Revitalize, Firm & Restore Radiance
Understanding Mature Skin
After age 40, skin undergoes significant changes: collagen production decreases by 1% yearly, cell turnover slows to 40-60 days, and natural oil production diminishes. This leads to:
Visible Signs
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness
- Dull complexion
Physical Changes
- Thinner epidermis
- Reduced elasticity
- Slower healing
Dermatologist Insight: "Mature skin needs targeted actives to stimulate collagen and ceramides to reinforce the barrier. Avoid harsh stripping ingredients."
Ideal Product Textures
Opt for layered hydration with targeted treatments:
Cleansers
Creamy Formulas
Non-stripping with lipids
Serums
Lightweight Liquids
High concentration actives
Moisturizers
Rich Creams
Ceramide-enriched
Why Texture Matters:
Lightweight serums penetrate deeply without pulling skin, while richer creams create an occlusive barrier to prevent moisture loss which increases with age.
