About Potentci Dermal Lifting Hydrating Milk
Potentci is a unique hydrating milk that helps the skin retain moisture and powerfully repairs signs of aging, scarring and acne damage with a concentrated dermal rejuvenation complex that includes peptides and glycoproteins.
It also provides key support to Illumina by inhibiting multiple acne causing mechanisms in the skin while helping replenish lipids in the skin barrier and restoring natural enzyme function in the skin.
It is a lightweight moisturizer suitable for day and evening. Dry skins may wish to supplement with a cream, oil or balm. We recommend using Aurum for supplementation due to product synergy.
Potentci is safe for sensitive skin.
It is compatible with most serums and moisturizers and will not cause pilling.
It is to be used 1- 2x per day – in the pm and possibly in the am as well.

8 dermal protection matrices
Tri-potency peptide technology
A proprietary peptide complex especially geared towards aging, scarred and glycated skins. All relevant protein structures (including collagen and elastin) of the dermal-epidermal junction are stimulated, resulting in improved skin compactness, firmness and tonicity. The complex also stimulates dermal filling, repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin, leading to a decreased volume of coarse wrinkles and acne scars.
Inhibits collagenase
An extract of natural rice peptides protects the skin from the collagen degrading effects of collagenases induced either by UV-radiation or other skin irritants. This rice protein extract helps to delay early skin aging, characterized by degeneration of matrix proteins, wrinkle formation, reduced elasticity and skin dryness. Rice protein extract is able to block the very damaging effect of collagenases induced by sun radiation, namely the collagen breakdown.
Tetrad Hydration Complex
Properly hydrated skin heals much faster. Our multi-matrix hydration technology includes skin identical ceramides, cholesterol, saccharides, cold processed fatty acids and Pseudoalteromonas Ferment. These bacterial glycoproteins include compounds that powerfully stimulate collagen and elastin. Test results show Collagen I increased 128% in 15 days; Collagen IV increased 81% in 15 days; Elastin Levels increased 31% in 15 days.
Inhibits 5a-reductase
5a reductase is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT (a more powerful androgen). Elevated 5a reductase activity is a cause of hormonal acne. Inhibiting 5a reductase stops the negative effect of testosterone on the sebaceous follicle.
Replenishes linoleic acid
Acneic skin typically shows a linoleic fatty acid deficiency in the sebum composition. Pumpkin seed oil is high in linoleic acid and helps restore the proper balance in the skin’s sebum, making it less sticky and prone to pore-clogging.
Inhibits inflammatory mediators
Interleukin-1a is an inflammatory mediator. It has been shown to be present in high concentrations in the skin of acne sufferers. Interleukin-1a has also been shown to promote hyper keratinization, or the abnormal stickiness of dead skin cells.
Kills p.acnes bacteria
Kills both p.acnes bacteria types – type 1 and type 2. There are 2 types of p.acnes bacteria and tea tree oil only kills type 1( gram-positive), not type 2 (gram negative). Black cumin and manuka oils successfully destroy both types.
Normalizes sebum production
With proper hydration and protection, skin will naturally stop over-producing sebum. Oily skin is often an indicator of damaged or dehydrated skin trying to protect and repair itself as best as it knows how. Oily skin requires compassionate understanding, not harsh and oil-free products.

Recommended Application Method:
Pump 1-3 pumps of product onto fingertips. Gently dot finger tips onto left cheek, right cheek, chin and forehead, making sure that the first area you dot doesn’t take all the product.
Once product has been evenly divided between the 4 quadrants of the face, use both hands to massage product into the skin, working to cover the entire facial area. If there is not enough product, use 1/2 more pump where needed. If there is too much product, spread it onto neck as best as possible. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying next product.
Use 1-2x per day.
Apply after cleansing and serums and before heavy creams or oils.

My skin is dehydrated and highly acne-prone, so it’s been a delicate balance trying to find a sufficiently hydrating moisturizer that will not break me out. I tried a sample of Potenci and loved the light yet luscious hydration and potent anti-aging actives; it felt great on my skin and hydrated without causing any congestion. This is the most effective and beneficial acne-friendly moisturizer I have tried, and I recommend trying it!

I use the Revele, Illumina, and Potenci everday. I must say the star of the show is Potenci. This is my new bff!!! Best moisturizer I’ve ever used for my acne prone skin. It smells like earthy goodness. One pump is all you need. It immediately sinks into my skin. My face looks glowy, luminous, and completely hydrated. I struggle with dehydrated skin despite having oily/combo skin. I could see dehydration lines on my face. Since using this product, I no longer have that issue. It is a miracle product! I use it day and night. I can’t live without it!

Po is my favorite in the MOSS line as it absorbs quickly, doesn’t contain silicones, and seems to layer well under oil. There’s no rubbing required to encourage the product to “sink in” to the skin and works well under make-up. I have been using the line for about 12 weeks and look forward to enjoy some of the benefits of long term use.

I absolutely love Potenci!! As I entered my 40’s I noticed that my skin was dryer but I still suffered from occasional breakouts. Potenci was the most wonderful moisturizer I have used in a long time. It helped heal blemishes and provided lasting hydration all day long. I highly recommend this product.

I really wanted to see if Potentci alone would be enough of a moisturizer. My skin can be dehydrated, so I usually add a lotion or cream after a serum. I decided to use Potentci at night after cleansing with Revele. When I woke up, I was blown away. My skin looked soft and clear, with no real dryness that I could feel or see. Best of all, my sensitive skin was not at all irritated.
Potenci is concentrated, so you only need to use a small amount. I highly recommend Potentci.
