In the ever-growing skincare industry, there’s an unspoken pressure to buy more, layer more, and hope for the best. But what if there was a better way? A simpler, more intelligent approach—grounded in real skin science and respect for what your skin actually needs?

That’s the foundation behind Savef Skin Essential Face Serum, created by skincare expert and founder Marzia Rahmani, who spent over two decades listening to clients, researching ingredients, and questioning the status quo.

Marzia believed it was time for skincare to be more honest, more photoprotective, and more aligned with the natural rhythms of the body. Savef Skin isn’t just a serum—it’s a retinue. A curated, skin-compatible formula that respects your time, your health, and your skin’s true biology.

We are proud to introduce the first photo-conscious skincare brand—built around protecting your skin not just from the inside out, but from the very elements that accelerate ageing and sensitivity.

Here’s how it’s built on three core pillars:

1. Only Photoprotective, DNA-Supportive Antioxidants—Nothing Photosensitising

Every antioxidant in Savef Skin was carefully chosen based on its ability to protect your DNA from oxidative stress without increasing sun sensitivity. Harsh actives like glycolic acid, retinoids, or overly exfoliating ingredients were excluded entirely.

Instead, Marzia handpicked a blend of intelligent, next-generation antioxidants that do more than defend—they restore and preserve:

• Idebenone – a bioengineered antioxidant 4x more powerful than Vitamin C and CoQ10, known for its DNA protection, free radical neutralisation, and support for mitochondrial health

• Acetyl Zingerone – a multi-tasking antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and DNA-repair-supporting benefits, clinically studied for reversing sun-induced skin damage

• Ferulic Acid – stabilises and amplifies the performance of other antioxidants while shielding DNA from environmental aggressors

• Resveratrol – a polyphenol that helps calm oxidative stress, protect telomeres, and defend against premature ageing at the cellular level

• Vitamin F Forte – rich in essential fatty acids, it restores lipid balance, improves moisture retention, and supports barrier integrity

• Organic Astaxanthin – a standout hero: 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C, this powerful antioxidant is deeply hydrating, highly photoprotective, and corrective for pigmentation, sun damage, and inflammation. It actively supports DNA repair while offering visible brightening and clarity

Additionally, minimal, yet effective amounts of tranexamic acid and niacinamide are included. They work synergistically with the antioxidant complex to support daily pigment balance and overall skin tone. There’s no need for high concentrations—used consistently, morning and night, these targeted additions enhance the serum’s corrective power without disrupting skin harmony.

Notably, you won’t find Vitamin C here. Marzia’s deliberate choice not to include it stems from its instability, common intolerance, and high reactivity under UV exposure. The ingredients she’s selected deliver stronger photoprotective and DNA-supporting results—without the complications.

This is prevention, preservation, and longevity done intelligently.

2. Supporting Autophagy Through Lifestyle and Skincare

Marzia’s vision extended beyond the surface of the skin. She embraced a powerful concept: autophagy—your body’s natural way of clearing out damaged cells and regenerating new ones. It’s the process that helps us stay biologically younger, longer.

Autophagy is triggered during intermittent fasting, and when done safely (if you’re medically cleared and not breastfeeding or pregnant), it can offer immense benefits to both body and skin. Savef Skin was designed to complement this natural renewal process, supporting the skin during these regenerative windows.

We recommend fasting for 16–21 hours once to three times a week, if suitable for your lifestyle and health. During these fasting hours, your skin needs protection, hydration, and calm—not a 12-step routine. That’s where Savef Skin comes in:

• It preserves moisture without burdening the skin

• It protects collagen and elastin during the repair cycle

• It delivers antioxidants when the body is actively detoxifying and restoring

• It promotes DNA integrity while your skin renews naturally

This is skincare that works in harmony with your biology, not against it.

3. Essential Skin-Compatible Ingredients, Nothing Excessive

The final pillar of Savef Skin is radical simplicity—formulating only with what your skin truly needs. The serum includes compounds that are already found within healthy skin, helping you to replenish and maintain what naturally diminishes with age, stress, or modern life.

• Ceramides – reinforce the barrier and prevent water loss

• Peptides – stimulate communication between cells and support skin repair

• Cholesterol – balances lipids and supports barrier function

• Soothing botanical extracts – calm inflammation and strengthen resilience

And despite including powerful ingredients, the formula remains elegant, light, and gentle—no layering, no fuss.

While it took over two years and 11 iterations to perfect the formula, the goal was always clear: fewer products, smarter ingredients, and effortless results.

A Vision Ahead of Its Time

Marzia Rahmani first began speaking publicly about these ingredients in her 2023 book, long before they became the buzzwords they are today. When she launched Savef Skin Serum in early 2024, she had already spent years researching the science, testing the formula, and speaking to women about their real skin concerns.

She didn’t follow a trend—she saw the future of skincare before most were ready to embrace it.

And she’s long been asked: “If you could pick just one product—what would it be?”

Her answer has always been the same:

“Aside from sunscreen—if it works for you—it should be a serum. One really well-formulated serum. Not because it sounds glamorous, but because serums penetrate deeper and do more. Moisturisers and cleansers can be simple and affordable. But your serum should be smart.”

Savef Skin: Your Intelligent Starting Point

Savef Skin Essential Face Serum represents a new era in skincare—one that blends photoprotection, autophagy science, DNA preservation, and essential nourishment into a single, beautiful solution.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking skincare, respect your skin’s natural intelligence, and begin a real longevity journey, this is your starting point.

Less layering. More living. This is Savef.
