The Science

We use what works.
At concentrations that matter.

Most brands hide behind “proprietary blends” or use trace amounts of actives for label appeal. We’re transparent about what’s in our products and why.

“I came from a slew of The Ordinary serums and have completely swapped them all out with Strive. Wild that I was blasting my face with so many bottles. My face’s skin barrier is elated.”

Hydrates deeply and minimizes the appearance of my blemishes and dark circles which I’ve struggled with for years. My skin feels smoother and I look more awake since I started using it. Highly recommend!

It’s a bit pricier than the cheap alternatives I’ve used for the last two months but it’s well worth it. Not only does it hydrate the skin, it also has ingredients to help with skin brightening which replaces at least one of my other products.

“Really loving all the stuff and can definitely notice a difference since I started. I got married about 2 months ago and feel like my skin looked great in our pictures, which was really awesome.”

“I use the whole set. My skin is looking brighter, smoother, and bouncier. You can see the care that goes into selecting the right ingredients. I also feel good investing in my skin for the long-term.”

I didn’t realize how significant the right retinal can be for my skin. The Apex Serum is amazing. My skin looks firmer and smoother. It has that bright yellow retinaldehyde, plus peptides and antioxidants… This is an incredible product.

Our Story

Built by a chemist who got tired of the same BS.

Most men’s skincare brands spend more on the packaging than what’s inside. Trace amounts of actives, hidden behind “proprietary blends,” priced like they actually work. They don’t.

Strive started with a simple question: what if we used the concentrations that actually show up in the research? 5% niacinamide, not 0.5%. 10% peptides, not a dusting for the label. Every ingredient at the level shown to make a real difference.

We publish our concentrations because we have nothing to hide. If the research says it works at a certain level, that’s what we use. No shortcuts, no label decoration.
