Dual-chamber skin renewal

A targeted serum for uneven-looking tone, dullness, fine lines and dehydration. Water and lipid formulas dispense together in one step.

Renewal Code is a dual-chamber skin renewal serum by FWBEAUTY, formulated for uneven-looking skin tone, post-blemish marks, dullness, fine lines and dehydration. Its water and lipid formulas dispense together in one step, combining targeted brightening ingredients with hydration and a comfortable, emollient finish.

Why your skin will love it

  • More even-looking tone: tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and oil-soluble brightening ingredients target the appearance of dark spots and discolouration.
  • Smoother-looking skin: bakuchiol, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 and antioxidant ingredients support the appearance of texture and fine lines.
  • Hydration and comfort: ectoin and hyaluronic acid pair with squalane and nourishing lipids to leave skin feeling replenished and supple.

The dual-chamber formula

A water-to-lipid design holds water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients in separate chambers until dispensing. Both formulas meet at application. 

Clinically measured over 28 days

In an instrumental efficacy study of 30 participants using Renewal Code twice daily for 28 days, measured changes included +43.5% skin hydration, −23.0% melanin index, +5.8% skin brightness and −18.4% wrinkle depth. Individual results may vary.

How to use

After cleansing, dispense one full pump, releasing both phases together. One pump is sufficient for the entire face. Smooth a thin, even layer over dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area. Applying more than one pump may cause pilling or leave a tacky finish. Introduce gradually according to skin tolerance. Follow with Youth Capsule Advanced Brightening Cream; in the morning, finish with broad-spectrum SPF. Patch test before first use.

Do I need both?

No. Start with one serum that fits your preferences. If you already enjoy Saffron Gold, Renewal Code is an alternative approach—not a required extra step. If you choose to layer both, apply Renewal Code first, then a small amount of Saffron Gold before moisturiser. Introduce products separately and follow your skin’s tolerance.

A formulation and routine comparison, not a head-to-head performance study.

One pump. One considered step.

01 / Dispense

After cleansing, use one full pump to release both phases together. One pump is enough for the entire face.

02 / Smooth

Spread a thin, even layer over dry skin, keeping clear of the immediate eye area. More product may cause pilling or a tacky finish.

03 / Complete

Follow with moisturiser. In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum SPF. Patch test first and introduce gradually.

Cleanse → Renewal Code → Moisturiser → SPF (morning)

Before you start

Is Renewal Code right for my skin?

Renewal Code is formulated for uneven-looking tone, dullness, fine lines and dehydration. It contains multiple active ingredients, so suitability depends on your own skin. Patch test before first use. If your skin is reactive or currently irritated, introduce it cautiously and seek personalised advice if needed. Stop use if irritation occurs.

How do I introduce it?

Start with less frequent use and increase gradually only if your skin remains comfortable. Introduce one new active product at a time. The study used Renewal Code twice daily for 28 days; that schedule is not a requirement when first introducing it.

Can I use it morning and evening?

Yes, according to your skin’s tolerance. Use one full pump after cleansing and follow with moisturiser. Always finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum SPF.

How should I layer it?

Apply to clean, dry skin before moisturiser. Keep the routine simple when first introducing it, and avoid adding several new active products at once. Saffron Gold is optional, not essential; if using both, apply Renewal Code first.

How do I avoid pilling?

Use just one full pump for the entire face, spread a thin layer over dry skin and allow it to settle before the next product. Avoid over-applying or repeatedly rubbing the same area. If pilling continues, simplify the products you layer with it.

When might I see a change?

The instrumental study measured changes after 28 days of twice-daily use. Individual results may vary. These results relate to Renewal Code and do not establish that it performs better than another serum.

Do I still need moisturiser and SPF?

Yes. Follow with your moisturiser and wear broad-spectrum SPF each morning. Renewal Code does not replace sunscreen.

Key benefits

Why take a multi-pathway approach?

Uneven-looking tone rarely has a single cause. The visible result can involve excess pigment, post-blemish marks, dullness and the way light reflects from dry or textured skin. Renewal Code was formulated to address several of these visible concerns within one routine step.

Its water chamber carries tone-focused and hydrating ingredients, including tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and ectoin. The lipid chamber contributes an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative, bakuchiol, antioxidant ingredients and emollients. They dispense together, pairing a targeted brightening strategy with hydration and a comfortable finish.

Choose the steps that suit your skin. Renewal Code fits after cleansing and before moisturiser; finish daytime routines with SPF.

Two phases. One considered formula.

Renewal Code brings a water based phase and a lipid phase together at the point of application. Developed for uneven-looking tone, dullness, texture and the look of fine lines, with ingredients chosen to help skin feel hydrated and comfortable.

Concept visual of Renewal Code with two phases
Dual-chamber design

Water + lipid, together at use.

Renewal Code pairs a lightweight water formula with an emollient lipid formula in a 60:40 format. Each chamber holds ingredients suited to its phase; both dispense together when you press the pump.

  • Water chamber: brings a fresh, fluid feel and water-based hydration, helping skin feel replenished without a heavy finish.
  • Lipid chamber: adds softness and a cushioned, comfortable feel, helping skin feel supple after application.

Used together, the two textures give you a hydrating serum with an emollient finish in one application step.
