The foam is created by isopentane, an ingredient that when massaged into skin produces a brief oxygenating effect. This process is designed to help drive actives like poly-L-lactic acid and the peptide complex closer to the skin surface for better absorption. The foam disappears completely with massage, leaving nothing on skin except the active ingredients. You do not rinse it off.

Poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA, works by stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen rather than by accelerating cell turnover the way retinol does. The result is a gradual improvement in skin thickness, firmness, and density over time rather than surface-level exfoliation. PLLA is generally well tolerated and does not carry the initial sensitivity that retinol can cause, making it particularly effective for the structural, volume-loss type of aging.

Because poly-L-lactic acid works by triggering new collagen production, meaningful results build gradually with consistent use, typically becoming more noticeable after four to eight weeks of daily morning and evening application. Hydration and surface smoothing may be noticed more quickly. This formula continues improving your skin's structure the longer you stay consistent with it.

Volufiline is a clinically studied active derived from Anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract that works by stimulating the development of subcutaneous lipids, the layer of fat beneath the skin's surface that gives the face its youthful fullness. Clinical studies have shown it can increase subcutaneous lipid volume by up to 49%, which translates to a visibly fuller appearance in hollowed or deflated areas like the cheeks, temples, and around the mouth. In the HOP+ Caviplla+O2 Advanced Volumizing Serum, it works alongside poly-L-lactic acid to address volume loss from two distinct angles: structural collagen support and restored subcutaneous fullness.

Yes, this serum layers well with most skincare routines. Apply it after cleansing and toning but before heavier moisturizers or oils. If you are using other actives such as exfoliating acids, introduce the serum gradually and observe how your skin responds. Because poly-L-lactic acid works differently than exfoliating actives, there is no need to choose between them, though spacing strong actives across morning and evening routines is a good practice.

The formula includes centella asiatica extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, and scutellaria baicalensis root extract, all of which help calm and support skin that tends toward redness or irritation. Ceramide NP and panthenol reinforce the barrier to reduce sensitivity over time. If your skin is reactive, start with once-daily application in the evening and increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts.

The formula contains a concentrated blend of sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, and sh-polypeptide-22, each targeting different aspects of skin renewal and resilience. Together they work alongside adenosine to visibly soften the look of fine lines and support the skin's ability to repair and maintain itself over time. These peptides complement the structural work of poly-L-lactic acid by addressing the surface appearance of aging while PLLA works on the deeper collagen layer.
