The Benefits
CAG-pH4™ reawakens the skin’s renewal rhythm, encouraging visible clarity and collagen support beneath the surface. A blend of coconut, jojoba, and olive oils reinforces the barrier and envelopes the skin in lasting moisture, while shea butter smooths dry patches and softens uneven texture. Calendula and aloe calm visible reactivity, easing redness, sensitivity, and surface imbalance.

The Feel
Rich and smooth, the texture glides on easily—melting into the skin without heaviness. Designed to adapt, it can be applied lightly or layered generously like a mask for deeper hydration and barrier support.

The Science
The Puriste System is built on three quietly powerful technologies: CAG-pH4™, a glycolic complex tuned to the skin’s natural rhythm of renewal; The Single-Dose Barrier System™, inspired by the precision of dermatological prescriptions; and Irritant-Free Chemistry™, formulated to calm, not challenge, sensitive skin.
One nightly dose delivered gently, and deliberately.

PURISTE SCIENCE EXPLAINED
-
CAG-pH4™
CAG-pH4™ is a clinically calibrated glycolic compound delivered at pH 4.0—designed to activate collagen, accelerate cell turnover, and visibly renew skin. Unlike buffered formulas, it maintains the acidic environment needed to trigger fibroblast stimulation and structural repair.
-
Single-Dose Barrier System™
Dr. Sylvia Garnis-Jones designed the Single-Dose Barrier System™ to deliver one clinically precise application—no layering, no excess. With biomimetic lipids that support the skin’s natural barrier, it restores, protects, and rebalances—night after night.

Irritant-Free Chemistry
Made for sensitive, reactive, and allergy-prone skin, this cream leaves out every known disruptor—no fragrance, no dyes, no essential oils, no drying alcohols, no harsh preservatives. It’s not just clean—it’s clinically intentional. Just what skin needs to feel safe enough to change.

How To Use
INSTRUCTIONS
Using clean fingertips, gently massage the cream into the skin, working from the forehead downwards towards the neck. For best absorption, apply to slightly damp skin following cleansing.
DOSAGE
Use 3–4 nickel-sized amounts nightly for optimal results. May also be used every other night or as a weekly treatment.
FOR A PEEL-LIKE EFFECT
After a warm shower or facial steam, apply a generous layer to the skin. Leave on for 2 minutes, then gently wipe away any excess product. Follow with your usual skincare routine.
“I used to buy many different products. Now I just use this at night and a sunscreen in the morning and now I get more compliments on my skin then I ever did before.”
“This feels like medicine for your face. Not in a harsh, clinical way — in a finally-something-that-works way. My skin looks healthier, not just better.”
“Most creams sit on top of my skin. This one treats it. It’s like someone finally formulated skincare the way a doctor would — not a big corporate marketer.”
“I’ve spent more than this on serums that only hydrate or creams that exfoliate a little. This does it all. My skin looks like I’ve had a facial peel without the downtime. I get the hype now.”
"My skin has always been very reactive to skincare products. I literally tried every "dermatologist recommended" product you can find at a drugstore with no luck. As a result, I came to Dr. Garnis-Jones for a skin allergy test. After I received my results, she recommended her cream that was completely free of any of the allergens we discovered on the test, which was shockingly untrue for most other products I had tried. I thought there was no way my skin would tolerate an 8% glycolic acid, but it did and it even cleared some of the red scaling patches around my eyebrows. It feels like medicine for your skin!
