The Science of Lapachol

Using exclusive ingredient technology, our clinically proven, evidence-based formulas support the skin's natural repair process.

HOW LAPACHOL WORKS

Lapachol is the only patented ingredient that targets your skin's DNA repair pathway at the cellular level— inhibiting the CUL4A protein, a ubiquitin ligase which manages cell repair, but can rush the replication process. Lapachol slows down this process, addressing damage at the source.

Three circular illustrated panels with blue text explain skin DNA repair: damaged skin DNA unfolds to repair itself, the body produces proteins to quickly repair DNA, and replication is slowed by Lapachol for more accurate DNA repair.

BEFORE LAPACHOL

Two damaging processes accelerate
skin aging and compromise healing:

1. Cell Replication Errors

Damage and environmental stress lead to uneven tone, texture issues, and accelerated aging.

2. Chronic Inflammation

CUL4A drives cells to replicate faster than they can repair, sustaining inflammation—prolonging redness and delaying recovery.

AFTER LAPACHOL

Lapachol inhibits CUL4A, cutting off
both damaging processes:

✓ Repairs DNA Damage

Lapachol allows your cells to slow down replication to identify and repair damaged DNA.

✓ Resolves Inflammation

Lapachol restores the replication and repair balance, eliminating the cellular stressors that drive inflammation at its source.

WHAT A BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST SEES IN THE SCIENCE

Dr. Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, on what sets a DNA-level approach apart form conventional skincare.

Most skincare ingredients work at the surface. Dr. Garshick explains why that distinction matters—and what it means to patients when a formula addresses cellular repair at the source rather than managing symptoms at the surface.
