Protect & Repair Duo
VITA-CE Radiance Serum + Youth Code System
Both directions of skin health in one set: VITA-CE neutralizes environmental damage before it breaks down collagen, while Youth Code actively rebuilds it with growth factors and peptides.

Best for
All skin types targeting firmness, tone and early aging — and anyone protecting in-clinic results. If you only run two actives, our providers would pick these two.
How to use
Morning: apply 4–5 drops of VITA-CE to clean, dry skin; once absorbed, follow with Youth Code, then SPF. Evening: cleanse, then apply Youth Code before moisturizer. That's the whole system.
Key ingredients
VITA-CE: L-Ascorbic Acid 15%, Ferulic Acid 0.5%, Vitamin E 1%, Octapeptide Complex. Youth Code: 540 human-derived growth factors, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, THD Ascorbate, Squalane, CoQ10.
Full ingredients (INCI)
Each product's complete INCI list is published on its individual product page — Luminous Cleanser, VITA-CE Radiance Serum, Youth Code System, Midnight Reset Complex and Glow Reset Pads each carry a full ingredients accordion. Nothing hidden, ever.
Shipping & returns
Ships Canada-wide from Ottawa; free over $150. In-clinic pickup at 2035 Lanthier Dr #1, Orléans. See our refund policy for returns — or just ask us; a human answers.
What's inside, and what it does
- VITA-CE Radiance Serum · $132
- Your AM shield: 15% L-ascorbic acid stabilized by ferulic acid — brightens, evens tone, and defends collagen from daily oxidative damage.
- Youth Code System · $158
- Your repair engine: 540 human-derived growth factors + peptides signal skin to rebuild firmness, morning and night.
Protection without repair is maintenance. Repair without protection is a leak.
Why single-product routines stall
- Antioxidant serums defend the collagen you have — but defense alone never rebuilds what's already lost.
- Repair creams rebuild — but unprotected daily UV and pollution damage undoes their work in real time.
- Buying actives one at a time usually means a drawer of half-finished products with no system connecting them.
Why this pairing works
- Defense + rebuild running simultaneously: VITA-CE guards by day while Youth Code repairs around the clock.
- The exact two-product system our providers recommend for post-treatment clients — chosen to work as one.
- One decision, one set, one routine — and it costs less than buying both separately.

How to use it in your ritual
Start clean, morning and night — Luminous Cleanser if you have it.
4–5 drops of VITA-CE on dry skin. Let it absorb fully — about a minute.
Smooth Youth Code over face and targeted areas, then moisturizer — and SPF every morning.
Where Protect & Repair Duo fits
The Results Trio
Add overnight correction: the same duo plus Midnight Reset, our next-gen retinoid — full AM and PM active coverage.
Before you add to cart
What order do I apply them in?
Morning: VITA-CE first (thinnest, most acidic), let it absorb, then Youth Code, then SPF. Evening: just Youth Code after cleansing. Thin-to-thick is the whole rule.
Is this duo right for beginners?
Yes — neither product is a retinoid, so there's no adjustment period. It's the gentlest way to run a genuinely clinical routine. Sensitive skin can start VITA-CE every other morning.
Can I add my own moisturizer and SPF?
Absolutely — apply moisturizer after Youth Code, and broad-spectrum SPF every morning. SPF is the third teammate this duo assumes.
How long will the set last?
About two months with twice-daily use of Youth Code and daily VITA-CE — both are concentrated formulas measured in drops and pumps, not scoops.
Can I use it after microneedling or peels?
That's exactly when this duo shines — it's our most-recommended post-treatment pairing. Your provider will confirm restart timing at your visit.
Is it a good gift?
One of our best — it's the 'serious skincare starter kit.' Add a gift card for a consultation and you've given someone their whole routine, matched by a professional.
