Why Adipeau?

We’re scientists who make skincare.
And skincare can be confusing.
You need a good reason to believe.
Here are our five.

Mariel Hamingway for Adipeau - March 2026

01. Strong curves

We address what you really want — curves that look strong and smooth, without bulges or hollows. We call that ‘contour uniformity.’

02. Two products

Strength Gel addresses the bulges. Volume Cream addresses the hollows. Both work on face and body.

03. Rigorous science

Our science follows a medical chain of evidence: published theory, independent validation, clinical testing. We apply that standard to skincare.

04. Clinical evidence

We share 34 examples from 5 data sets, all evaluating a single variable: contour uniformity. Five more data sets are in progress.

05. Aesthetician adoption

More than 450 skincare professionals use Adipeau in their practices. They know what works.

And two more things worth knowing.

Engaged community.

Our Instagram community is highly active and our products resonate with real people. We show up the same way: open, honest, accessible.

Protected innovation.

Our issued patent protects the core formulation for 20 years. No one else is doing what we do.

What your skin’s fat cells need

Both the cream and the gel support cell renewal (for volume) and toning (for strength).
The cream is more focused on renewal, while the gel emphasizes strength.

Trusted by aestheticians worldwide

More than 300 holistic skincare professionals rely on Adipeau.

Protected innovation

Our core approach is protected by a broad patent, meaning these products can’t be replicated for the next 20 years. What we do is fundamentally different — and legally exclusive.

Our issued patent for the first composition to combine an adipogenic agent and lipolytic agent to stimulate more skinny fat cells.
