Gritty
"I used to love this product but at some point they changed the formula or how it’s made. My last two have been so gritty and unpleasant to apply to my face - like they mixed in a bunch of sand. Warming it up doesn’t help. So sad!"

Why we stand behind it
Maya Chia pioneered the pressed serum category, and The Super Blend remains its most refined expression. The formula sinks in immediately on contact — with every hero ingredient backed by a named study or independent clinical data. Clinically grounded from the first drop.
Two clinically studied firming actives anchor this formula. Sweet Lupine Seed Extract, from family-farmed lupin in France, helps support Heat Shock Protein 47 — the cellular signal tied to Collagen I synthesis. In a 12-week study of volunteers aged 45 to 69, 92% reported visibly firmer skin and 72% saw improvement in facial contour sagging.
It works alongside Sepilift DPHP (Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline), a lipophilic hydroxyproline biovector well suited to an anhydrous system. Its three-part action helps encourage collagen fiber contraction, protect dermal tissue from enzymatic breakdown, and deliver antioxidant support. At 1%, it improved the appearance of wrinkles by 32% versus placebo over six weeks.
The serum's luminous amber hue comes from Astaxanthin, a rare microalgae-derived carotenoid with antioxidant strength reported at up to 65 times that of Vitamin C. It's paired with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a next-generation, oil-soluble Vitamin C ester chosen for its stability and affinity for the skin's lipid barrier. Together they help brighten, defend, and restore a more luminous complexion.
Coenzyme Q10 completes the formula, supporting cellular energy synthesis and helping reduce the appearance of visible wrinkle depth.
