Farm Stay Super Lines: Hyaluronic Acid, Peptide 9, and Plant Stem Cell
When Farm Stay labels a product Super, it signals the brand's higher-performance tier - formulas with a heavier active load or a more specialized ingredient story than the standard range. Three distinct Super sub-lines exist across the range: Super Aqua (hyaluronic acid saturation), Super Vitalizing (nine-peptide complex plus brightening), and Super Active (plant stem cell extract). Each runs across several product types, making it possible to build a specialized routine within a single sub-line.
Three Super lines: what each one does
Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua - maximum hydration delivery. Hyaluronic acid at high concentration in toner, emulsion, eye cream, and cream. Best for dehydrated skin of any type that needs sustained water-binding throughout the day.
Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing - nine synthetic peptides plus the Citrus Vitalizing brightening complex. Works on both dullness and early firmness loss. The ampoule and eye cream are the core treatment products; the cleansing foam is an add-on that keeps the peptide ingredient story through the cleanse step.
Dermacube Plant Stem Cell Super Active - plant stem cell extract (a cell-conditioning biotechnology ingredient) in a cream, eye cream, and lighter water cream. Targets skin renewal and resilience. The most technically positioned of the three sub-lines.
Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua: the complete range
The Super Aqua products form a full routine stack:
- Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua Toner 200ml - large-format hydrating toner with HA as the primary active
- Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua Emulsion 200ml - companion emulsion to the toner, layering hydration
- Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua Eye Cream 45ml - periorbital treatment targeting under-eye dehydration
- Collagen Super Aqua Cream 80ml - note: this product combines the Super Aqua positioning with collagen; it bridges the Hyaluronic Acid and collagen ranges
The toner and emulsion in 200ml sizes support the double-application layering technique common in Korean routines.
Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing: how peptides and brightening work together
Peptides are short amino acid chains that act as messenger molecules in skin - they signal fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. The Peptide 9 complex in this line uses nine specific peptides chosen for collagen stimulation, elastin synthesis support, and barrier repair. Layered with the citrus-brightening base from the Vitalizing range, the combined effect is improvement in both tone and firmness:
- Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Cleansing Foam 180ml - peptides in the cleanser step deliver mild conditioning even during cleansing
- Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Ampoule 100ml - the core treatment product; higher peptide concentration
- Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Eye Cream 50ml - periorbital peptide treatment
Dermacube Plant Stem Cell Super Active: what plant stem cells do
Plant stem cell extracts in cosmetics are derived from the undifferentiated cells of specific plants (often rare botanical varieties) and are concentrated for their growth factor and phytohormone content. In the Dermacube Super Active line, plant stem cell extract is positioned to support skin cell renewal and stress resilience - it works by creating an environment conducive to more efficient skin self-repair rather than delivering a direct active effect like a vitamin C or retinoid. The three products:
- Super Active Cream 80ml - richer occlusive finish
- Super Active Eye Cream 50ml - periorbital renewal support
- Super Active Water Cream 75ml - lighter texture version of the Super Active for oily-skinned users or summer use
Sample routine: Super Aqua hydration focus
For a dehydration-focused routine using the Super Aqua sub-line:
AM: Cleanse → HA Super Aqua Toner (double-apply) → Collagen Super Aqua Cream → HA Super Aqua Eye Cream → SPF
PM: Cleanse → HA Super Aqua Toner → HA Super Aqua Emulsion → Collagen Super Aqua Cream → HA Super Aqua Eye Cream
The double-application of the toner (two layers of toner per session) significantly increases the hydration delivered before the cream seals it in. The emulsion adds a second humectant layer in the PM routine for extra repair overnight.
Can you combine products from different Super sub-lines?
Yes. A practical combination for skin with dehydration plus early firmness loss: HA Super Aqua Toner (hydration base) → Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Ampoule (peptide treatment) → Collagen Super Aqua Cream (seal and moisture). This pulls from two sub-lines but the layering logic is correct - thinnest to thickest, humectant before occlusive. The Dermacube Super Active Water Cream also works as a lightweight option to close a Peptide 9 routine without a heavier cream.
When to upgrade from the standard Farm Stay range to a Super product
The standard Farm Stay range (Collagen Water Full Moist, Citrus Citron) is effective for most users and skin types. Consider moving up to a Super product when: standard hydrators are not lasting through the day (Super Aqua); brightening alone is not addressing early fine lines (Peptide 9); skin is recovering from stress, UV damage, or shows dullness that does not respond to standard antioxidants (Dermacube Super Active). The Super lines are not necessary for everyone - they are a meaningful upgrade for specific concerns, not a default starting point.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Super mean in the Farm Stay product range?
