YOU CAN SEE THE YEARS

Dark spots that won't fade. Permanent redness. Lines deeper than they should be. Tired skin that makes you look older than you are. This is what happens when you spend years outdoors - surfing, skiing, commuting in cities, living in the elements - without a proper skincare routine. You knew skin damage was real. You just didn't think it would show up this soon.
Most moisturisers aren't designed to repair accumulated environmental damage. GRIFF is different.

The Extreme Exposure Recovery Complex

GRIFF is formulated around three key ingredients and powered by a supporting cast of vitamins, oils, and extracts.

START repairing your skin

Sodium Hyaluronate

When you spend years outdoors—surfing, skiing, cycling through polluted cities—environmental exposure strips essential moisture from your skin. Most formulas sit on the surface and can't reach where the damage actually happens. Sodium hyaluronate penetrates deeper where sun, salt, and wind have depleted your skin's natural hydration. It binds up to 1000 times its weight in water, delivering moisture where your skin needs it most.

Oat Extract

Sun, salt, wind and pollution break down your protective barrier the same way chronic skin conditions like eczema do, just more gradually. Oats naturally contain proteins, vitamins, and lipids that rebuild this barrier while calming redness and irritation from constant environmental assault. The FDA officially recognised oat extract as a skin protectant because it actually repairs damaged skin.

Ginger Root Extract

Years of sun exposure create dark spots and hyperpigmentation that standard moisturisers can't tackle. Ginger root extract inhibits melanin production, helping balance uneven skin tone while protecting against new spots forming. It's a powerful antioxidant that helps protect collagen—the structure that keeps skin looking firm and healthy. For people who've spent their lives in extreme conditions, ginger root extract actively fights the damage left behind: dark spots, uneven tone, premature aging.

Supporting ingredients create the foundation for relief, repair and protection:

Aloe Vera
Calms irritation and hydrates stressed skin

Lavender Stem Extract
Strengthens your barrier and locks in moisture

Pro-Vitamin B5
Draws moisture from the air to keep skin hydrated

Vitamin E
Neutralises environmental damage before it causes harm

Wheat Germ Oil
Reinforces your protective layer with essential fatty acids

What to expect from using Griff twice daily

Day 1

Instant hydration, redness calms, skin feels refreshed

Week 1

Skin feels fuller and brighter, natural glow returns, less reactive to environmental stress

Week 4

Healthier, clearer skin, fine lines soften, reduced redness and more even tone

Week 8+

Visible improvement in skin tone, texture, and resilience as accumulated damage begins to reverse

Results vary by individual and severity of accumulated skin damage. Consistent daily use (AM + PM) recommended.

Griff Environmental Exposure Guide

How The Extreme Exposure Recovery Complex™
protects against environmental damage

Sun exposure

Spending long hours under the sun disrupts your skin's barrier, breaking down its protective layer and directly damaging cells. UV radiation causes immediate damage—redness and irritation—while also triggering long-term effects: premature aging through collagen breakdown, melanin overproduction leading to dark spots, and dehydration. Prolonged exposure increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates visible aging far beyond your actual years.

WHY THE GRIFF FORMULA WORKS

Sodium Hyaluronate penetrates deep to rehydrate your skin - reaching the layers where repair can occur, not just the surface.

Oat Extract helps calm redness caused by UV radiation while strengthening your protective barrier, providing immediate soothing relief from sun exposure.

Ginger Root Extract inhibits the production of melanin in response to sun exposure - helping prevent new dark spots from forming while helping balance skin tone.

Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection against free radicals generated by UV exposure, shielding against premature aging.

water exposure

Saltwater strips your skin of its natural oils and protective barrier, leaving it dehydrated despite being immersed in water. The salt pulls moisture out of your skin, disrupting its natural protective balance. Combined with minerals and ocean pollutants, prolonged water exposure weakens the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritation and environmental stressors. Your skin becomes tight, rough, and prone to cracking.

WHY THE GRIFF FORMULA WORKS

Sodium Hyaluronate rapidly restores hydration by binding up to 1000x its weight in water, replenishing moisture that saltwater has stripped from deep skin layers.

Oat Extract repairs and strengthens your skin's protective layer, restoring the barrier that water exposure has disrupted while providing immediate soothing relief to tight, irritated skin.

Wheat Germ Oil reinforces the skin barrier with essential fatty acids (Omega 5 & 6), helping rebuild the layer that protects against moisture loss and environmental exposure.

