Best for
Combo, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin. Anyone targeting loss of firmness, fine lines and dull tone — and especially clients recovering from in-clinic treatments (microneedling, peels), where growth factors support the skin's own repair.
How to use
Apply to clean skin morning and evening, before moisturizer. Smooth over face and other targeted areas, avoiding the eye area, and allow to absorb before layering. Can be used twice daily or as directed by your Luma provider.
Key ingredients

THD Ascorbate — stable, oil-soluble vitamin C. Squalane — barrier support. CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) — cell-energizing antioxidant.

Results from studies of the formula's key active complex. Individual results vary.
What's inside, and what it does
- Human Growth Factors
- Signal skin cells to regenerate and rebuild — the biological language of repair, concentrated.
- Peptide Complex
- Improves firmness and visible elasticity by supporting the skin's structural proteins.
- Squalane
- Restores moisture and strengthens the barrier — so actives work without irritation.
- CoQ10 (Ubiquinone)
- Cell-energizing antioxidant protection against daily environmental stress.
Most "anti-aging" creams moisturize. This one signals.
Why most creams disappoint
- They hydrate the surface — which looks good for hours, not weeks — while doing nothing about the collagen you're losing underneath.
- "Anti-aging" blends use trace amounts of trendy actives at concentrations too low to matter.
- After clinic treatments, ordinary creams sit on healing skin without supporting the repair happening below.
How Youth Code works differently
- 540 human-derived growth factors deliver the same signals your skin uses to repair itself — regeneration, not decoration.
- Clinical peptide + stable vitamin C concentrations chosen by our providers, who watch this formula perform on real Ottawa skin every week.
- Designed for post-treatment recovery: it's the cream our own clinic reaches for after microneedling and peels.

How to use it in your ritual

Apply VITA-CE Radiance Serum first in the morning; let it absorb.
Smooth Youth Code over face and targeted areas, avoiding eyes. Morning and evening, before moisturizer.
Where Youth Code System fits
Protect & Repair Duo
Both directions of skin health in one set: VITA-CE neutralizes daily damage each morning, Youth Code rebuilds collagen around the clock.
Before you add to cart
What are human-derived growth factors — and are they safe?
They're signalling proteins produced by cultured human cells (adipose stromal cell and fibroblast conditioned media) — no cells are in the product, only the messengers they secrete. Growth-factor skincare has been used in clinical settings for years, and every LumaSkin formula is dispensed through our Ottawa clinic.
When will I see results?
The formula's key active complex showed visible results in 14 days in studies, with firmness and tone improving over 8–12 weeks of consistent use. Skin remodels slowly — the month-three mirror is the honest one.
Can I use Youth Code with Midnight Reset (retinoid)?
Yes — they're designed as one ritual. Use Youth Code morning and evening; apply Midnight Reset at night on retinoid nights, letting each layer absorb.
Is it suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We recommend checking with your doctor before using growth-factor products during pregnancy or breastfeeding — we're happy to suggest alternatives from the ritual in the meantime.
Can I use it right after microneedling or a peel?
That's exactly what it's designed for — supporting recovery while your skin rebuilds. Your Luma provider will confirm timing for your specific treatment.
Why buy from a clinic instead of a big retailer?
Because the people selling it to you also watch it perform. LumaSkin formulas are chosen and used by our own providers in Orléans — and if a product isn't right for your skin, we'll tell you and point you to what is.
