Powered by NAD+ APEX™️: encapsulated NMN to carry an NAD+ precursor through the skin barrier, plus a booster that helps skin recycle more of its own NAD+.

The next generation of C.A.R.E. now with Methylene Blue and Liposomal Creatine.

The product that started Young Goose has been upgraded. Now formulated with Methylene Blue and Liposomal Creatine, the next generation of C.A.R.E. goes deeper into the cellular science that has always defined this formula.

This is not surface-level hydration. This is cellular enablement.

Full Ingredient List
Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Copper Tripeptide-1, Sh-Polypeptide-47, beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, Creatine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoprene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Ubiquinone (Co-Enzyme Q10), Ergothioneine, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Squalane, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Methylthioninium Chloride (Methylene Blue), French Lavender Oil.
Advanced NMN Delivery

NAD+ APEX™ combines encapsulated NMN with a booster designed to support the skin’s natural NAD+ pathway. The encapsulated NMN component is engineered to improve stability and help carry an NAD+ precursor through the skin barrier and into the living layers of the skin, where it can be utilized more effectively.

In permeability testing, our encapsulated NMN crossed a skin-barrier model about 6 times more readily than NMN on its own. The point is delivery: NMN that reaches the living layers of the skin, where it can support the skin’s NAD+ pathway.

Health begins with energy. Energy begins with mitochondria.

Every C.A.R.E. purchase contributes $1 to Countdown, a 501© (3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing mitochondrial science and medicine across the full spectrum of human health.

Your purchase supports research, education, and scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping how we understand health, from prevention and resilience to performance and longevity.

Health begins with energy. Energy begins with mitochondria.

the science of cellular energy

C.A.R.E. is formulated around a single founding insight: skin aging is not primarily a hydration problem. It is an energy problem.

Your skin cells contain mitochondria. Mitochondria produce the ATP your cells need to maintain barrier function, synthesize collagen, and turn over normally. As mitochondrial efficiency declines with age, every downstream system follows. Skin loses its capacity to hold hydration, defend itself, and renew.

The next generation of C.A.R.E. adds Methylene Blue and Liposomal Creatine to an already precision-built formula. Together with NAD+ APEX, CoQ10, Ergothioneine, and GHK-Cu, the formula now covers more of the mitochondrial pathway than any previous version.

Six active ingredients. One cellular strategy. The same conviction, taken further.

WHO IT’S FOR

advanced cellular support for every skin protocol

GOOD FOR

Formulated for anyone 25 and up who wants to support skin's cellular energy before visible aging compounds. Ideal for prevention-focused users in their 20s and 30s, as well as those in their 30s and 40s seeking to support skin longevity at the cellular level. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and post-procedure skin.

Texture

A lightweight, fast-absorbing cream that applies smoothly and absorbs without heaviness or residue. Formulated without fragrance or parabens.

nad+ apex

A 3rd generation NAD+ support system that feeds your skin's NAD+ pathway. NAD+ levels decline measurably with age; NAD+ APEX supports the cellular machinery that depends on it for energy production and repair.

methylene blue new

Acts as an alternative electron carrier across mitochondrial chain blockages, supporting energy production when normal electron transport pathways are compromised. New to the next generation formula.

liposomal creatine new

Buffers ATP during cellular energy demand spikes, giving skin cells a reserve of energy precisely when they need it most. New to the next generation formula.

coQ10

Serves as the inner-membrane electron shuttle essential to the electron transport chain. Replenishes naturally declining levels to support efficient mitochondrial energy production.

ergothioneine

A long-half-life antioxidant that concentrates in mitochondria, protecting against oxidative stress at the cellular level where it is most needed.

ghk-cu

Modulates gene expression associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling, supporting the conditions for collagen synthesis and cellular renewal.

how to apply

daily ritual

Apply to slightly damp skin for optimal absorption.

morning and night

After cleansing and any serums, apply a dime-sized amount to face and neck. Gently pat into skin. Allow 2-3 minutes before applying SPF (AM) or proceeding to sleep (PM).

with other Young Goose products

Layer C.A.R.E. after Blue Peptide Spray for compounded mitochondrial support. Apply serums first, then C.A.R.E. as the final moisturizing step while skin is still slightly damp.

post-treatment

After professional treatments (facials, microneedling, energy-based treatments), apply C.A.R.E. that evening as a supporting layer. Use twice daily for 6-8 weeks to support cellular recovery and compound results.

we know what you’re thinking..

