The Product

Modern Alchemist

Modern Alchemist by Gentlerist is a luxurious botanical facial oil that deeply nourishes, restores vitality, and delivers transformative anti-aging benefits for radiant, supple skin. Over 29 powerful bioactive botanicals work in synergy to nourish, repair, plump, and preserve youthful-looking skin.

A luxurious oil-based serum that deeply nourishes for soft, smooth, and plump skin. A base of argan, avocado, borage, blackberry, and sea buckthorn oils replenishes dry, mature skin, while a cutting-edge bio-retinol complex, omega lipids, and powerful antioxidants deliver transformative anti-aging benefits. Advanced green technology ensures your skin is revitalized, hydrated, and glowing with restored vitality.

Over time, the skin's natural collagen levels are boosted to plump the skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and restore elasticity. The skin's protective barrier is rebuilt to shield against environmental damage (including pollution, harsh weather, and UV rays) and reverse age-related damage, including light damage and tissue degeneration. The complexion is radiant, smooth, firm, healthy, and youthful thanks to regenerating nutrients that stimulate new cell growth and nourish the dermal layers.

Deeply nourishes and hydrates
A blend of baobab oil, prickly pear seed oil, and sea buckthorn oil works synergistically to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. These rich oils are packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that replenish moisture, leaving skin soft, smooth, and well-hydrated without any greasy residue.

Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation
The Bio-Retinol complex, composed of rosehip, bakuchiol, carrot, sweet potato, borage, and licorice, offers a plant-based alternative to traditional retinol. This complex helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting skin regeneration, revealing a youthful and radiant complexion without irritation.

Skin tone brightening and evening
Arctic blackberry seed oil, rich in vitamins A, C, and E, helps brighten the skin and reduce discoloration. An infusion of bio-fermented tamarind seeds enhances these effects, providing a natural glow, diminishing dark spots, and revealing a balanced, luminous complexion.

Support and protection of the skin barrier
The omega-lipid complex, which includes ceramides, phytosterols, and a blend of oils such as avocado and sea buckthorn, strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, retaining hydration and protecting it against environmental stressors. These ingredients help prevent dehydration and support a strong, healthy skin barrier.

Antioxidant protection
Frankincense, rose, green tea, and goji berry extracts offer a powerful combination of antioxidants that protect the skin from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Together, they support skin health and vitality while minimizing the visible effects of aging.

Regeneration and repair
Buriti oil, rosehip seed oil, and amaranth seed extract help regenerate and repair the skin. These oils work to regenerate and rejuvenate, improving texture, reducing scars, and promoting a healthy, radiant complexion. The antioxidant properties of these oils further enhance the skin's natural recovery process.

Soothing and calming
Helichrysum extract and prickly pear seed oil are renowned for their soothing and calming properties. They reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and support the skin's natural healing process, leaving skin balanced and less prone to redness or sensitivity.

Skin health improvement
Menaquinone-7 (vitamin K2) and coenzyme Q10 promote better circulation, reduce swelling, and stimulate the skin's natural repair processes. These ingredients help improve skin tone, making it more even and radiant over time.

Strengthens and softens
Squalene (derived from olives) and phosphatidylcholine strengthen and smooth the skin's texture. They retain moisture, improve elasticity, and leave the skin soft, plump, and smooth with a silky finish.

How to use

Apply oils after cleansing and toning the skin. Lighter, water-based serums should be applied before oils or mixed together.
- Start by gently shaking the bottle to activate the concentrate.
- Pour into the palm of your hand. The amount needed will vary from a few drops to a full dropper depending on your skin's condition and the climate. Use a small amount when introducing this product into your routine, starting with just 3 to 5 drops and adjusting the quantity as needed based on your skin's reaction.
- Press your palm against your cheeks and forehead and use your fingers to gently massage the skin in upward motions, moving away from the center of your face. Pay particular attention to fine lines, wrinkles, and areas prone to dryness.
- Massage along the temples and jawline; the oil acts as a conduit to relieve tension and ease stress.
- Use daily, morning and evening, or as a supercharged serum when skin needs a boost.

FAQ

Your most frequently asked questions about this product

Is Modern Alchemist suitable for oily skin or is it reserved for dry skin?

Modern Alchemist is formulated to be non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, even if its richness makes it particularly appreciated by dry and mature skins. Eddie Zhao ensured that the formula nourishes deeply without weighing down or clogging pores. Mixed skins can use it in the evening only or adjust the dosage. For very oily skins, Gold Drops remains the best choice.

How do I use Modern Alchemist in my routine?

Shake the bottle to activate the concentrate before each use. Apply to clean, toned skin after your aqueous serums (like Ambrosia), or mix them together for even deeper absorption. Start with 3 to 5 drops and adjust according to your skin's needs and climate. Modern Alchemist can be used morning and night without risk of photosensitivity, unlike retinol. In the evening, it regenerates. In the morning, it protects against environmental damage.

Can I use Modern Alchemist during pregnancy?

Yes, Modern Alchemist is considered safe during pregnancy because the bio-retinol complex is a plant-based alternative to synthetic retinol (Vitamin A). These natural retinol analogues come from food-grade, plant-based ingredients that function differently from conventional retinol which is to be avoided during pregnancy. Bakuchiol, carrot, sweet potato, and other components are well-tolerated natural actives. Nevertheless, always consult your doctor before introducing any new product during this sensitive period.

What is the composition of Modern Alchemist?

Modern Alchemist contains argan, avocado, borage, cloudberry, sea buckthorn, prickly pear, and green tea oils as a nourishing base. The bio-retinol complex unites bakuchiol, rosehip, carrot, sweet potato, borage, licorice, Dunaliella Salina micro-algae, and pure beta-carotene. Anti-aging actives include Vitamin K2, amaranth seed-derived CoQ10, olive squalane, and phosphatidylcholine. Over 29 bioactive botanicals work in synergy, including goji, frankincense, and omega-lipids for an exceptionally complete, 100% plant-based formula.

What is the difference between Modern Alchemist and Gold Drops?

Modern Alchemist and Gold Drops are both nourishing serum-oils but with different actions. Modern Alchemist is the richer of the two, specifically formulated with a bio-retinol complex to target visible signs of aging: wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness. It is particularly suitable for dry and mature skins. Gold Drops is lighter, universal, with bakuchiol and astaxanthin for versatile daily nutrition. Think of Modern Alchemist as your intensive anti-aging treatment and Gold Drops as your daily multivitamin. You can alternate or layer them.

Can I apply Modern Alchemist around the eyes?

Yes, Modern Alchemist can be beneficial for the eye contour, particularly the under-eye area which benefits from its intense nutrition and anti-aging properties. Apply carefully to avoid oil migrating into the eyes. Gently tap a few drops with fingertips onto the orbital bone. Vitamin K2 helps reduce dark circles and puffiness. The bio-retinol complex stimulates skin density and elasticity in this delicate zone. Simply avoid the mobile eyelid if you are prone to migration.
