SickScience’s new body-sculpting serum, DropOff ($48), aims to address concerns like cellulite, sagging skin, and stretch marks. The serum is designed to work at the molecular level, promoting a “firmer, smoother look and feel” for the body.
SickScience Unveils Biohacking Body-Sculpting Serum with Advanced Nx35 Technology Powered by Biotech. The serum features a complex peptide ingredient known as NX35, or Sh-decapeptide-1 sr pineapple stem bromelain, which combines synthetic peptides with pineapple stem enzymes. This biohacking technology is said to “send precisely coded instructions to cells, triggering a specific and effective response,” according to the brand.
These instructions are intended to “rewrite corrupt biological code and send messages to correct cellular activity,” leading to improvements in skin firmness, texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
Key ingredients in the serum include:
- Matrixyl 3000: A peptide from Sederma that stimulates collagen production and enhances skin firmness.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates the skin while reducing the visibility of fine lines.
- Caffeine: A natural stimulant that may help diminish the appearance of cellulite.
According to an 8-week clinical study with 50 participants:
- 92% noticed a smaller waist
- 88% experienced reduced cellulite and dimpling
- 87% reported better skin texture
- 98% said their skin felt more nourished
- 81% observed fewer visible stretch marks
Additional benefits of the SickScience body sculpting serum include targeting lipid droplet reserves in fat cells, improving skin elasticity, reducing sagging, preventing stretch marks, and nourishing the skin. Earlier this year, the brand launched its first product, ShapeShift, which also utilized NX35 technology and generated significant consumer interest due to positive feedback.
SickScience is a biotech research company focused on developing regenerative therapies for various applications, including cancer treatment and skin health. It was founded by Turkish genetic and bioengineering experts, Polen Koçak-Denizci, Ph.D., and Merve Yildirim-Canpolat, Ph.D.

How do you foresee NX35 technology influencing skin and hair care? Y-C: NX35 Technology is poised to revolutionize the future of skin and hair care by utilizing cutting-edge biotechnology, particularly through exosome-based therapies and regenerative medicine. Exosomes play a crucial role in cell communication, allowing us to specifically target skin issues such as aging and pigmentation. This approach has the potential to provide personalized treatments tailored to individual skincare needs.
Are there additional applications for this technology beyond the face and body? Y-C: We initially developed this technology for critical areas like cancer treatment and wound healing. Our ongoing research aims to unlock the full therapeutic potential of exosome-based therapies, exploring how they can facilitate cellular repair and support treatment for chronic conditions. While our focus is currently on skincare and haircare, we see the potential for broader applications in healthcare.
What other new NX35 products are in development? Y-C: NX35 Technology isn’t limited to skincare; it can also be applied to supplements and wellness products. We’re actively exploring how to expand our line to address overall health, providing holistic solutions that go beyond cosmetics.
