My Precision Skincare Stack Is on Its Way: What's in the Box and the Order I'll Use It In

I ordered the Precision Skincare Stack on September 28, the day MAKE launched it. It shipped on October 2 from Salt Lake City, and the last update on the tracking page says it is crossing the border on its way to a carrier hub. No delivery date yet.

Skincare has always been a favourite of mine. Movie nights with friends turned, in random moments of spontaneity, into clay masks, sheet masks and at-home facials. Today I mostly use products from The Ordinary. MAKE's ingredient list is the reason I ordered on day one.

What is in the box

Three products, built to work as one ritual: one you drink, two you apply.

RENEWED is the inside step. It is a hibiscus-berry drink, 30 sachets of 6.4 grams, and each one carries 4.66 grams of what MAKE calls the DermaSignal Matrix: collagen peptides, a natural hibiscus peptide complex, pomegranate extract, sodium hyaluronate and the amino acids glycine, proline, lysine and L-glutamine. Add 240 mg of vitamin C, zinc, copper and selenium. MAKE designed it to help support the body's natural collagen-signaling process, hydration and glow. HYDRATED already rides in my water bottle all day, so a daily drink is a habit I know I can keep.

REVIVED is a 30 gram serum with a button dropper. Its peptides come from Sacha Inchi, a star-shaped seed from a vine in the Peruvian Amazon, and it pairs them with goji berry exosomes, which MAKE describes as plant-based exosome technology. Green tea, pomegranate and hibiscus are the antioxidant trio, with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid at several weights. MAKE built it for smoother, firmer-looking skin.

REPLENISHED is a 50 gram emulsion on a pump. The peptides here come from pea and teff seed, next to argan plant stem-cell technology, a triple ceramide complex (NP, AP and EOP), squalane and bakuchiol. MAKE's list for it includes a brighter, more even-looking complexion and the look of firmness and bounce. Its scent comes from bergamot and grapefruit peel oils, so patch-test it first if essential oils bother your skin.

Why this line got me excited

MAKE calls the idea under all three products the SPA Method: Signal, Preserve, Amplify. The peptides support the skin's own signaling for visible renewal and firmness, the antioxidants help reduce visible oxidative stress, and the hydration layer improves the look of texture, elasticity and radiance. A drink works from the inside while two topicals work from the outside, aimed at the same result. I go through every ingredient and the science behind it in the full Precision Skincare explainer.

Dr. Mark Bartlett, MAKE's Chief Science Officer and co-founder, puts it this way on each of the three product pages: "When we understand skin as a living communication network, peptides become more than ingredients. They become precision skincare ingredients designed to support visibly healthy-looking skin." Peptides as signals is the same idea behind the MAKE products I already use, from RESTORED at night to HYDRATED during the day. Seeing MAKE carry it into skincare made me hit the order button.

Bought separately, the three products add up to $319.97. The Stack brings them to $249.99, or $224.99 a month on Subscribe and Save, rising to 20% off from the fourth consecutive month. Those are US dollar prices as of October 2026 and may change. If you already spend on skincare every month, the Stack can take that spot in the budget. MAKE also refunds a first purchase of any product within 60 days of delivery, even partially used.

The order I'll use it in

A card showing the three Precision Skincare steps in order: REVIVED serum, REPLENISHED emulsion, and the RENEWED daily drink.

  1. REVIVED first. Two to four drops on the fingertips, pressed and tapped into the face and neck until absorbed.
  2. REPLENISHED second. After the serum, three to four pumps smoothed over the face and neck with upward motions until absorbed.
  3. RENEWED once a day. One packet mixed with 8 to 10 ounces of water.

Those three steps follow MAKE's directions from the product pages. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last, as it would with any routine.

The habits chapter of Darren Hardy's The Compound Effect says to install a new habit as an addition rather than a subtraction, and to set up the environment so the good choice is the easy one. Two steps added to a skincare routine I already keep, one glass of water I already drink, and the bottles kept where I will see them fit that rule.

Ordering from Canada

MAKE ships to the US and Canada, priced in USD. I ordered from the Canada side of the store, and the catalogue there is the same as the US one, skincare included. The charge is in US dollars, so your bank converts it at its own rate.

The invoice read "LIMITED TIME FREE Shipping & Handling" with shipping at zero, and the store shows a banner offering free shipping to Canadians for a limited time, with no end date. The box left Salt Lake City with one company, and a Canadian delivery partner takes over after the border. While a parcel crosses, the tracking page can sit on the same status for a while, which is where mine is now. I wrote more about how MAKE works for Canadians, and about what peptides do for skin, if you want the background.
