The 28-Day Wrinkle Retreat Protocol
The four-pathway collagen protocol used in clinical settings — reformulated for your bathroom.
Creams stop at the surface. Wrinkles form in the dermis, 2mm below it. Wrinkle Retreat is the only at-home system that reaches that depth on four fronts at once — opening a path, delivering the repair signal, activating your fibroblasts with clinical red light, and supplying the raw material to rebuild.

See how 17,956 women over 35 are rebuilding collagen, softening deep wrinkles, and wearing V-necks again
17,956 women who stopped calling it "just aging"
Most see real change between week 4 and week 8.
Jessica, 36
Coworkers kept asking if I was feeling okay even after a full 8 hours of sleep my under eyes were just grey and puffy 24/7. I'd taken a collagen powder every single morning for two years before this and felt absolutely nothing from it so I nearly skipped this thinking it was more of the same. The difference is you're not just drinking it into a void. You roll once a week, go up to 3 scoops that day and the day after while everything is repairing, mask on while I answer my emails. Two weeks in and the are you tired comments completely stopped.

Perimenopause hit and my skin just gave up. Like overnight nothing I was doing worked anymore. I was so skeptical anything at home could match what a dermatologist does but six weeks in my skin is actually thicker and bouncier. The roller then the PDRN serum then the red light feels like a real clinical treatment not another fancy cream. And the collagen every morning turned out to be the part I underestimated, my skin finally has something to actually rebuild with. For the first time in years I don't feel completely helpless about my face.

Megan, 35
My rosacea got bad enough that I wouldn't even answer the door without full foundation on. I was so nervous to try anything new because heat and most actives wreck my face. I started slow with just the red light and the collagen, a scoop in your coffee can't irritate anything, and then added the rolling once I trusted it. Within three weeks my skin was calmer than it has ever been on my prescription cream. I went to Target yesterday with literally zero makeup and didn't think about my face once. I cried in the parking lot.
"I went to Target with zero makeup and didn't think about my face once."
Lily, 44
My mid 40s hit and I started feeling kind of invisible my skin lost its bounce and went totally flat. But honestly it was my neck that bothered me the most. It aged so much faster than my face and I had quietly stopped wearing anything with a V neck, I owned scarves I did not need. I almost didn't order because I figured this is just what aging looks like now deal with it. I went with the version that includes the neck and chest piece and that was absolutely the right call, that's the part nobody ever tells you to treat. Six weeks in and two friends at book club asked what I was doing differently.
"I'm back in V necks. That's the part nobody tells you to treat."
Amelia, 50
I hated my wrinkles but I'm absolutely terrified of looking frozen or filler puffy. My friend ended up with migrated filler under her eye and it scared me off needles for good. I almost cancelled this order thinking it wouldn't be enough without injectables. I was so wrong. My lines softened my cheeks look plump and I still look like ME just a really well rested version of me. Filler just sits there, this is my own skin actually rebuilding itself. I cancelled my clinic consult for next month.
"I still look like ME just a really well rested version of me."
Olivia, 51
Turning 50 honestly wrecked my confidence my forehead lines got so deep I would avoid mirrors. I assumed it was too late to do anything without surgery and pretty much resigned myself to it. The red light brings crazy circulation to your face and within a few weeks my forehead was visibly softer and my skin had this glow I forgot it could even do. I'm over 35 so I do the 2 scoops daily and go up to 3 on rolling days exactly like they say. Walked into a Monday meeting and a coworker asked what filter I was using on Zoom. Not joking.
"A coworker asked what filter I was using on Zoom. Not joking."
Heather, 46
I swear I woke up one morning and there were jowls. Out of nowhere. I panicked convinced I had missed my window to fix anything. I wasn't sure microneedling at home would go deep enough to do anything serious I figured I would need real lasers. What actually changed it was the timing. You only roll once a week and then you load up on the collagen that day and the day after while everything is still repairing itself. Six weeks later and there is REAL lift along my jaw. Not subtle. Photographable. I don't dread my own front camera anymore.
"There is REAL lift along my jaw. Not subtle. Photographable."
Stephanie, 35
Two kids under five and a full time job. I had zero time and zero patience for a skincare routine I figured this would end up shoved in a drawer next to the other things I bought hoping I would suddenly become a different person. Plot twist the 10 minute mask became my favorite part of the day. And the rolling is only once a week not every night, the collagen is just a scoop in my coffee, that is genuinely the only reason I stuck with it. My skin is the best it's been since college AND I'm calmer. It's the one thing I do just for me.
"The 10 minute mask became my favorite part of the day."
Ava, 39
My sister's wedding was 6 weeks away and I was spiraling about being in the photos forever. I almost didn't order because I figured there was no way it would kick in fast enough to matter. Started the same day it arrived and followed their 28 day plan exactly as written, no improvising, no skipping the loading days. By week 4 my forehead lines were softer my skin looked lifted and that tired look around my eyes was just gone. The wedding photos came back yesterday and I actually love how I look. Not exaggerating.
"The wedding photos came back and I actually love how I look."
Mia, 28
I'm 28 and starting early on purpose I see what cortisol and stress have done to the women in my family and I'd rather get ahead of it. Honestly felt a little silly buying this at my age but my dermatologist friend told me prevention is the whole game in your 20s. I'm under 35 so it's just the one scoop a day for me which makes that bag last forever. My skin has never looked better. Like that expensive glow you see on celebs at this age. The free serum, the rollers and the collagen basically pay for the whole thing on their own.
"My skin has never looked better. That expensive celebrity glow."

