The XyberHealth skincare line
A complete clean-formula regimen that can replace a typical drugstore shelf — every product passes our avoid list and is built around evidence-based hero actives.
A low-pH daily clean that never strips.
A clear, low-pH gel that lifts away makeup, sunscreen, oil, and the day's grime with mild, non-sulfate surfactants while glycerin and panthenol keep the skin barrier feeling soft and comfortable rather than tight. Sets a clean, balanced canvas for the rest of the routine without disrupting the skin's own moisture.
Hydrate, prep, and gently refine in one step.
A lightweight watery essence that floods skin with humectant moisture and preps it to absorb the serums that follow, with a low dose of polyhydroxy acid to gently smooth the look of texture and beta-glucan to keep skin calm and comfortable. A PHA-only sensitive variant drops the lactic acid for the most reactive skin.
Morning antioxidant defense for brighter, firmer-looking skin.
A classic low-pH (≤3.5) morning antioxidant serum: 15% L-ascorbic acid stabilized by ferulic acid and vitamin E to help defend the look of skin against daily environmental stress, support a brighter and more even-looking tone, and complement collagen's youthful appearance. Best worn in the AM under SPF, where the antioxidant network and sunscreen reinforce each other.
Balance shine, refine pores, support the barrier.
A water-light serum pairing 4% niacinamide with sebum-regulating zinc PCA to help visibly balance oil and shine, refine the look of enlarged pores, support the skin barrier, and even the appearance of post-blemish marks and redness. Exceptionally well tolerated and layers under almost anything, AM or PM.
Nightly renewal for smoother, firmer-looking skin.
A PM-only facial oil delivering 0.3–0.5% retinol in a stable squalane base with vitamin E, to support visibly smoother texture, a firmer, more even-toned look, and refined lines over time by encouraging surface cell turnover. The oxidatively stable squalane carrier and antioxidant protect the retinol from breaking down. A bakuchiol swap is offered for those who prefer a gentler, non-retinoid option or who are pregnant or nursing (advise a consult). Use only in the PM, never the same night as acids or benzoyl peroxide, and pair with daily SPF.
Unclog pores and calm the look of breakouts and redness.
A targeted clearing treatment offered in two strengths — 2% salicylic acid to travel into pores and clear excess oil from congested, blemish-prone skin, or 10% azelaic acid to calm the look of redness and even blemish-prone, uneven tone. Pick one as the single exfoliant track in a routine to avoid over-exfoliation. The 15–20% drug-strength azelaic option is routed to consult, never sold as a custom mix.
Fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone.
A multi-pathway brightening serum combining 3% tranexamic acid, 2% alpha arbutin, and niacinamide to help visibly fade stubborn dark spots, post-blemish marks, and the look of melasma, for a more even, luminous-looking tone. Daily SPF is the single most important partner step — discoloration won't fade if new sun exposure keeps driving it.
Restore the barrier and lock in lasting hydration.
A cushiony moisturizer built around barrier-identical ceramides (with cholesterol and fatty acids), hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and squalane to help reinforce the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and seal in hydration for a stronger, more resilient, comfortable-feeling complexion. The ideal post-retinoid or post-acid recovery step; a lighter gel-cream variant suits oily skin.
Smooth, firm, and de-puff the look of the eye area.
A lightweight eye cream pairing Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide) and copper-peptide GHK-Cu to support the look of firmer, smoother skin and reduced fine lines, with caffeine to de-puff and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate under-eye area. Formulated so the copper peptide isn't paired with low-pH acids that would disrupt it.
The non-negotiable last step — broad-spectrum mineral protection.
A finished, tested mineral sunscreen using only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum UV protection in an elegant, non-chalky base — no oxybenzone, homosalate, or other chemical filters. As a finished SPF drug product it is sold ready-made, never custom-mixed, and is the mandatory last AM step in every routine, especially alongside vitamin C, acids, and retinoids.
Calm, comfort, and recover from flares and irritation.
A weightless cooling gel built on Centella asiatica (madecassoside), panthenol, and bisabolol to help calm the look of redness and reactivity and support a soothed, comfortable barrier. The go-to step when skin feels stressed — after a procedure, during a retinoid flare, or whenever a routine needs to be dialed back to recover.
A weekly moisture surge while you sleep.
