For

the one who glows through exhaustion

Burnout shifts your skin’s biology. As you recover, it needs more than time — it needs signals of safety, and a reason to glow again.

The Burnout You Can Feel — and See

You’ve been running on cortisol.
Caffeine and willpower.
Screens and stress.
Your mind adapts.
Your body adjusts.

But your skin?

It lags behind.

Adrenal Fatigue Doesn’t Just Live in the Body

The state often referred to as “adrenal fatigue” — the functional depletion from chronic stress — affects far more than your energy levels. It disrupts hormonal rhythms, compromises immune function, and dysregulates inflammatory responses.

Your skin is one of the first places this shows.

  • Slower cellular repair

  • Increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL)

  • Breakdown of the skin barrier’s lipid matrix

  • Heightened sensitivity to environmental stressors

In short? Your skin becomes less resilient.
It stops bouncing back.

The Skin Barrier Is a Mirror of Your Inner Resilience

The outermost layer of your skin — the stratum corneum — doesn’t just protect you from pollution and pathogens. It reflects your internal stress status.

Burnout depletes the lipids, ceramides, and signaling molecules that keep this barrier strong.

Enter: Neurocosmetic Science and Quorum Sensing

Visage Crème Caviar was designed to work at this interface — where science meets skin sensitivity.

It contains two powerful, burnout-responsive technologies:

Neurocosmetic Molecules

  • Hexapeptide-8: A biomimetic peptide that mimics the body’s natural neurotransmitters, helping relax facial tension and soothe overstimulated skin.

  • Tetrapeptide-7: Modulates the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing skin reactivity over time1.

These peptides help retrain the skin’s stress response — not just hydrate, but recalibrate.

Quorum Sensing Support

This is the skin’s version of cellular communication.
Crème Caviar uses glyceryl glucoside, a quorum-sensing activator, to:

  • Strengthen the skin’s microbiome integrity

  • Improve resilience to external stress

  • Promote adaptive regeneration

When to Reach for Visage Crème Caviar

  • Your reflection looks tight, reactive, or depleted

  • Other creams just sit on top — this one melts in

  • You’re healing from hustle. Not racing to repair — just beginning to restore

Begin Again — At the Barrier

You’ve rebuilt your mindset.
Let your skin catch up.

Visage Crème Caviar isn't a quick fix.
It's quiet skincare for the woman who's finally listening to her body — and wants her skin to reflect that wisdom.
