About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded by Katey Mandy in New Zealand, RAESO was born from her vision to merge natural resilience with scientific precision. After years in the beauty industry abroad, she returned home to harness native plants that thrive under strong UV exposure. Paired with advanced cosmeceutical science, these botanicals form the foundation of RAESO’s age-preventive skincare.

We love RAESO for its intelligent approach to age prevention. The formulas combine New Zealand botanicals with potent actives to protect against daily damage and accelerate repair overnight. Each product feels refined yet delivers visible results, from a brighter complexion to a smoother texture and firmer skin. Thoughtfully designed and highly effective, RAESO makes advanced skincare both purposeful and pleasurable.

With 80% of extrinsic ageing caused by UV exposure, RAESO takes a sun-conscious approach to prevention. Each formula follows chronobiology, protecting skin with antioxidant plants by day and renewing with vitamin C and retinal by night. A new era of age prevention is here, strengthening, brightening, and restoring in sync with your skin’s rhythm.

Brightening (Energising)

Brightening skincare involves using active ingredients to boost your blood circulation, detoxification and cellular energy. Improved blood circulation brings more essential nutrients and oxygen to your skin, while detoxification helps eliminate cell waste and impurities that can make your skin look dull. Certain active ingredients also enhance your skin's metabolism and regeneration. These combined actions restore your skin's vitality and radiant appearance, giving you a fresh, energised complexion.

Plumping

Plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant skincare is dedicated to protecting the skin against oxidative stress—one of the primary drivers of premature ageing and cellular damage—while preserving overall skin integrity and vitality. These formulations rely on potent molecules such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental aggressors before they can compromise cellular structures like lipids, proteins, and DNA. Beyond defence, many antioxidants also support repair processes and enhance collagen stability, contributing to improved firmness, brightness and resilience. The result is skin that is not only shielded from ongoing damage but maintained in a healthier, more luminous state over time.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Anti-Redness

Anti-Redness skincare is all about reducing and preventing facial or body redness, which can result from irritation, skin conditions, compromised barriers, and hormonal changes. A targeted approach with multiple strategies works best for tackling redness. Anti-Redness formulations include active ingredients that soothe and strengthen your skin barrier. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties calm inflammation and protect against environmental irritants. Additionally, these ingredients have vasoconstrictive properties, meaning they reduce blood vessel dilation to lessen redness. Together, these actions help achieve a more even-toned, balanced complexion that's less prone to redness flare-ups.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle skincare is focused on both preventing and visibly reducing the formation of lines by targeting the structural and dynamic causes of wrinkles within the skin. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin decline, cell turnover slows and repeated facial movements create creases that become etched over time. Advanced formulations address these mechanisms through a combination of elastin-stimulating actives, smoothing peptides that help relax the appearance of expression lines, and deeply hydrating ingredients that plump the skin from within. By reinforcing the skin’s architecture while softening surface contractions and improving elasticity, anti-wrinkle skincare delivers a visibly smoother complexion.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protecting skincare at a cellular level focuses on defending the skin against the internal damage triggered by UV exposure, rather than simply blocking rays at the surface. Ultraviolet radiation generates free radicals and disrupts cellular DNA, accelerating collagen breakdown, inflammation, and premature ageing. Advanced formulations work by neutralising oxidative stress, supporting DNA repair mechanisms, and strengthening the skin’s natural defence systems to limit long-term damage. By preserving cellular integrity and maintaining healthy skin function, this approach helps prevent visible signs of photo-ageing—such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and uneven tone.

Firming & Lifting

Firming & Lifting skincare is designed to restore strength, structure, and definition to the skin, creating a visibly tighter, more sculpted appearance. As the skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, it can begin to soften and sag, losing its natural contours. Advanced formulations work to rebuild this support from within—boosting firmness while helping to visibly lift and redefine the skin. The result is a smoother, more toned complexion with enhanced bounce and resilience, where facial contours appear sharper and elevated.

Reduces Trans Epidermal Water Loss

Reducing Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) is key to maintaining your skin’s optimal hydration levels. By strengthening your skin’s natural barrier, these ingredients prevent water from escaping, keeping your skin well-hydrated and plump. The result is a smoother, more supple complexion with improved texture and resilience, giving you a healthier, more radiant look.

