Our first SPF, OS-01 SHIELD, is finally here – leaving many people wondering if it should replace OS-01 FACE in their morning ritual. While OS-01 SHIELD contains the same concentration of the OS-01 peptide as OS-01 FACE, there are some compelling scientific reasons to use both in your morning routine. Ready to check out the data? Let’s explore why using the two formulas together reduces pro-aging biomarkers more efficiently.

Let’s explore why using the two formulas together reduces pro-aging biomarkers more efficiently.
01
OS-01 FACE Delivers More Peptide to the Skin than OS-01 SHIELD
While both formulas contain the same concentration of the OS-01 peptide, OS-01 SHIELD delivers less peptide compared to OS-01 FACE. That’s because OS-01 SHIELD contains zinc oxide–our preferred UV filter–which creates a physical barrier on the surface of the skin. While this barrier does the important work of protecting your skin against UV radiation, it also prevents the OS-01 peptide from penetrating to its maximum potential. This means that if you were to replace OS-01 FACE with OS-01 SHIELD in your morning routine, your skin would be getting less OS-01 peptide in the morning. By using the two together, your skin gets the benefits of more OS-01 peptide, plus the moisturizing benefits of OS-01 FACE and the sun protective benefits of OS-01 SHIELD.

Using OS-01 SHIELD & OS-01 FACE Together Enhances the Effects of the OS-01 peptide
Given that OS-01 SHIELD allows for less peptide penetration, you might be wondering which one you should use. On this, the science is clear. Using both OS-01 FACE and OS-01 SHIELD together enhances the effects of the OS-01 peptide, giving your skin more of its age-reversing benefits. Our scientists exposed ex vivo human skin samples to no treatment (NT), OS-01 SHIELD alone, or OS-01 FACE and OS-01 SHIELD, then measured the activity of pro-aging biomarkers (P16 and IL-8). They found that the combination of OS-01 FACE and OS-01 SHIELD decreased pro-aging biomarkers significantly more than OS-01 SHIELD alone. To maximize both UV protection and OS-01 delivery, we recommend layering both products in your AM skin care routine.

The expression of biomarkers associated with aging, P16 and IL-8, were measured on ex vivo human skin samples before treatement and after treatment with OS-01 FACE alone, or OS-01 FACE then OS-01 SHIELD.

Key Takeaways:
- OS-01 SHIELD and OS-01 FACE should be layered together in your morning routine for maximum benefit of the OS-01 peptide.
- Both formulas contain the same concentration of the OS-01 peptide. However, because OS-01 SHIELD contains UV filter zinc oxide, it delivers less peptide to the skin.
- By using the two together, you get the benefits of more OS-01 peptide, not less.
- In lab tests, combining both formulas was shown to decrease pro-aging biomarkers significantly more than OS-01 SHIELD alone.
- Use OS-01 SHIELD after OS-01 FACE as the last step in your morning routine before makeup.