A rich leave-on overnight mask layering hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid (which holds even more water than HA) with glycerin and squalane to flood skin with humectant moisture and seal it in, so skin wakes up looking plumped, smooth, and dewy. Used a few nights a week as the final PM step in place of a regular moisturizer.
A weekly resurface for visibly smoother, glowing skin.
Pre-soaked weekly resurfacing pads with glycolic acid at a cosmetic level (≤10%, final pH ≥3.5, per FDA AHA guidance) to sweep away dull surface buildup and reveal visibly smoother, brighter, more even-looking skin. Because glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity, daily SPF is essential, and these are not for use during an active sensitivity flare or the same night as a retinoid.
Barrier-repair comfort for soft, hydrated lips.
A nourishing lip treatment built on barrier-identical ceramides, squalane, and panthenol to help reinforce the delicate lip barrier, reduce moisture loss, and soothe the look and feel of dry, chapped lips — leaving them soft, smooth, and comfortable. Fragrance-free, so it suits even sensitive lips.

What we leave out
These ingredients are excluded from every custom formula — our clean-formula promise. The list reflects FDA and Health Canada guidance: some are restricted or prohibited outright, others are contested sensitizers or have unresolved safety questions we'd rather not put on your skin. Where the science is settled we exclude entirely; where it's a positioning or profile call we minimize and gate.
Never in a XyberHealth formula
Formaldehyde & formaldehyde-releasers
DMDM hydantoin, quaternium-15, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, bronopol (2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol)
Known allergen/sensitizer that releases formaldehyde over time; quaternium-15 is among the top US cosmetic contact allergens.
Regulatory: Health Canada Hotlist restricts free formaldehyde (<=0.01% in non-aerosol leave-ons; banned in aerosols); the EU banned quaternium-15 (2017).
Synthetic fragrance / undisclosed "parfum"
parfum, fragrance, aroma
The leading cause of cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis; an undisclosed blanket 'fragrance' hides individual allergens.
Regulatory: FDA allows 'fragrance' as a trade-secret blanket term — we disclose every scent component or go fragrance-free.
Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3)
benzophenone-3, BP-3
Endocrine-disruption concern with high systemic absorption.
Regulatory: FDA has not designated oxybenzone GRASE (more data needed); the EU SCCS flags endocrine activity. XyberHealth SPF is mineral-only.
Homosalate & octinoxate
homosalate, octinoxate, octyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate
Absorption and endocrine-activity concerns at higher exposures.
Regulatory: FDA: additional data needed (not designated GRASE); we use mineral filters only in our SPF.
Coal-tar / unsafe colour dyes; Basic Green 4 (malachite green)
coal tar dyes, Basic Green 4, malachite green
Sensitizers; some are prohibited as unsafe colourants.
Regulatory: Health Canada Hotlist prohibits unsafe coal-tar dyes (and added Basic Green 4 in 2024).
Hydroquinone (OTC)
hydroquinone
Ochronosis risk and unresolved carcinogenicity questions; not formulated by XyberHealth.
Regulatory: FDA withdrew OTC hydroquinone (CARES Act 2020) — Rx only. Excluded from custom formulas; consult-only.
Minimized / avoided in leave-ons
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in leave-ons
sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS
Harsh, barrier-stripping, and irritating as a primary surfactant — especially in leave-on products.
Regulatory: Permitted but an irritant; we avoid it in leave-ons and use mild surfactants in cleansers.
Drying alcohols as a primary solvent
alcohol denat., SD alcohol, denatured alcohol
Strips the barrier and worsens dryness/sensitization when high on the INCI as a primary base.
Regulatory: Permitted; we avoid it as a primary base (fine as a trace solubilizer).
Highly comedogenic oils on acne/oily profiles
virgin coconut oil, cocoa butter, wheat germ oil
Pore-clogging on facial skin; virgin coconut oil is occlusive and comedogenic. Profile-gated — blocked for acne-prone/oily skin types.
Regulatory: Not banned, but profile-gated: excluded for acne-prone/oily profiles in our formulas.
Methylisothiazolinone / methylchloroisothiazolinone (MIT/MCI) in leave-ons
methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, MIT, MI, MCI
Potent sensitizer (a former Allergen of the Year), especially in leave-on products.
Regulatory: Restricted in EU leave-ons; we avoid it in leave-ons.
Parabens
methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben
Contested weak estrogenic signal; CIR and FDA consider parabens safe at use levels.
Regulatory: We default paraben-free for positioning, not as a safety mandate.