Super is Farm Stay's marker for higher-performance formulations. Three Super sub-lines exist: Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua (maximum hydration), Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing (nine peptides plus brightening), and Dermacube Plant Stem Cell Super Active (plant stem cell renewal). Each represents a step up in active concentration or ingredient specialization from the standard Farm Stay range.
Which skin types benefit most from the Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua line?
Any skin type with persistent dehydration - dehydrated oily skin is as common a candidate as dry skin. Hyaluronic acid is water-binding, not occlusive, so it is not heavy on oily skin. The Super Aqua toner and emulsion suit all skin types. The Collagen Super Aqua Cream is richer and better for normal-to-dry skin; oily types can stop at the emulsion step.
What do the nine peptides in the Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Ampoule actually do?
Peptides are short amino acid chains that function as messenger molecules. The nine peptides in this formula collectively signal the skin to increase collagen and elastin production, support barrier repair, and in some cases inhibit muscle microtension (a mechanism targeted by Argireline-type peptides for expression lines). The combined result over consistent use is improvement in skin firmness, texture, and the reduction of fine lines driven by collagen loss.
What are plant stem cells and how do they work in the Dermacube range?
Plant stem cells are undifferentiated cells from specific botanical sources, concentrated for their growth factor and phytohormone content. In cosmetics they are used to create a skin environment that supports more efficient cell renewal and stress recovery. The Dermacube Super Active line uses this extract to target skin resilience and renewal - it is not a direct active like vitamin C, but a conditioning ingredient that works over time with consistent use.
Should I apply the HA Super Aqua Toner twice in a row?
The double-application technique (applying toner twice per session) is especially effective with the 200ml HA Super Aqua Toner - the large size makes it practical. Apply the first layer with a cotton pad or palms, allow it to absorb for 30 seconds, then apply a second layer and pat in. This drives deeper hydration than a single application. The 200ml size is large enough to sustain daily double-application for 3 to 4 months.
What is the difference between the Dermacube Super Active Cream and the Water Cream?
Both contain plant stem cell extract, but the Super Active Cream (80ml) is richer and more occlusive - suited to dry to normal skin or evening use. The Super Active Water Cream (75ml) is lighter with a gel-cream texture that absorbs faster, suited to oily or combination skin and daytime use in warm weather. If you are unsure which to choose, the Water Cream is the safer first pick for most skin types.
Is there any benefit to using the Peptide 9 Cleansing Foam versus a regular cleanser?
Peptides in a rinse-off product like a cleanser have minimal contact time on the skin, so the direct peptide benefit is modest compared to the ampoule or eye cream. The main value of using the Peptide 9 cleansing foam is consistency within the sub-line and the foam's non-stripping formulation, which preserves whatever the previous evening's peptide treatment deposited. If you are invested in the Peptide 9 routine, it rounds out the line; if you already have a cleanser that works, keeping your current one is also fine.
How do I use the Hyaluronic Acid Super Aqua Eye Cream?
Apply a small amount (a grain of rice size) around the orbital bone using the ring finger with a tapping motion. Do not apply directly on the eyelid or rub. Use morning and evening after toner and before heavier cream. The HA formula is particularly effective for under-eye lines caused by dehydration - the difference is often visible within a few days of consistent use.
Can I combine products from the Super Aqua and Peptide 9 lines?
Yes - a practical layering combination: HA Super Aqua Toner (hydration base) → Peptide 9 Super Vitalizing Ampoule (peptide treatment) → Collagen Super Aqua Cream or Dermacube Super Active Water Cream (seal). Each layer serves a different function so there is no conflict. Apply in order from thinnest to thickest texture.
When should I upgrade from standard Farm Stay products to a Super line?
When standard hydrators stop lasting through the day, move to the Super Aqua line. When brightening is not addressing early fine lines or firmness loss, try the Peptide 9 Vitalizing Ampoule. When skin shows stress-related dullness or slowed recovery after damage, consider the Dermacube Super Active. The Super lines are meaningful upgrades for specific concerns - they are not required for users whose current routine is working well.
Are Farm Stay Super products on skinsli genuine?
Yes. Skinsli sources all Farm Stay products through authorized Korean distributors. All items arrive in original sealed packaging with Ministry of Food and Drug Safety export certification and intact batch codes. No reformulation or repackaging takes place in transit.
The Peptide 9 Ampoule is 100ml - is that the right size for a treatment ampoule?
100ml is larger than a typical serum (30 to 50ml) but smaller than the 250ml All-in-One ampoules in the Farm Stay range. The 100ml size reflects that the Peptide 9 Ampoule is used as a concentrated treatment step (a few pumps after toner) rather than a multi-step replacement. At two to three pumps per use once daily, 100ml lasts approximately 2 to 3 months - a reasonable lifespan for a treatment product.
