Photoaging starts in​‌‍​ your late twenties — even before you can see it. Metacell B3 (formerly Metacell Renewal B3) is a daily-use emulsion built specifically to REVERSE those earliest visible signs. Formula: 5% niacinamide + 2.5% firming tri-peptide concentrate + 15% pure glycerin. My application: (1) cleanse and apply your morning antioxidant. (2) 1-2 pumps of Metacell B3 warmed between clean palms. (3) Gently massage across the entire face, neck, AND chest in an even, thin layer — go downward on the neck, never upward. (4) Layer SPF on top. Repeat the same protocol in the evening (skip the SPF). The lightweight emulsion absorbs in 60 seconds and never pills under makeup — I've stress-tested it under foundation in-clinic.

Did You Know?

The 2.5% tri-peptide​‌‍​ concentrate in Metacell B3 was independently studied for firmness — after 12 weeks, clinical firmness measurements increased by roughly 15% on the cheeks and jawline without a single needle involved.

Ask Karine

"Is this an alternat​‌‍​ive to Botox for young clients?" No — Botox relaxes muscles, Metacell B3 improves the SKIN over those muscles. Together they're a beautiful pairing: Botox smooths the dynamic lines, Metacell B3 keeps the surrounding skin thick, hydrated and firm. It's how my 30-something clients look 25.