Yes — this is the exact protocol you just read about.
The same four collagen pathways a MedSpa charges $3,000 a year to run, rebuilt as the 28-Day Wrinkle Retreat Camp and shipped to your door.
Your weekly rhythm
Three steps signal. One supplies.
Light, needling and PDRN all tell your skin to rebuild collagen. The fourth step is the only one that gives it the raw material to build with — and it's the half almost every other routine leaves out.
Prep & Stimulate
After cleansing, roll the Dermaroller across face, neck and chest. The micro-channels trigger your body's natural wound-healing response, and that alone drives a surge of fresh collagen and elastin. → Once a week. Same day each week.
- 0.25mm for the eye area, 0.50mm everywhere else. Sized for safe home use — not the 1.5mm+ depths a clinic uses under numbing cream.
- It feels like a prickly massage. No bleeding, no raw skin. The light pinkness settles within minutes.
- Once a week is the point. Rolling more often interrupts the rebuild you just started, so your skin never gets to finish.
Nourish & Repair
Apply the PDRN Active Collagen Serum while the channels are still open, when absorption peaks. This soothing salmon-DNA repair agent engages the same receptors your fibroblasts already use to rebuild. → Immediately after every roll.
- It soothes instead of stinging. Vitamin C sits at a low pH and retinol irritates even intact skin — on freshly opened channels both burn. PDRN settles the flush rather than sharpening it.
- It speaks your skin's own language. PDRN engages adenosine A2A receptors your fibroblasts already carry and already use to coordinate repair. Not a foreign instruction — the one they were waiting for.
- It wakes the cells that build collagen. Laboratory work found polydeoxyribonucleotides increased the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts, the exact cells that make collagen and elastin.
- It rebuilds the barrier instead of stripping it. That's where the plumped, glass-skin look the next morning comes from — a barrier holding water properly again.
- Not a trend ingredient. Seoul clinics have used PDRN after lasers and needling for years. What's new is getting it stable in a serum you can use at home.
One honest note: our PDRN is salmon-derived. Skip it if you have a fish or shellfish allergy, and check with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.
Heal & Amplify
The LED Mask + Neck & Chest Extension at 630nm. Red light reaches the dermis and energises your cells' mitochondria, independently driving new collagen while calming redness. → 3 to 5 nights a week, 10 to 20 minutes.
- It's the band with the human data. In a randomised trial of 136 volunteers, this wavelength range increased intradermal collagen density measured by ultrasound — structural change, not just better photos.
- It reaches the dermis. Where the structural breakdown is actually happening, rather than sitting on the surface like a cream.
- Safe the same night you roll. No UV, no heat damage, no downtime — which is exactly why it's the step that closes the rolling ritual.
Rebuild From Within
A scoop of Multi-Type Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides stirred into your morning coffee. Steps 1 to 3 all tell your skin to rebuild. This is what it rebuilds with. Types I, III and V are the scaffolding proteins your dermis is made of, and chronic cortisol strips them faster than your body replaces them.
+ day after
That last chip matters more than anything else on this page. Rolling opens a 48-hour repair window where your fibroblasts run at their highest output of the week. Loading on those two days hands the repair crew its raw material at the exact hour it's calling for it. → Every single day, without exception.
Run the signals without the supply and you cap your own results. That's why every kit ships with all four.