Lavender Stem Extract enhances barrier function and locks in moisture - critical when saltwater constantly tries to strip it away.

air quality and polution

Urban pollution, exhaust fumes, and airborne particulates settle on your skin, generating free radicals that damage cells and accelerate aging. Pollutants penetrate the skin barrier, triggering irritation and oxidative stress. This leads to dullness, uneven tone, increased sensitivity, and compromised barrier function. Pollution also exacerbates the effects of other environmental stressors—making sun damage worse, hindering skin's natural repair processes, and contributing to premature signs of aging like fine lines and loss of elasticity.

WHY THE GRIFF FORMULA WORKS

Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals generated by pollution exposure before they can damage skin cells, acting as your first line of defense.

Ginger Root Extract provides powerful antioxidant protection, helping calm irritation caused by pollutants while supporting skin's natural defense mechanisms.

Oat Extract strengthens the skin barrier to prevent pollutants from penetrating deeper layers, while providing soothing relief from existing exposure.

Sodium Hyaluronate supports skin's natural detoxification and repair processes by maintaining optimal hydration levels—healthy, well-hydrated skin is more resilient against pollution damage and recovers faster.

COLD AND WIND EXPOSURE

Cold air lacks moisture, and when combined with wind, it rapidly dehydrates exposed skin. Wind strips away the skin's protective layer, leaving it vulnerable and compromised. The combination causes immediate effects—redness, chapping, tightness—and long-term consequences: weakened barrier function, increased sensitivity, irritation, and accelerated aging. Skin becomes rough, flaky, and prone to micro-cracks that allow irritants to penetrate. Repeated exposure without protection leads to chronic irritation and premature loss of elasticity.

WHY THE GRIFF FORMULA WORKS

Sodium Hyaluronate forms a protective, breathable film on the skin surface that reduces water loss, locking in moisture even in harsh, dry conditions. 

Oat Extract creates a natural barrier that shields skin from wind damage and provides fast-acting relief to windburn and cold-induced irritation.

Wheat Germ Oil reinforces the skin barrier with essential fatty acids, replacing the protective layer that cold wind strips away and preventing moisture loss.

Aloe Vera soothes windburn and chapped skin immediately, providing relief to the acute irritation caused by harsh weather.

HOW TO APPLY

STEP 1

Apply after cleansing, morning and evening. Focus on areas most exposed to environmental stress: face, neck, and ears.

STEP 2

Use as your primary treatment step. If using sunscreen, apply after GRIFF has fully absorbed (1-2 minutes).

STEP 3

Apply immediately after surfing, skiing, cycling and other outdoor activities while skin is still slightly damp to lock in maximum hydration.

How is this different from regular moisturisers?

Most formulas use ingredients that can't penetrate deep enough to reach where years of sun, salt, and wind have broken down your skin. GRIFF uses a form of hyaluronic acid with smaller molecules that gets to the layers where the damage actually happened. And instead of just adding moisture, our Extreme Exposure Recovery Complex targets what went wrong: your protective barrier breaking down, chronic redness from constant exposure, dark spots forming, and deep dehydration.

Will this work if I've had sun damage for years?

Yes. GRIFF's formula helps prevent new dark spots from forming while existing ones fade. It repairs the barrier damage that causes redness, and rehydrates the deeper layers to replenish your skin's natural moisture. Skin damage takes years to show up. It takes time to fix. But with consistent use, our Extreme Exposure Recovery Complex works.

How long until I see results?

First week: your face looks fuller and brighter, redness calms down, weathered skin feels hydrated again. Three months in: skin tone evens out, texture improves, dark spots begin to fade.

Why don't you have SPF in the formula?

Because repair and prevention are different jobs, and combining them makes both worse. GRIFF repairs accumulated damage using ingredients that actually work. A moisturiser needs to absorb deep into your skin. SPF needs to sit on top to form a protective barrier. When you combine them, they compromise each other—the moisturiser dilutes the SPF, and products claiming SPF 30 often deliver closer to SPF 10 or 12. Apply GRIFF after washing your face. Give it a minute or two to absorb. Then apply a standalone SPF. You get full benefits from both—hydration and repair underneath, protection on top.

Is this only for men?

No, anyone with environmental damage can use it. We focus on men because there are fewer options for men's skincare and less information out there. But sun, salt, wind and pollution damage affects all skin types. If you spent years outside and you're seeing the effects, this works for you.

What does it feel like?

A lightweight formula that absorbs in under a minute. No grease or shine, and your skin feels hydrated right away.

Is GRIFF only for surfers?

No. We built it for the harshest conditions—which for us meant surfers. High UV, wind, salt, cold water. It doesn't get tougher on skin. If the formula works for people spending hours in those conditions, it works for anyone dealing with environmental damage. Doesn't matter if that damage came from surfing, skiing, commuting in cities, or just years of being outside without protection. The damage is the same.

Is your packaging sustainable and recyclable?
