Overview

Retinol-alternative renewal. Deep overnight replenishment.

As skin changes, fine lines become more pronounced, firmness declines and depleted lipids can leave skin dry, rough and less resilient.

Mārū takes a multi-action approach to visible skin ageing. Clinically studied botanical renewal works alongside skin-signalling peptides, biomimetic barrier technology and concentrated antioxidants to target wrinkles, uneven tone and loss of firmness — while deeply replenishing changing skin.

At its heart, bakuchiol delivers retinol-like renewal benefits, complemented by Pal-GHK peptide technology to support collagen-associated skin renewal.

Our Biomimetic Barrier Complex combines skin-identical ceramides and replenishing lipids to rebuild barrier support, reinforce moisture retention and restore skin suppleness.

A concentrated 5.6% Vitamin E System, supported by Totarol, completes the treatment with intensive antioxidant care.

Richly replenishing, with the refined finish of a sophisticated overnight oil.

Renew. Replenish. Restore. While you sleep.

TARGETS WRINKLES AND LOSS OF FIRMNESS
Bakuchiol and Pal-GHK peptide technology target visible signs of collagen decline, helping smooth wrinkles and improve the appearance of skin firmness.

REFINES UNEVEN TONE AND TEXTURE
Clinically studied botanical renewal targets pigmentation, roughness and uneven texture for a brighter, smoother-looking complexion.

REBUILDS BARRIER SUPPORT
Skin-identical ceramides and biomimetic lipids replenish essential barrier components, reinforcing moisture retention and skin resilience.

CONCENTRATED ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE
A 5.6% Vitamin E System, supported by totarol, provides intensive lipid conditioning and antioxidant protection against oxidative stress.

RESTORES SUPPLENESS TO CHANGING SKIN
A concentrated system of squalane and replenishing phyto-oils restores softness, smooths dry texture and provides lasting overnight nourishment.

For skin that's changing — and needs more than moisture.

  • Mature and changing skin experiencing fine lines, wrinkles or declining firmness.
  • Dry, lipid-depleted skin needing intensive replenishment and barrier support.
  • Dull, uneven skin affected by pigmentation, rough texture or loss of radiance.
  • Skin seeking a retinol alternative with the added benefits of peptide and lipid-replenishment technology.

Especially suited to skin that needs more overnight support than an everyday moisturiser can provide.

Apply generously to lips for hydration and comfort. Use at night for an overnight mask.

Biomimetic Barrier Complex


Replenish. Reinforce. Renew.

An advanced multi-action system combining skin-identical ceramides, biomimetic lipids and Pal-GHK peptide signalling to target three fundamental needs of changing skin.

REPLENISH — Restore essential skin lipids.
Skin-identical ceramides and complementary phytolipids rebuild the lipid components essential to a healthy moisture barrier.

REINFORCE — Strengthen barrier resilience.
A concentrated lipid system, including 18% squalane, supports barrier integrity, reduces moisture loss and restores suppleness.

RENEW — Support collagen-associated renewal.
Pal-GHK, a biomimetic skin-signalling peptide, targets pathways associated with collagen production to help improve the appearance of fine lines and firmness.

A coordinated approach to barrier restoration and visible skin renewal — designed to work with the skin's natural biology.



Concentrated antioxidant defence. Advanced lipid protection.

A high-concentration vitamin E system combining 5% tocopheryl acetate and 0.6% mixed tocopherols, complemented by totarol, a potent antioxidant associated with Aotearoa's native tōtara.

This multi-component system delivers intensive lipid conditioning and antioxidant support, helping defend against oxidative stress associated with visible skin ageing.
