Introducing Metabolic Beauty
Age gives skin cells
an energy problem.
We solved it.
Patented Krebs Cycle science — the first skincare line
that restores mitochondrial function from within

The R·M·A Complex™
Skincare that works
at the cellular level.
Most moisturizers sit on the surface. IDEO goes deeper — restoring the mitochondrial energy your skin cells need to renew themselves the way they did years ago.
The patented R·M·A Complex™ supplies the Krebs cycle with what it needs to restart cellular metabolism. Skin that doesn't just look better — it behaves better.
The Skin Longevity Protocol
Two products.
One complete system.
The Serum accelerates cell renewal. The Moisturizer locks in hydration all day. Together, they are the complete Skin Longevity Protocol.

Why the Protocol Works
Your mitochondria respond to consistency. Not just effort.
In longevity science, mitochondrial improvements don't arrive all at once — they compound. IDEO's R·M·A Complex™ signals the Krebs cycle every time you apply it. Each application builds on the last, deepening the metabolic shift in your cells over weeks and months.

Real Results
How fast is
Skin Memory?
Results can be seen in as little as five days. They compound over time as the cell remembers how to act younger the more its mitochondria is stimulated to produce energy.
5 Days
2 Weeks
4 Weeks
Benefits continue to accrue over time. One bottle typically lasts 6–8 weeks with twice daily use.
The Science Visualized
The R·M·A Complex™ re-primes the Krebs cycle — supplying the intermediates aging skin cells need to restart energy production from within.
Why this matters
Most "metabolic skincare" works on the mess.
We work on the source.
The metabolic skincare conversation has become crowded — NAD+, NMN, mitophagy, senolytics. These are real science, and some of it is genuinely promising. But here's what most brands don't say: nearly all of these approaches are downstream responses to energy failure. They're trying to clean up the damage after the power goes out. IDEO works on the power supply itself.
What they claim
NAD+ & NMN
Replenishing NAD+ helps cells produce energy. True — but NAD+ is a coenzyme that assists the Krebs cycle. Topping it up doesn't restart a stalled cycle. It's like adding oil to an engine that's seized.
What they claim
Mitophagy activators
Clearing out damaged mitochondria so healthy ones can take over. Worthwhile — but it removes the problem rather than fixing it. You still need functional energy production to replace what was cleared.
What they claim
Senolytic ingredients
Targeting senescent "zombie cells" that spread inflammation. Again, real science — but senolytics address the consequences of long-term energy failure, not the failure itself. The fire alarm, not the fire.
The IDEO difference
We don't respond to energy failure. We prevent it.
The Krebs cycle is the central engine of cellular metabolism — the step where your mitochondria actually make energy. When it slows with age, everything downstream degrades: cells lose the power to renew, repair, and hold moisture. Dr. Blass's breakthrough was recognising that you can supply the Krebs cycle directly with its missing intermediates — maleate being the key — and restart that engine at the source. No other skincare formula works at this level. Not topically. Not with a patent. IDEO does.
The Science Behind IDEO
30 years of Alzheimer's research. Applied to your skin.
Dr. John Blass spent three decades at Cornell University researching how brain cells lose energy as they age — and how to restore it. His breakthrough: by supplying Krebs cycle intermediates directly to cells, you can restart their metabolic function.
When he applied the same logic to skin cells, the results were dramatic. That formula is the R·M·A Complex™ inside every IDEO product.
The Skin Longevity Protocol
Your skin already knows
how to be young.