The Wrinkle Retreat 2.0™ Clinical Protocol: The Complete 4 Step Cortisol-Repair System
The Evidence Behind Each Step
We'd rather show you the studies than tell you to trust us. Every mechanism in this protocol has been tested in published human research. Here's what those studies measured — and what they didn't.
(Dermaroller)
Biopsies showed significant increases in Type I and Type III collagen.
El-Domyati and colleagues gave ten patients with photoaged skin six dermaroller sessions, then took skin biopsies at baseline, one month and three months. Quantitative analysis found statistically significant increases in collagen types I, III and VII, in newly synthesised collagen, and in tropoelastin.
This matters because it's histological evidence — tissue examined under a microscope — rather than self-reported satisfaction. The needling itself produced measurable new structural protein.
(Salmon DNA)
It works by binding the same receptors your fibroblasts already use to repair.
PDRN is a purified mixture of DNA fragments derived from salmon. The most-cited review of its pharmacology describes its principal mechanism as engagement of adenosine A2A receptors — receptors abundantly expressed on fibroblasts — while also supplying nucleotides to the cell's own salvage pathway.
Earlier laboratory work found that polydeoxyribonucleotides increased the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts specifically through A2 purinergic receptors. That's the cell type responsible for producing collagen.
Thellung S, Florio T, Maragliano A, Cattarini G, Schettini G. Polydeoxyribonucleotides enhance the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts. Life Sciences. 1999;64(18):1661–1674.
(630nm)
Collagen density increase confirmed by ultrasound, not just photographs.
Wunsch and Matuschka randomised 136 volunteers into red light at 611–650nm — the band that contains 630nm — a broader-spectrum light, a placebo-equivalent, or no treatment, twice weekly across 30 sessions.
Both light groups showed significantly increased intradermal collagen density measured by ultrasound imaging, reduced skin roughness on profilometry, and improved wrinkle scores on blinded photographic assessment. The ultrasound measurement is the important part: it indicates structural change in the dermis rather than surface hydration.
Peptides
Skin elasticity improved against placebo — and held after they stopped.
Proksch and colleagues randomised 69 women aged 35 to 55 to receive 2.5g or 5g of hydrolysed collagen peptides, or a placebo, once daily for eight weeks. Skin elasticity, the primary endpoint, improved significantly in both dose groups compared with placebo.
Four weeks after the last dose, elasticity was still significantly higher in the older women — the effect did not vanish the moment they stopped. No side effects were recorded during the study. This is the step that supplies raw material rather than signalling for it, which is why it runs every day instead of once a week.
What to expect, week by week
Awakening
Your cells are waking up. Nothing structural yet — this is circulation, hydration and the first repair response doing their work.
What you'll notice
- Morning puffiness drops noticeably, especially around the eyes.
- Skin looks brighter and more rested within the first few mask sessions.
- Your first derma-roll opens the repair window; the 3-scoop loading days start feeding it.
- No real wrinkle change yet, and that's expected — new collagen takes roughly 28 days to form.
The Camp Ends
Four rolling sessions and four loading windows in. The collagen laid down in week one is now reaching the surface.
What you'll notice
- Skin texture starts smoothing. Makeup sits better and stops settling into lines.
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth visibly soften.
- The grey, tired look has lifted for most women by this point.
- This is usually where someone notices something changed without being able to name it.
Softening
Past the camp and into accumulation. Every week now adds to what the last one built.
What you'll notice
- Nasolabial folds look softer at rest, not just when your face is relaxed.
- Skin feels thicker and bouncier to the touch rather than simply smoother.
- Neck and chest begin responding if you're running the extension — they lag the face by two to three weeks.
- Firmness improves as the daily collagen keeps supplying what the weekly trigger demands.
Firming
The structural change becomes hard to argue with. This is the stretch where friends start asking.
What you'll notice
- Forehead grooves less prominent at rest.
- Jawline definition improves and early jowling softens.
- The under-eye area looks less hollow and less shadowed.
- Photographs start looking different, which is usually the moment it becomes real.
Restoration
Neck and chest catch up. For a lot of women this is the part that mattered most all along.
What you'll notice
- Chest crepiness and vertical sleep lines begin plumping out.
- Neck skin firms along the jaw-to-collarbone line.
- V-necks stop being a decision you have to make each morning.
- The face keeps improving in parallel — nothing plateaus here.
The Rebuild
Twelve weeks of weekly triggers and daily supply. The dermis itself is genuinely different now.
What you'll notice
- Firmness across all three zones — face, neck and chest.
- Deeper lines are softer, though the very deepest may not fully resolve.
- Tone is more even as redness and dark spots continue fading.
- This is the point where comparison photos stop being ambiguous.
Maintenance
You've built the structure. Now you keep it, on considerably less effort than it took to get here.
What you'll notice
- Drop the mask to one or two sessions a week. Keep rolling weekly if you enjoy it.
- Stay on your daily collagen dose — supply is what holds the gains in place.
- Collagen declines naturally by 1 to 1.5% a year, so maintenance really is just maintenance.
- Unlike filler or Botox, nothing wears off on a fixed schedule. What you built is your own tissue.
120 DAYS & 100% SATISFACTION
Run the full 28-Day Wrinkle Retreat Camp, then keep going. Every order is protected by our no-risk 120-day 100% money-back guarantee.
