FAQ

What are DNA repair enzymes in skincare and what do they do?

DNA repair enzymes are specialized enzymes that help recognize and repair certain forms of UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells. In skincare, this advanced technology complements daily sun protection by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes after UV exposure and addressing the visible effects of photodamage. While sunscreen helps prevent UV damage in the first place, DNA repair enzymes can help support the repair of damage that may occur despite sun protection, promoting healthier-looking, more resilient skin over time.

What is copper peptide (GHK-Cu) and what are its benefits for skin?

Copper peptide skincare uses peptides bound to copper (GHK-Cu), to support the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes. These advanced formulas can help improve the appearance of firmness, smoothness, and overall skin resilience while supporting visible skin repair and a healthier-looking complexion.

What should I put on my face after a chemical peel or laser treatment?

Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions first. After a peel or laser treatment, skin is more sensitive. Providers commonly advise gentle cleansing, a simple moisturizer, and daily sunscreen, and they often ask you to pause retinol and exfoliating acids until they say it is safe to restart. Neova makes products for this stage, including CU3 Tissue Repair and Ultimate Redness Relief [confirm against Neova’s own aftercare guidance]. Ask your provider which Neova products to use and when to begin.

How is Neova different from other anti-aging skincare brands?

Neova takes a distinct, science-driven approach by targeting the effects of environmental damage at the cellular and DNA level. Its formulas combine DNA repair enzymes and copper peptides, backed by decades of research into skin repair and recovery.

What is the best Neova product for photoaged or sun-damaged skin?

DNA Total Repair is specifically formulated for photoaged and sun-damaged skin. Powered by the brand’s three DNA repair enzymes, it helps identify, remove, and repair visible signs of UV-induced damage, improving fine lines, discoloration, and uneven tone.

How do I use Neova DNA Total Repair, and is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Apply Neova DNA Total Repair to clean, dry skin in the morning and evening, then follow with sunscreen. Neova describes it as suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and as hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested [confirm on the brand page]. DNA repair enzymes do not replace sunscreen. Sunscreen helps prevent UV damage, and DNA Total Repair supports the skin’s repair of damage that still occurs.

About Neova

Neova is a clinical skincare brand built around two technologies: DNA repair enzymes and copper peptides. Neova skincare is one of the most trusted skincare brands for post-procedure care. It's built around DNA repair enzymes and copper peptides (GHK-Cu) that work synergistically as a dual-action system to target the causes and visible signs of sun damage and aging. This copper peptide skincare approach is formulated to correct UV-induced DNA damage before it becomes visible photoaging while accelerating skin regeneration, whether that's daily anti-aging maintenance or post-procedure skincare recovery. Trusted by dermatologists and plastic surgeons for over two decades. La Suite Skincare is an authorized Neova retailer.

The Science: DNA Repair + Copper Peptides

Neova's DNA repair enzyme skincare formulas include photolysomes, endosomes, and mitosomes that identify, remove, and repair UV-induced skin damage before it becomes permanent. Photolysomes have been shown to reduce UV-induced DNA damage by 45% after a single exposure, while Mitosomes eliminate 90% of oxidative damage within two hours. Neova’s Copper Peptide Complex® complements this technology with GHK-Cu, a copper peptide that supports collagen production and dermal recovery.
