Hero Ingredients
Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde, or Tretinoin)—Gold standard for boosting collagen and smoothing fine lines
Peptides (Matrixyl, Argireline)—Stimulate skin repair and improve texture
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)—Brightens skin tone and protects against photoaging
Bakuchiol—A plant-based retinol alternative that reduces lines without irritation
Ceramides—Strengthen the skin barrier and retain moisture
Recommended Supplements
Collagen Peptides (10–20g daily) – Supports dermal density and skin elasticity
Hyaluronic Acid (120–240 mg daily) – Hydrates from within, reducing the look of wrinkles
Vitamin C (1000 mg daily) – Enhances collagen synthesis and protects against oxidative aging
Coenzyme Q10 (100–200 mg daily)—Supports mitochondrial function and visibly reduces wrinkle depth
Silica (from Bamboo Extract or Horsetail, 50–100 mg daily)—Reinforces collagen structure and firmness
Suggested Care Routine
Morning:
Gentle Cleanser – pH-balanced, non-drying formula
Antioxidant Serum (Vitamin C + E + Ferulic)—Brightens and protects against oxidative stress
Peptide Serum or Moisturizer – Firms and plumps the skin
Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50+ – Daily non-negotiable for wrinkle prevention
Evening:
Double Cleanse (optional if wearing makeup/SPF) – Start with oil cleanser, then gentle second cleanse
Retinoid Application – Start 2–3 nights a week and increase frequency gradually
Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides—to counteract dryness from retinoids
Overnight Peptide or Collagen Cream – Supports repair during sleep
Lifestyle Tips
Sleep on your back with a silk pillowcase to prevent sleep lines
Manage stress levels to reduce cortisol-related collagen breakdown
Limit sugar intake—glycation accelerates aging of collagen and elastin
Prioritize hydration and healthy fats (avocado, flaxseed, olive oil)
Consider facial massage or gua sha for circulation and lymphatic drainage
