Citation’s Microceutical Complex™ is a proprietary skin health system designed to restore homeostasis across the skin barrier, microbiome, and immune signaling pathways. By integrating postbiotic ferments, bioactive lipids, next generation PDRN and precision hydrators, the complex reinforces stratum corneum integrity, modulates inflammatory mediators, and supports microbial diversity, all key factors in preventing barrier disruption, oxidative stress, and microbiome and immune dysregulation. This multi-layered approach addresses both the physical and biochemical needs of the skin, enhancing resilience, reducing reactivity, and promoting optimal epidermal function across all skin types and conditions.

Citiation Proprietary Complex

Each Citation formula is driven by a proprietary complex of three bioactive compounds selected for their clinically demonstrated effects on epidermal renewal, dermal communication, and immune regulation.

  • ALGAKTIV® BioSKN is a cell-wall-derived microalgae extract engineered to mimic and outperform epidermal growth factor (EGF) in promoting keratinocyte proliferation and migration. It enhances skin regeneration by upregulating TGF-α and DKK-1, while simultaneously exhibiting selective prebiotic activity encouraging the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis, a keystone commensal essential for immune modulation and barrier integrity.
  • Antarcticine® is a glycoprotein sourced from Pseudoalteromonas antarctica with cryoprotective properties. It reduces transepidermal water loss, improves skin elasticity, and stimulates fibroblast synthesis of type I collagen and elastin, resulting in visible wrinkle reduction and increased dermal density.
  • Lacto-PDRN, a DNA fragment isolated from Lactobacillus rhamnosus, functions as a biological modulator of repair and proliferation. Through purinergic receptor activation, it supports angiogenesis, fibroblast activity, and epidermal remodeling, while also contributing to the resolution of chronic inflammation.

This trio acts synergistically to restore cutaneous homeostasis regenerating structural proteins, enhancing microbial diversity, and re-establishing effective cellular cross-talk between the epidermis and dermis.

Our Collections

The Cleanse & Calm Collection is a dual-action cleansing ritual designed to respect and restore the skin’s natural balance. Featuring both a water-based and an oil-based cleanser, this collection gently yet effectively removes impurities, excess oil, sunscreen, and makeup without compromising the skin barrier or microbiome. The oil cleanser melts away buildup while nourishing and softening the skin, while the water-based cleanser offers a soothing second cleanse to calm, hydrate, and refresh. Together, they create a complete, microbiome-friendly cleansing system that supports skin health, reduces inflammation, and leaves your complexion clean, calm, and resilient.

Cleanse and Calm

The Regulate & Restore range is a targeted duo of intensive moisturiser and serum, designed to rebalance, repair, and strengthen sensitive or disrupted skin. Formulated with barrier-repairing lipids, bioactive ferments, and advanced biotech ingredients, this range works synergistically to regulate the skin’s immune response and support microbiome diversity. The serum delivers concentrated actives to calm inflammation and boost resilience, while the moisturiser locks in hydration and reinforces the skin’s structural integrity. Ideal for skin prone to dryness, reactivity, or environmental stress, Regulate & Restore helps rebuild a healthier, more balanced complexion from within.

Regulate and Restore Collection

The Glow & Replenish Collection pairs a nutrient-rich facial oil with a stable, skin-brightening vitamin C to deliver radiance, hydration, and antioxidant defense. This duo works in harmony to replenish the skin’s lipid barrier while targeting dullness, uneven tone, and oxidative stress. The facial oil is infused with bioactive lipids, botanical extracts, and microbiome-supporting ferments to deeply nourish and restore glow, while the vitamin C serum promotes collagen synthesis and a visibly brighter, more even complexion. Together, they create a powerful yet gentle routine for luminous, resilient skin.
