These creams and serums will keep your skin healthy for years to come
Longevity clinics have gained quick popularity as of late, and are still on the rise. Committed to prevention over cure, these facilities claim to slow down the ageing process by using modern treatments like red light therapy, IV drips and cryotherapy. But the health and beauty industry’s current fixation on longevity doesn’t end with fancy treatments – with it has come a wave of products focused on long-term skin health, neatly bottled up for us to use at home. With so many to choose from, beauty journalist Olivia Falcon makes navigating this saturated skincare space a little simpler by sharing her top ten products for skin longevity.
The Best Products For Skin Longevity
VOL.U.LIFT
VOL.U.LIFT Skin Rebound Complex, £105
Best For: Ozempic face
As more women join the Mounjaro movement, the pounds may drop but skin laxity often follows. Enter VOL.U.LIFT, a high-performance formula designed to counter ‘Ozempic face’. At its core is XOSM technology, a patent-pending delivery system that drives antioxidants deep into the skin for lasting repair. It also includes line-softening bakuchiol, L-ornithine to restore volume and HA Silanol, a next-gen hyaluronic acid mixed with silicium for intense hydration.
Tursian
Radiance Booster Gel Cleanser, £50
Best For: A one-and-done cleanse
Tursian is a new science-centred brand with a tight edit of products packed with plant peptides and carefully dosed actives that really work to keep skin looking fresh. No double cleanse needed here: the intelligent formula of the Radiance Booster Gel Cleanser removes make-up and grime with non-stripping exfoliators such as Australian lime caviar extract while leaving skin feeling as soft as cashmere and visibly brighter thanks to a generous dose of Vitamin C mixed with healing algae water.
Estée Lauder
Advanced Night Repair Eye Lift and Sculpt, £65
Best For: Avoiding tired eyes
The skin around our eyes is seven times thinner than the rest of the face and is often the first place to show the signs of age. To avoid that dreaded ‘you look tired’ moment, the Lauder team has sourced the most powerful peptides – hexapeptide-8 and tripeptide-32, which work to soften four eye areas: lids, inner corners, crow’s feet and under eyes. It’s also safe for forehead lines and nasolabial folds, making the Paris filter on Instagram semi-redundant.
Sisley
Sisleÿa L’Integral Anti-Age Longevity Essential Serum, £435
Best For: A post-menopause reset
After a 2019 Stanford University study revealed the greatest skin changes occur around the age of 60, Sisley’s scientists set out to deliver a formula to tackle thinning, dull and drier skin for this age group. The serum works to reactivate communication between the immune, vascular, and cutaneous systems. A new gingko plant extract strengthens the immune system and a red algae brightens the ageing yellowing tone, with palpable results.
Dr Macrene
High Performance Face Serum, £148
Best For: Botox without the needles
‘People say they have foetus-like skin after using my products,’ laughs Dr Macrene Alexiades, NYC’s celebrity dermatologist, who with three Harvard degrees and a PhD in genetics has some serious credentials. ‘I have translated Botox, fillers and every class of device into active ingredients that give immediate and long-term results.’ Her science-led skincare has landed at The Emory, where she’ll be in residence every six weeks.
Dr Sebagh
Exo C Booster, £68
Best For: The ultimate skin boost
A new post-cleanse, pre-serum booster launches in October, designed to enhance your routine with short term radiance and long term structural repair. Vitamin C and bio-cellular collagen are delivered by plant-based exosomes, little messengers that whizz the core ingredients to your cells. Clinical trial results boast wrinkle reduction of 26.7 percent in four weeks, as the serum kickstarts your own collagen production.
Klira
The Dayscript SPF50, Klira subscription from £59 per month
Best For: Sunscreen that lasts all day
We all know we need to wear SPF daily, even on cloudy days, but getting the right dose can be hard to achieve. Dr Emma Craythorne has created a savvy solution: an SPF that is released throughout the day providing up to eight hours of protection (when not swimming or sweating). This first of its kind sunscreen is blended with multiple actives and there are four different formulations to choose from to treat specific concerns, from sensitivity to hyperpigmentation.
Lab31b
MicroPeptide Needle Power Serum, £83
Best For: Microneedling in a bottle
Like the idea of microneedling but not keen on needles? This is for you. Crystallised hyaluronic acid sheets are shattered into tiny shards and suspended in a potent peptide gel that, when patted into skin, creates tiny microchannels. The power serum feels a little prickly as you rub it in but it delivers hyaluronic acid and other active ingredients, such as patented peptides and bakuchiol, a gentle plant-derived alternative to retinol.
Skinceuticals
AGE Interrupter Ultra Serum
Best For: Face-firming
This lightweight serum is like Spanx for the face. It battles glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to collagen and elastin to form advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are the baddies that expediate premature ageing like wrinkles and skin laxity. The magic ingredient? A large dose of pro-xylane, a hybrid molecule that originates from beech trees and works to firm skin.
iNNBEAUTY PROJECT
Extreme Cream, £49
Best For: An amazing deal
Effective beauty products that won’t break the bank? Yes please. Extreme Cream has gone viral on social media with many calling it an Augustinus Bader Rich Cream dupe. As one of the most successful indie beauty brands to launch into Sephora, this is the holy grail for dehydration and it contains a bio-retinol alternative that firms crepiness. The brand invests an average of $150,000 per product on clinical testing and it shows – after a week you may feel like you don’t need make-up.
