrient-rich, but also because we want to support sustainable farming and clean soil worldwide. 1% of each sale is donated to charity: water, providing safe drinking water to communities around the world through 1% for the Planet.
PLANET
Multi-step skincare routines contribute to 95 billion units of cosmetic packaging. Using too many products can cause stress to the skin and create waste for the environment. We wanted to rethink our routine by leading with a universal, preventative approach, rather than a symptom-lead one. THE PILL contains all the active ingredients your skin needs, cutting down on skincare steps to benefit us and the planet. It’s housed in an infinitely recyclable glass bottle, is printed with non-toxic, organic ceramic ink and comes in a paper box, which is Green Seal Certified, FSC Certified and manufactured with 100% renewable energy.
FAQs
Yes, we would recommend using an SPF as this formula contains AHAs, which can cause sensitivity to the sun.
We would recommend using THE PILL in the morning or evening, not both. For best results, try using it in the morning to see results in as little as 3 minutes.
THE PILL contains a number of active ingredients alongside skin soothing extracts, so it is formulated to deliver results fast, without irritating the skin. If your skin is very reactive, we’d recommend doing a patch test before use.
THE PILL is designed to deliver everything your skin needs in a single daily dose using a high number of active ingredients, so we’d recommend avoiding retinols (or retinoids) and AHA-based products.
