Our top OneSkin questions from our readers, answered
How long does it take to see results from OneSkin?
Nick tracked the changes in his face over 6 and 12 months. He saw the most significant improvements after 6 months. Data from scientific studies conducted by OneSkin showed improvements in skin after just 3 months (12 weeks). Read more about how much OneSkin OS-01 FACE he used, when he applied it and more in this documented self-experiment.
What is OS-01 Peptide? What peptide is in OneSkin?
Peptides are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. If they are the right shape and size, they can have power effects on the body. The OS-01 peptide is a patented peptide discovered by OneSkin which turns on the repair mechanisms of skin, to slow the aging of or even improve the biological age of the skin. Learn more here.

How long does OneSkin last?
Nick reports that with twice daily application of his entire face (2 pumps) OS-01 FACE lasted 8-10 weeks. OS-01 EYE at once daily application lasted approximately 8 weeks. OS-01 SHIELD sunscreen at 1-2x daily use lasted Nick over 3 months.
Can you use OS-01 with retinol? OS-01 versus retinol?
In our experience, you can suspend use of retinol altogether and invest your budget fully in OS-01 FACE and EYE. This is what Nick now does and his facial age is younger than ever. Retinol works by accelerating skin turnover by intentionally damaging the skin barrier. One of the OS-01 peptide’s primary benefits is to strengthen this skin barrier. We see these two mechanisms to be at odds with one another. Though not everyone will agree with us!

Can you use other products with OneSkin? Adding it to your routine
As discussed above, we don’t think retinol pairs well with OS-01 products and you can invest your retinol budget into OS-01 instead. According to testing done by OneSkin, there are no adverse reactions with any other major ingredients (Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, retinol). Read more about integrating OS-01 products into your routine here.
Nicks has successfully integrated the OneTruth 818 product into his skincare routine along with OS-01 and the two technologies seem to compliment one another well.
Three short videos about OneSkin Os-01
OneSkin are pioneers in a new era of skin aging research. From their laboratory in San Francisco, they are advancing our understanding of how our skin ages and what we can do about it.
These are excerpts from our longevity tech interview with OneSkin CSO and Co-Founder Alessandra Zonari. Here we explored their unique technological approach to preventing and repairing UV damage (the main cause of skin aging).
