How do I use ELEVATE for optimal results?


Apply a small amount of ELEVATE to your face and neck morning and evening, after cleansing, BALANCE, and GLOW. Massage gently with light upward motions. Use it on its own or layer it over GLOW Advanced Peptide Serum for added hydration and firming benefits. If once daily fits your ritual better, that’s completely fine. Listen to your skin and adjust as needed.

Can I use ELEVATE with other skincare products?


Yes. ELEVATE layers seamlessly with most skincare formulas, including hydrating serums. Because peptides can be pH-sensitive, we recommend not using it at the same time as strong acids, retinoids (such as retinol, tretinoin, or tazarotene), or vitamin C. This helps prevent irritation and maintains optimal peptide performance.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. Right now, we only ship within the United States due to customs and import restrictions. Expanding internationally is part of our roadmap, and we can’t wait to make Skyetides available in more countries soon.

How do I use AWAKEN for optimal results?

Apply AWAKEN to clean, dry skin morning and evening. Using the applicator, gently glide around the eye area and allow it to absorb. Use on its own or layer within your ritual to support hydration, reduce puffiness, and refresh the eye area.

How do I use BALANCE for optimal results?

Apply BALANCE morning and evening after cleansing. Gently press into the face and neck until absorbed, then follow with serum and moisturizer. It can be layered to build hydration or used between steps to enhance absorption and overall performance.

How do I use CLARIFY for optimal results?

Apply CLARIFY to damp skin morning and evening. Massage gently into a soft lather across the face and neck, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with BALANCE and the rest of your ritual. Consistent use helps keep your complexion clean, fresh, and comfortable.

How do I use DEFEND for optimal results?

Shake well before use. Mist DEFEND evenly over the face and neck as the final step of your morning ritual, or throughout the day whenever skin needs hydration. Allow it to dry naturally, then finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How do I use GLAZE for optimal results?

Apply GLAZE directly to lips as needed throughout the day. It can be worn alone for a smooth, glossy finish or layered over lip color. For deeper nourishment and smoothing benefits, apply a generous layer overnight as a restorative lip treatment.

How do I use GLOW for optimal results?


Apply 1–2 pumps of GLOW to your face and neck after cleansing or toning, morning and evening. Gently massage it into the skin. Use it alone or layer it under ELEVATE Peptide Renewal Cream for added hydration. GLOW is also compatible with microneedling. If once daily fits your ritual better, that’s completely fine. Listen to your skin and adjust as needed.