Renewing

Renewing skincare focuses on accelerating the skin’s natural turnover cycle to reveal fresher, more refined skin beneath the surface. At the core of this process are retinoids — vitamin A derivatives that function at a cellular level to regulate gene expression, increase cell turnover, and stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother texture, improved tone, and reduced appearance of fine lines and imperfections. Phyto-retinols, plant-derived alternatives, offer a complementary approach by mimicking many of these renewal signals while being generally better tolerated, helping to enhance skin regeneration and clarity without the same level of irritation. Together, these actives promote a continuous cycle of shedding and renewal, refining the skin’s surface while supporting long-term structural improvement for a visibly brighter, more even, and rejuvenated complexion.

Scar-Repairing

Anti-Scarring skincare targets the textured scars left by acne breakouts. These scars form due to inflammation disrupting collagen and elastin fibres leading to uneven healing and indented areas. Anti-Scarring actives harness growth factors and exfoliating actives to stimulate cell repair and regeneration, optimising the skin's healing process to reduce scar formation. They also effectively diminish older scars, improving overall skin texture and leaving you with a smoother complexion and significantly reduced scar visibility.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, promoting skin cell turnover and replacing old cells with new, healthy ones. Acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs not only help shed skin but also offer benefits like brightening, clarifying, and anti-ageing, depending on the type used.

A brightening and rejuvenating blend, the Vitamin C Peptide Complex combines various types of Vitamin C to deliver powerful antioxidant protection and targeted skin renewal. This complex works to even skin tone, improve texture, and stimulate collagen production, visibly plump the skin and reduces hyperpigmentation. Rich in fruit-derived actives and peptides, it enhances cellular turnover while supporting a firmer, plumper, and more luminous complexion.

Native Kanuka

Native Kānuka is a healing and anti-inflammatory ingredient celebrated for its ability to soothe and repair damaged or inflamed skin. This unique botanical is rich in arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), potent immunostimulators that enhance the skin's natural healing process. By calming irritation and strengthening the skin barrier, Native Kānuka promotes recovery and resilience, leaving skin healthier, balanced, and visibly refreshed. Its soothing properties make it an essential component for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Sauvignon Blanc Grape Seed

Sauvignon Blanc Grape Seed, sourced from the Marlborough valleys, is a powerhouse ingredient renowned for its unparalleled concentration of polyphenols—twice as many as any other grape seeds globally. These polyphenols work to reverse visible signs of ageing, such as sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles, while providing robust protection against future UV-induced skin damage. By shielding the skin from harmful UV rays, this ingredient helps maintain a youthful, radiant complexion. Its antioxidant properties not only combat environmental stress but also promote healthier, more resilient skin over time.

Mamaku Black Fern

Mamaku Black Fern Extract, sourced from the embryonic stage of New Zealand’s native Mamaku leaves, is rich in a unique, bioactive polysaccharide that delivers both soothing and structural skin benefits. Known for its ability to calm inflammation and reduce visible redness, it also helps hydrate and smooth dry skin. This naturally occurring polysaccharide forms a biodynamic matrix on the skin’s surface, creating a protective barrier that locks in moisture while delivering an immediate lifting and firming effect, leaving skin plump, calm, and visibly revitalised.

Wild Blackcurrants

Wild Blackcurrants are nature’s UV defense, boasting the highest levels of anthocyanins among all berries. These anthocyanins act as a “plant sunscreen,” providing powerful protection against cellular damage caused by UV exposure. By safeguarding the skin from harmful rays and oxidative stress, Wild Blackcurrants help prevent premature ageing and maintain a healthy, even complexion. Their antioxidant-rich profile ensures that skin remains protected, vibrant, and nourished.

Rosehip Extract

Rosehip Oil (Rosa Canina) is a nutrient-dense oil, rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3, -6, and -9), vitamins A, C, and E, and antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene. It helps regenerate and protect the skin by supporting collagen production, enhancing elasticity, and improving tone and texture. The oil’s fatty acids strengthen the skin’s barrier, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration, while its antioxidants neutralise free radicals to reduce inflammation and slow visible signs of ageing. Known for its ability to fade scars, smooth fine lines, and even pigmentation.

Poly-Hydroxy Acids

Poly-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin. However unlike AHAs & BHAs, they consist of larger molecules so they tend to sit on the surface of the skin for longer and penetrate slowly. Therefore, they are particularly good for more sensitive skins. As well as sloughing off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion; this acid is also a fantastic hydrator.
