Details & care

What it is: An herbal alternative to retinoid formulas that gently revitalizes skin while you slumber without irritation, redness or peeling.

Who it's for: Anyone who wants to capitalize on skin's nightly renewal while avoiding retinoids.

What it does: It calms, smoothes and plumps skin's appearance to a radiant, creamy glow while refining and evening texture and tone and promoting the appearance of clear pores. Designed for use only at night, it also diminishes evidence of previous blemishes. It's formulated with fermented pumpkin enzymes which renew skin to a delectable softness and decrease the appearance of environmental overexposure with a gentle, refining exfoliation; an encapsulated, biomimetic peptide derived from yeast enhances the appearance of renewed plump, conditioned skin; and sea algae extracts which are lush, oceanic extracts studied for their impressive abilities to hydrate skin and recover an appearance of vibrant luminosity. Xylitylgulcosides, precursors to skin's natural creation of hyaluronic acid, enhance the appearance of a hydrated, plump complexion, and neroli, an organic aromatherapeutic treasure extracted from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, soothes skin and nerves alike.

How to use: After sunset, apply 5–7 drops of serum to a clean face, neck and décolletage. In the morning, cleanse applied-to areas. Moonlight Catalyst must not be worn during the day or in conjunction with other exfoliating products or prescriptions to avoid irritation.

Magic

I've been using this serum (along with several other products) for the past 8 months and I am a huge fan. By far the best products I have ever used, organic or non-organic. I use this combined with a few drops of the rose oil and my skin went from good to incredible. For reference I'm in my 40's and in the past week alone I've had 3 people assume I'm in my 20's. Plus my esthetician for the past 10 years has even noticed the difference since I've been using it. I need fewer extractions and the texture is soft & clear. Don't hesitate to try any of the Kypris products.

Not a fan

I used this product faithfully, every night and noticed no difference in texture whatsoever. I used every last drop. It was a total waste of time and money. Truthfully, I was wooed by the pretty packaging and promises made by the brand, but I really didn't like it at all. I've never liked any natural beauty company (Herbivore is the only exception!). Get yourself some retinol--an ingredient that's actually proven to work!

Failed to meet expectations

I really wanted to like this due to the excessive list of organic ingredients. I've tried a tremendous amount of skin care products, both organic and not, and this product failed to meet the bar. I scour and research the internet daily for effective skincare products with unique ingredients. The smell for one was pretty vile, I almost cringed each time I had to put it on before bed. It was also my least favorite part of my skin care routine and believe me, I love every part and look forward to it at the end of the day. I felt as though I was forcing myself to like the product because everyone online has been raving about it, and because the packaging itself is aesthetically beautiful. Celestial blue, stars, the moon....all very dreamy, right? QUACKKKKK. Alas, I had to come to terms with the truth. I didn't notice any difference in my skin as far as moisture nor glow. The texture itself is notably thick and sticky, reminded me of slobber. Not luxurious at all. Sadly, it's promise for me fell short and I'll be returning to my usual Darphin/Shiseido/Kiehls selection. Sorry Kypris, wanted to like you so bad but the truth is setting me freeeeeeeee.

Major price increase!

I actually really liked this product and went to go repurchase only to find that this company decided to increase their price for this by about 25%! I just purchased this months ago for $78! Any company that marks up pricing by that much doesnt really care about thier customers. I understand prices go up all the time in makeup/skincare but not by that much...goodbye

Moonlight Catalyst

I’ve been using this for almost a year and it’s worth every penny. It has helped with the texture of my skin along with clearing up my blemishes, and my skin looks brighter in the am. So happy

the scent is lovely

I have been using Kypris products for about 5 years now and anytime I use another product on my skin it reinforces why I only do Kypris. I have oily skin in the T zone area. The regimen I do in the morning is 2 drops of antioxidant dew, 2 drops of clearing serum, 1 drop of elixir II. At night I use 2 drops moonlight catalyst, 2 drops clearing serum and 2 drops elixir II. It does not clog my pores and makeup looks flawless since my skin is kept moisturized. The best part is their commitment to universal love in the world by not testing on animals. Worth the price.

Lovely!

This stuff is pretty nice. I bought it after doing much research and im pleased with the results so far. My face is too sensitive for retinol/tretinoin but I have quite a bit of stubborn pigmentation from old acne and general texture issues I wanted to address. After a few uses, I already saw some improvement and I didn't get any irritation like I had with tretinoin. It is also. Pleasant experience for the senses - smells like a fancy organic spa and feels lovely going on. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a skincare treat that really works.

Overnight wonder

Great overnight exfoliator. I couldn't tolerate retinol so this is a fabulous alternative. You will see the difference in one night!

awesome!

I love using this 1-2 times a week to help fight signs of aging and everytime I use it I wake up with clearer more radiant skin! I now want to try all the other Kypris products.

Amazing!

I have been using this product for a couple of weeks now. I love it! I put it on every night and I wake up with incredibly smooth and hydrated skin. I honestly don't think my face has ever felt softer. (I use this product on its own, I don't find it necessary to put moisturizer on top of it). This product gives you all of the benefits of using a retinol without the irritation! FYI- I would say I have normal skin with a slightly oily t-zone.
