This page answers three questions: what Decoy can help you care for, what a session is like, and what every ingredient in our Active Ampoules does. You have the right to know what goes on your skin.
Decoy is a non-invasive beauty technology brand. Both programmes use the Decoy device’s AirMist™ airflow misting, each with its own Active Ampoule; MIRROR also contains PeptiCarrier™ and uses the full Tri-Layer Delivery™.
Light — skin that carries its own glow.
Mirror — seeing a version of yourself you like.
Assess → Plan → Care → Review. We tell you each step before it happens.
We talk about what you care about, your routine, your skin and your history, and check that today is a good day for it.
What we’ll do, how large an area, how long, and why — all explained first. We tell you what may improve, and what the limits are.
Using AirMist™ airflow misting, the Decoy device turns the serum into a fine mist that settles evenly over the skin — no needles, no wounds. You’ll hear the airflow and feel something like a light elastic flick; sensations vary, and you can pause at any time.
Every session is recorded with the help of a non-invasive ultrasound device, and the record belongs to you. At the end of each stage we review together, then decide whether and how to continue.
Makeup, work and exercise are all fine afterwards. At home, keep skin hydrated, use sun protection and rest well — that’s the best way to carry it on.
Plans are built around your goal — for example 3 sessions over 4 weeks or 6 over 8 weeks — with a start, an end and a stage review. Whether to begin, and how, is always your call.
Airflow, not needles. The Active Ampoule formulas were developed by an R&D team with a National Taiwan University background. The Decoy device was developed by a PhD team from the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC) and is exclusively licensed to Acheloy Biomed. R&D, quality and compliance are overseen by Acheloy Biomed.
Over ten thousand sessions served.
We believe technology shouldn’t fight the body — it should help us care for it more precisely.
More about Tri-Layer Delivery™ →Used in Precision Body Delivery, with PeptiCarrier™ active peptide carrier. Built around caffeine, Camellia™ Alishan Jin Xuan complex and red algae extract, for firmness and protection.
Not the one in your morning cup. In skincare, caffeine is often used around the eyes and on the body to help skin look firmer and more awake. It is also an antioxidant that helps skin cope with everyday environmental stress.
Camellia™ pairs Alishan Jin Xuan (TTES No. 12) tea extract with EGCG. Low-temperature extraction keeps the catechins — well-studied antioxidants that help skin stand up to sun and pollution and stay calm and comfortable. The raw material has completed skin-irritation testing and a 50-person human patch test.
A copper-rich mineral extract. Copper is a trace element skin relies on for its own defences; in skincare it helps skin resist environmental stress.
A red alga grown in a lab by a French supplier, so no wild seaweed is harvested. In skincare it helps skin feel firmer and plumper. It received a BSB Innovation Award for most innovative natural active.
Soybeans fermented by natto bacteria, rich in small peptides and amino acids that help hydrate and nourish skin.
A synthetic peptide with a sequence identical to one found in the human body. In the formula it acts like a guide, helping the active ingredients absorb well into skin, and it conditions skin in its own right.

Used in Precision Facial Delivery. Built around B vitamins, low-molecular hyaluronic acid, collagen and peptides, for hydration, glow and fine lines.
New in the upgraded LIGHT formula. Sourced from grouper skin from Taiwan’s local fisheries — a by-product put to good use — and hydrolysed into small collagen peptides (under 2,000 Da) that hydrate, firm and help maintain elasticity.
One of the most researched skincare ingredients. It helps skin look after its protective layer, so it dries out less easily and looks more even and luminous.
A member of the B-vitamin family that helps skin hold on to water, leaving it hydrated and soft.
A Himalayan plant traditionally used as a bitter herb. In skincare it helps maintain elasticity and slow visible signs of ageing.
Converts to vitamin B5 on the skin. It hydrates, soothes dryness-related discomfort and helps care for the skin.
A gentle classic that calms skin and leaves it smooth.
Hyaluronic acid in smaller fragments — an old friend of hydration. It helps skin take in and hold water so it looks dewy and plump. This is a skincare humectant, not the injectable kind.
Often called “hexapeptide”, used to care for expression lines — helping fine lines look softer.
Together with B3, B5 and inositol, it rounds out the B-vitamin family in LIGHT to condition the skin.
Some hydrate, others keep the formula stable and safely preserved. Full list below.
