You’ve probably noticed that the skin on your face and the skin on your body feel, behave, and react very differently. From the thickness of the skin, to the size of the pores, to varying exposure to environmental damage, the skin on your face and body have very different characteristics and needs. That’s why we felt it was important to develop different topical supplements for the face and body skin — OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY – each of which are powered by our proprietary peptide, OS-01, and specifically formulated for the different areas of your skin.

OS-01 Peptide for the Body and the Face
Before we address the differences between OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY, let’s establish their core similarity - they both contain our proprietary peptide, OS-01, scientifically proven to deliver the following benefits:
- Aid in cellular repair. [1,2]
- Increase epidermal thickness. [1,2[
- Improve barrier function. [1,2,3]
- Increase biomarkers associated with collagen and hyaluronic acid production. [1,2]
- Decrease tbiomarkers associated with inflammation and aging. [1,2]
- Reverse the biological age of skin. [1,2]

Know the Difference Between the Skin On Your Face and the Skin On Your Body
If you’ve shopped the skin care aisle, you're already aware that topical skin products are typically developed for either the face or body, and rarely for both. And you may have learned the hard way that using topical products on the incorrect areas, especially using those designed for your body on your face, can lead to acne outbreaks, rashes, and damaged skin. That’s because body products and face products are typically formulated with different ingredients that suit each area of the skin and their different characteristics.So what are the core differences between the skin on your face and body?
- Thickness
- Skin Cell Turnover Rate
- Dryness
- Pores & Tendency to Clog
- Environmental Exposure

How are OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY different?
Because there are major differences between facial skin and body skin, we felt it was necessary to develop two OS-01 topical supplements: OS-01 FACE , designed for delicate areas of your skin most exposed to damage, including your face, hands, décolletage, and neck, and OS-01 BODY , designed for the rest of your body’s skin.The formulations of OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY differ in two primary ways:
- The concentration of the OS-01 peptide
- The supporting ingredients
- Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Mushroom Extract.
- Sulforaphane.
- Genistein.
- Ceramides.
- Saccharide Isomerate.
- Pracaxi Oil.
- Andiroba Oil.
- Niacinamide.
- Oleic Pau Mulato Extract.
- Allantoin.
- Hyaluronic Acid.

How does OS-01 FACE specifically benefit the skin on the face, neck and hands?
As we’ve alluded to, while OS-01 FACE was designed for facial skin (it’s in the name, after all!), it’s also beneficial for the skin on the neck, décolletage, and hands, which, like your face, remain exposed to the environment on a daily basis and lack the same durability and thickness as the skin on the body.Specifically, OS-01 FACE benefits the skin of the face, neck, décolletage, and hands by:
- Supporting barrier function. [1,3]
- Promoting collagen and hyaluronic acid biosynthesis pathways, for stronger, firmer skin. [1,2]
- Increasing skin tone and smoothness. [1,3]

How does OS-01 BODY specifically benefit the skin on the body?
Although body skin is much more resilient than facial skin, it still experiences damage and deterioration, especially as we age. Maintaining skin health and a strong skin barrier should be a priority for your whole body.Specifically, OS-01 BODY benefits the skin on the rest of your body by:
- Increasing epidermal thickness. [1]
- Improving barrier function. [1]
- Improving skin hydration and texture. [1]

How should you use OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY?
OS-01 FACE: We recommend applying OS-01 FACE twice daily to the most delicate, damaged, or exposed areas of your skin, especially the face, hands, décolletage, and neck, directly after cleansing.OS-01 BODY: We recommend applying OS-01 BODY one to two times daily to the rest of your body, or specific areas where you would like to see benefits, ideally directly after showering.

Key Takeaways:
- All skin is not created equal! The skin on your face and the skin on the rest of your body have different characteristics, exposure, and needs, therefore using products specifically designed towards those differences is essential.
- Facial skin is thinner, holds a greater number of sebaceous glands, and is more vulnerable to environmental damage when compared to skin on the body.
- The formulations of OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY differ in their concentration of the OS-01 peptide and their supporting ingredients.
- Both OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY contain OneSkin’s potent proprietary peptide, OS-01, in amounts that are especially suited for the level of damage and exposure to each skin area.
- The formulations of OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY each contain supporting ingredients that target the needs of the skin associated with each product.
