Which Multi-Fruit Product Do You Actually Need?
Our Multi-Fruit Peptide & Collagen line has six products in it, plus a couple of ways to buy them together. That is a lot of decisions for something you just want to put on your face. So here is the short answer: most people should not start with all six.
Below is what each one is for, which single product to buy if you only buy one, and where the bundle actually saves money rather than just looking like it does.
Key takeaway
- Buying one thing? Buy the serum. It is the most concentrated product in the range and the one built around the peptides the line is named for.
- Want the whole routine? The $50 Starter Kit is the best value we sell. Eight pieces, two of which are not available separately.
- The gift set genuinely saves money. The six full sizes come to $203 bought separately and $175 in the set.
If You Only Buy One Thing, Buy the Serum
The Multi-Fruit Peptide & Collagen Serum is $48 for 2oz, and it is the product the rest of the line is arranged around.
Serums are the most concentrated step in any routine, which is where you want the actives to be. This one is built on phytopeptides with dragonfruit juice, pomegranate extract, hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E, and it is formulated to hydrate and to smooth the look of skin texture.
It also layers into a routine you already own. You do not have to abandon your cleanser to use it, which makes it the easiest way to find out whether this line agrees with your skin.
The Whole Routine, for $50
The Multi-Fruit Starter Kit is eight pieces in travel sizes: all six products below, plus a Multi-Fruit Masque and a Multi-Fruit Lip Balm that we do not sell separately.
Pound for pound this is the best value in the range. It is also the only place to get those last two, and the sizes are small enough to travel with once you have decided what you like.
The Cheapest Product in the Line Is Also the Most Surprising
The Day Moisturizer is $20 for 2oz, the least expensive full-size product we make in this range, and the name undersells it considerably.
It is formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, the two mineral filters used in physical sunscreens, alongside pomegranate extract, hibiscus hydrosol, blueberry oil and Vitamin E. Most people buying a day moisturizer do not expect mineral filters in it.
Two honest notes on this one. It carries a high percentage of zinc, which means it can leave a white cast on deeper skin tones - worth knowing before you order. And it does not carry a rated SPF number on the label, so if you need certified sun protection for a long day outdoors, treat this as moisturizer with mineral filters in it rather than as a replacement for a rated sunscreen.
What Each of the Six Actually Does
| Product | Size | Price | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleanser | 8oz | $30 | Cleansing without stripping natural oils. The largest bottle in the line, so it lasts. |
| Toner | 4oz | $32 | Hibiscus, cucumber and rosemary hydrosols with hyaluronic acid. Rebalances after cleansing. |
| Serum | 2oz | $48 | The concentrated step. Phytopeptides, dragonfruit, Vitamin E. |
| Day Moisturizer | 2oz | $20 | Lightweight, with mineral filters. See the note above about white cast. |
| Night Moisturizer | 4oz | $45 | Richer, with rose hydrosol and caffeine. Made to sit on skin overnight. |
| Eye Gel | 1oz | $28 | Cucumber hydrosol, caffeine and ginseng for the skin around the eyes. |
Bought individually, all six come to $203.
When the Gift Set Makes Sense
The Multi-Fruit Gift Set is the six full sizes in a gift box for $175. Against $203 bought separately, that is $28 saved.
Buy this one if you already know the line suits you, or if you are buying for someone who does. It is a lot to commit to sight unseen, which is what the serum and the Starter Kit are for.
So, Which One?
- Adding one product to a routine you already like - the $48 Serum
- Want the full routine without spending much - the $50 Starter Kit
- Want daytime moisture with mineral filters - the $20 Day Moisturizer
- Dry skin, or want the richest step - the $45 Night Moisturizer
- Already sold on the line, or buying a gift - the $175 Gift Set
We make everything in small batches by hand in Portland, so individual products do sell out from time to time. If something you want is unavailable, the collection page shows what is in stock right now. One consequence of the fruit ingredients is worth mentioning too: the color varies slightly from batch to batch. That is the dragonfruit, not a fault.
The Short Version
Six products is a full routine, and a full routine is a big ask from a brand you have not tried. If you want one thing, make it the serum. If you want the whole routine, the $50 kit gets you all of it in travel sizes. Buy the full sizes of the ones you actually reach for.
FAQs
No. The six make a complete routine, but most people are better off adding the serum to a routine they already use, or starting with the $50 Starter Kit. Buy the full sizes once you know which ones you reach for.
The serum, at $48, if you are adding a single product to an existing routine. It is the most concentrated step and the one built around the peptides. If you want to try the whole line instead, the $50 Starter Kit covers all six in travel sizes.
Yes. The six full-size products come to $203 bought individually. The gift set is $175, so it saves $28 and includes the gift box.
It is formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, the mineral filters used in physical sunscreens, but it does not carry a rated SPF number. For extended time outdoors, use a rated sunscreen. Note that the high zinc content can leave a white cast on deeper skin tones.
The formulas contain real dragonfruit, and natural fruit ingredients vary between harvests. The shade of a batch can differ slightly as a result. It does not affect how the product performs.
The Multi-Fruit Masque and the Multi-Fruit Lip Balm. Both are included in the $50 Starter Kit and are not sold as individual products, along with travel sizes of all six main products.
