Teprenone Serum Booster is a concentrated peptide booster, supplied in a 0.5-ounce glass dropper bottle. It is intended to improve skin hydration, reduce the appearance of visible pores, refine texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines when blended into an existing lotion or serum.

If you struggle with enlarged pores, increased redness, reduced firmness, or dull texture, adding 2–5% of this booster to your finished lotion or serum helps you target those concerns without replacing your current products. The ingredient (Renovage/Teprenone) is associated with telomere research that contributed to Nobel Prize–recognized work and is widely used by cosmetic formulators as an active ingredient.

  • Recommended usage: 2–5% concentration in finished formulas
  • 0.5 ounce pure Teprenone (Renovage) in a glass dropper bottle for DIY boosters
  • Supports hydration and reduces visible pore appearance based on supplier formulation guidance
  • Paraben-free, made in USA, and cruelty-free, suitable for custom blending
  • Used by formulators in designer cosmeceuticals as a targeted active ingredient

Unlike many diluted department-store serums, this product is a pure active peptide booster, so you control the concentration and cost when you add it to your own formulas. Compared to ready-made anti-aging serums, you can customize the strength and combine it with hyaluronic acid, AHAs, or peptide complexes for complementary results.

Recommended by DIY formulators and used in professional cosmetics formulations. See our how-to guides and lotion-making videos for step-by-step mixing instructions and supplier usage notes.

Renovage has several capabilities, but its primary focus is improving the look and feel of mature skin. So if your face isn't as supple as it once was and you long for smooth, beautiful skin again, you owe it to yourself to try Renovage.

Teprenone is an age-fighter that improves our skin's barrier function by protecting it from transdermal water loss. It hydrates and provides needed moisturization, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also reduces the look of discolorations, including redness and age spots.

For a 5% concentration of Renovage in a 1-ounce skincare product, bulk base, or formula, add 45 drops.

For a 2% concentration of Renovage in a 2-ounce skincare product, bulk base, or formula, add 36 drops.

Teprenone is used in anti-wrinkle formulations or added to your product to improve the tone and youth for a healthy complexion. Do not use it directly on the skin.

To get compelling results, you only need to add a 2-5% concentration of Renovage to any existing cream, lotion, or serum (or to your homemade skincare recipe).

Once you've added a few drops and mixed them into your skincare product of choice, close the bottle tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The container's tint will protect your serum booster against dilution or damage from light exposure, and the cold temperature will keep it fresh for later use.

Applications:

  • Anti-Aging Face Creams
  • Anti-Aging Serums
  • Day and Night Moisturizers
  • Firming Body Lotions
  • Highly Concentrated Back Bar Facial Treatments
  • Hyaluronic Facial Serums and Gels
  • Make-up Including Foundation
  • Tightening Eye Creams, Eyelash, and Eyebrow Formulas, and more!

Do not directly apply to your skin. Instead, add Teprenone in the oil phase or at the end of formulation at the recommended usage rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of teprenone?
Teprenone supports more youthful-looking skin by improving hydration, reducing visible redness and pore size, and softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Clinically oriented uses report improved moisture retention and skin texture when formulated at recommended topical concentrations (typically 2–5%), and it is commonly used as a serum booster to enhance existing lotions or serums. Teprenone’s effects are thought to come from supporting cellular homeostasis and barrier function rather than immediate volumizing, so measurable improvements typically appear over weeks of consistent use rather than instantly. People who benefit most are mature, ingredient-savvy users seeking targeted anti-aging improvements—especially those concerned with texture, enlarged pores, and redness—plus DIY formulators who want to add a concentrated active to an existing product. Limitations: teprenone complements but does not replace exfoliating actives or prescription retinoids for rapid cell turnover, and patch testing is advised when combining potent actives.
What is teprenone in skin care?
Teprenone is an anti-aging active used in topical skincare as a concentrated serum booster to improve hydration, skin texture, and the visible signs of aging. In consumer formulations it is typically used at 2–5% and is supplied as a liquid booster to be mixed into a lotion, cream, or serum; Skin Perfection offers it in a 0.5 ounce dropper bottle for DIY addition. Teprenone is positioned among peptide-type actives and is valued for supporting skin barrier function and reducing redness and pore visibility rather than producing immediate plumping. It is most useful for users who want to customize formulations or increase active concentrations in a controlled way. Limitation: its benefits accumulate over time and it is best used alongside complementary ingredients such as humectants and antioxidants rather than as a single-step replacement for clinical retinoid therapies.
What is renovage?
Renovage is a commercial name commonly used in skincare to refer to teprenone, the same anti-aging serum booster used to improve hydration, minimize redness and tighten the look of pores. When labeled as Renovage, the ingredient is typically formulated at a 2–5% usage rate as a booster added to existing serums or creams; this concentrated delivery is intended to enhance texture and reduce the visible appearance of fine lines over weeks of regular use. Renovage/teprenone is chosen by formulators who want a non-retinoid option to support cellular resilience and skin moisture. It benefits mature or redness-prone complexions and DIY formulators who want to strengthen the performance of a base product. Limitation: Renovage works gradually and is best combined with humectants, barrier-supporting lipids, and sun protection for comprehensive anti-aging results.
Can I add the Teprenone Serum Booster to my existing moisturizer or serum for custom anti-aging results?
Yes, you can easily add the Teprenone Serum Booster to your favorite moisturizer or serum to create a personalized anti-aging treatment. The recommended usage rate is just 2–5%, allowing you to adjust the concentration for your specific needs—this gives you the same clinical-strength dose of Teprenone (also known as Renovage) found in high-end brands, but without added fillers or preservatives. This flexibility is especially valuable for ingredient-conscious women seeking professional results at home, as it lets you target concerns like fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin texture in a formula that fits your routine. For best results, ensure you mix thoroughly and patch test your custom blend before full use, and always follow safe formulation guidelines if you’re new to DIY skincare.
How does the Teprenone Serum Booster compare to department store anti-aging products in terms of potency and value?
Teprenone Serum Booster offers a higher concentration of active anti-aging ingredients than most department store serums, delivering professional-grade results at a fraction of the price. While name-brand products with Renovage (teprenone) typically cost between $60 and $120, our 0.5 oz bottle contains the pure booster, allowing you to customize your skincare at 2–5% concentrations—the same potency used in clinical trials for visible improvements in skin firmness, pore size, and redness. This is especially valuable for educated, ingredient-savvy women who want to avoid fillers and parabens, giving you control over both formulation and cost. Those seeking personalized, maximum-strength skincare and transparency in ingredients benefit most from this approach. However, if you prefer a ready-made product without any mixing, a traditional department store serum may be more convenient but less potent and cost-effective.
