Venus Gold Elixir No. 6 – Luovi Touch

The evening before an important day. You look in the mirror and you know that no regular cream will work that fast. Skin looks dull, fine lines around the eyes are more visible than usual, the colour of your face „disappears” under the lamp light. This is where Venus Gold Elixir comes in.

The elixir works on three levels at once: it instantly brightens (colloidal gold reflects light and acts as an antioxidant), instantly smooths (over 90% native collagen creates an elastic tightening film) and deeply nourishes (argan oil, squalane and babassu oil rebuild the lipid barrier). Hyaluronic acid with trehalose plumps fine lines, while encapsulated vitamins A + E switch on regeneration in the background.

The hero ingredient is native collagen - unlike hydrolysed collagen (the most common form in cosmetics) it preserves its triple-helix structure. This is the form that binds water and rebuilds skin tension most effectively, which is why Venus Gold Elixir delivers a „rested skin” effect after just 5 minutes.

The texture is silky and lightweight, with subtle gold particles that melt on contact with the skin. The scent is warm, slightly floral and discreet. The elixir absorbs in 60-90 seconds and leaves no stickiness - you can apply makeup right away, the elixir becomes the perfect base under foundation.

Indications: Skin type: all skin types, especially mature, dry, tired and dull skin. Age: 25+ as prevention and before key events, 35+ active anti-aging care, 50+ intensive firmness rebuild. Concerns: loss of radiance, fine lines, photo-aging, lack of firmness, important events (wedding, photo shoot, gala), grey complexion after a sleepless night.

This is step 6 of the Luovi Touch ritual - use after toner and serum (e.g. Lunar Eyes Lift No. 5), before a day cream or Sunset Rich Cream No. 7 at night. 50 ml = approximately 3-4 months of daily morning and evening use.

• Step 1. After cleansing (Velvet Sky Micellar Water No. 1 + Blue Cloud Foam No. 2) and toner, dispense 3-5 drops of elixir onto clean hands.
• Step 2. Warm between hands to activate the formula, then pat into the skin of the face, neck and décolleté – upward, from the centre of the face outward.
• Step 3. Wait 60-90 seconds for full absorption – skin should feel matte to the touch, with no stickiness.
• Step 4. Use morning and evening: on its own, or as a base under your moisturiser / Sunset Rich Cream No. 7 at night.
• Step 5. In the morning always layer SPF on top – the elixir boosts protection against oxidative stress.
• Pro tip: Before an important event (dinner, photoshoot, wedding) apply the elixir 30 minutes before makeup and gently massage any excess into your cheekbones – you will get a „glow from within” no highlighter can match.
• Position in the ritual: Step 6 of 7. After: toner + serum (e.g. Lunar Eyes Lift No. 5). Before: day cream or Sunset Rich Cream No. 7 at night.

Key actives and how they work:

• Native Collagen (Soluble Collagen) – over 90% of the formula. Unlike hydrolysed collagen, it preserves the full triple-helix structure, which lets it act as a biomimetic tightening film on the skin surface, bind water and support the skin's own collagen synthesis. We chose it over hydrolysed collagen because only the native form delivers an instant tightening effect.
• Colloidal Gold – pure gold nanoparticles reflect light (brightening effect) and act as an antioxidant, neutralising free radicals from UV and pollution. They also enhance the bioavailability of the other actives.
• Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (argan oil) – the „liquid gold of Morocco”, rich in unsaturated omega-6 fatty acids and natural vitamin E. Regenerates, prevents trans-epidermal water loss and restores skin elasticity.
• Squalane – an emollient structurally close to skin sebum. We chose it over heavy mineral oils because it absorbs without greasiness and does not clog pores.
• Sodium Hyaluronate + Trehalose – low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (deep hydration) combined with a natural protective sugar that locks water in even under stress (air conditioning, frost).
• Retinyl Palmitate + Tocopheryl Acetate (encapsulated vit. A and E) – stable, gentle form of retinol and vitamin E in microcapsules, released gradually. Stimulates cell renewal and protects against oxidative stress without the irritation typical of pure retinol.
• Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Callus Culture Extract – bitter orange stem cells, in vitro studies show they restore skin elasticity to its level 12 years ago.
• Babassu Oil Glycereth-8 Esters – a gentle babassu oil derivative that rebuilds the lipid barrier without a greasy effect.

Store at 5°C to 28°C, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and humidity (not in the bathroom under the shower). Close the bottle tightly after each use so the encapsulated vitamins A and E retain their activity. After opening use within 12 months (PAO 12M – open-jar symbol on the packaging).

Hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the product (check the full INCI in the „Composition” tab). The elixir contains Retinyl Palmitate (vitamin A) – if pregnant or breastfeeding consult use with a doctor. Before first use we recommend a patch test: apply a small amount to the inner elbow and wait 24 h. In case of irritation, itching or redness – stop use immediately, rinse the skin with cool water, apply a soothing cream (e.g. with panthenol) and observe for 48 h. Avoid contact with eyes – in case of contact, rinse with plenty of water. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