What is new in this version of C.A.R.E.?

The next generation formula adds two clinically studied active ingredients: Methylene Blue and Creatine. Methylene Blue supports energy production by acting as an alternative electron carrier across mitochondrial chain blockages. Liposomal Creatine buffers ATP during demand spikes, giving cells a reserve of energy under stress. Both additions deepen the formula's mitochondrial strategy without changing its foundational logic.

Why is C.A.R.E. different from other moisturizers?

Most moisturizers are formulated to add water to the skin surface. That hydration feels good temporarily, but it does not address why skin loses the ability to retain water in the first place. C.A.R.E. is formulated around the cellular biology of skin aging: when mitochondria lose function, skin cells lose the energy to maintain barrier integrity, produce collagen, and turn over normally. C.A.R.E. supports those upstream cellular processes. The visible results follow from the inside out.

What are the six active ingredients and what do they do?

NAD+ APEX: 3rd generation NAD+ support system. Feeds the cellular pathway responsible for mitochondrial energy production and DNA repair. Methylene Blue: Alternative electron carrier. Supports energy production when normal mitochondrial pathways are compromised. Liposomal Creatine: ATP buffer. Gives skin cells a reserve of energy during demand spikes. CoQ10 (Ubiquinone): Inner-membrane electron shuttle. Replenishes age-depleted levels essential to the electron transport chain. Ergothioneine: Long-half-life mitochondrial antioxidant. Protects cells against oxidative stress where it matters most. GHK-Cu: Modulates 4,000+ genes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and ECM remodeling.

How long until I see results?

Results from C.A.R.E. unfold over time because mitochondrial support is a real cellular process, not a surface effect. Most users notice immediate hydration in weeks 1-2. Barrier function strengthens and sensitivity decreases in weeks 2-4. Visible improvements in elasticity, fine lines, and skin texture compound from weeks 4-8. Results continue to build beyond week 8. Consistency is the variable that matters most.

Who is C.A.R.E. for?

C.A.R.E. is for anyone 25 and up who wants to support their skin's cellular energy. For the 25-35 segment: mitochondria are at or near peak capacity right now. C.A.R.E. supports that capacity before the decline compounds. For the 35-45 segment: the decline has started but it is early. C.A.R.E. intervenes at the cellular level before visible signs accelerate. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and post-procedure.

Can I use C.A.R.E. after professional treatments?

Yes. Professional treatments create cellular demand spikes. C.A.R.E. provides ATP buffering and mitochondrial support for optimal recovery. Apply the evening of treatment, then twice daily for 6-8 weeks to support visible transformation.

What does the Countdown donation mean?

Young Goose donates $1 from every C.A.R.E. purchase to Countdown. Longevity is not just a skincare value. It is a commitment to the science that extends healthy life for everyone.

Is C.A.R.E. vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Like all Young Goose products, C.A.R.E. is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens or unnecessary fillers.

Is C.A.R.E. made in the USA?

Yes. All Young Goose products are proudly made in the USA.

Congratulations on the evolution of

"Congratulations on the evolution of this product. It forms the core of my skin care and I am super excited to be benefiting from the two new ingredients, methylene blue and creatine. Medicine is fast moving toward the bioenergetic deficit model of illness, so to see a brand that recognises and addresses declining energy in skin care optimisation is a true blessing. I will continue to support you and your products, and look forward to the next chapters with YG."
