Frequently Asked Questions

The Maison Van Irene ritual is a two-step skincare system. First, apply the Copper Peptide Elixir to treat and support visible renewal. Then apply the Copper Peptide Barrier Cream to seal in hydration and support the skin barrier.

Yes. Both products are designed for daily use. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

The Copper Peptide Elixir combines eleven active ingredients — including a nine-peptide complex led by GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) — to support firmness, hydration, and overall skin quality. The formula is designed to improve the appearance of elasticity, smoothness, and radiance while supporting the skin's natural barrier.

Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin, morning and evening. Gently press into the face and neck using upward motions. Allow 30 seconds to absorb before following with moisturizer. Finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.

The 30ml / 1.01 fl oz bottle lasts approximately 10 to 14 weeks of consistent twice-daily use, at 2 to 3 drops per application.

The formula is designed to suit most skin types, including sensitive skin. It is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and formulated without unnecessary irritants. Those with very reactive or highly acne-prone skin should patch-test before full use.

Yes, with thoughtful layering. When using retinol, apply the Elixir first in the evening, then retinol once the Elixir has absorbed. Vitamin C pairs well in the morning routine before the Elixir. For AHAs and BHAs, alternate evenings — use the Elixir one night and the exfoliating acid the next — to avoid overworking the skin. Always introduce new actives gradually and observe how your skin responds.

The Copper Peptide Barrier Cream is formulated to fortify the skin's natural barrier and seal in actives from the treatment step. A triple ceramide complex works alongside GHK-Cu and a multi-peptide system to support hydration, resilience, and a smooth, refined finish.

After cleansing — and after the Copper Peptide Elixir, if using — warm a pea-sized amount between fingertips and press gently into the face and neck. Morning and evening. Allow to absorb for 60 seconds before layering sunscreen or makeup.

Yes. The Copper Peptide Barrier Cream functions as a complete daily moisturizer on its own. Pairing it with the Copper Peptide Elixir creates the full two-step ritual — treat, then seal.

The formula is designed to absorb into a velvet, non-greasy finish that accepts layering. Allow 60 seconds after application for full absorption before applying sunscreen or foundation.

The formula is fragrance-free and built around ceramides and peptides rather than heavy oils — designed to suit most skin types, including sensitive and combination. Those with very reactive or highly acne-prone skin should patch-test before full use.

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in healthy skin. Our triple ceramide complex replenishes three specific ceramide types to help reinforce the barrier against moisture loss and environmental stressors.

The Hair Density Elixir is a cosmetic scalp serum designed to support the appearance of fuller-looking, denser-looking hair and a healthy scalp environment.

Apply a few drops directly to a clean scalp, morning and evening. Massage gently, and do not rinse. For best results, use consistently as part of your daily routine.

The formula is designed for both men and women — all hair types, all scalp types.

It is formulated for all hair and scalp types, with soothing, comfort-focused actives such as allantoin for everyday scalp comfort.

The Hair Density Elixir is a cosmetic scalp serum, not a medicine. If you use a prescription scalp treatment, please ask your prescribing clinician before adding any new product to your routine.

Our formulation uses a multi-peptide system rather than relying on a single peptide — an approach designed for more comprehensive support of visible firmness, hydration, and overall skin appearance.

No added fragrance is included. The formula is designed to feel refined and suitable for sensitive skin.

GHK-Cu is a well-studied peptide known for its role in supporting skin appearance and overall skin quality. It is widely used in advanced skincare formulations for its ability to support firmness and visible skin improvement over time.

Yes. Our products are produced in a GMP-certified facility following strict quality standards for safety, stability, and performance. Each batch is formulated and tested to consistent specifications.

Yes. Maison Van Irene products are cruelty-free.

Hydration and skin feel often improve from the first application. Many people notice visible improvement in firmness and radiance at 8 to 12 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Peptide complexes work gradually as the skin responds over time. Individual results may vary.

The formula is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and support smoother-looking skin by enhancing hydration and elasticity.

Yes. Individual results vary based on skin type, routine, consistency, and other products being used.

Maison Van Irene focuses on precision-driven formulations that combine high-performance ingredients with a refined, luxury experience. Every product is designed with intention, balancing performance, simplicity, and elegance.

Maison Van Irene was founded by Irene Van Hetten, who believed effective skincare should combine scientific rigor with a luxury experience — without compromising either. In her words: “I don’t believe in choosing between science and luxury. The skin deserves both.” The brand is built on three principles — precision, purity, and performance — with a continued commitment to responsible, cruelty-free practices.
