If you’re not getting the results you’re after with your skincare, yet seem to be adding multiple steps to your routine. Sound familiar? The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo was designed for you.
Skincare simplified. Two easy steps with impressive science — and even more impressive results.
Why The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo?
Our products are carefully designed using decades of research that tells the story of a future where we’re living longer, but our skin isn’t lasting the pace. Our dermatologist team sees the impacts of skin disease in an ageing population — the number of people over 60 set to double by 2050[1] — and they knew something had to be done.
This is our brand mission. If we first focus on improving and maintaining the health of our skin. "This is about skin health, cosmetic benefits are a welcome side effect,” co-founder Dr. Clare Kiely. The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo supports longevity, function and resiliency of our skin, which helps it stand the rest of time as we age.
What is The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo and How Does it Work?
As the name suggests, the duo comprises two simple (but effective) steps that align with the core pillars of optimal ageing. Protecting the skin from future damage and repairing past damage already done.
It’s a two-step system designed to protect against environmental stressors and UV damage while repairing our skin and restoring its barrier — all key to maintaining optimal skin health through ageing.
Morning protection
Every dermatologist, including The Skin Diary team, will tell you that great skin starts with protection. Since 80% of visible ageing is caused by UV exposure, protecting ourselves from that with daily sunscreen is crucial.
Age Defence Moisturising Day Cream with broad-spectrum SPF 50.
We’ve taken this protection even further with what we’ve dubbed as our Everything Day Cream. Containing DNA repair enzymes and antioxidants to better equip our skin and slow the signs of ageing.
It provides complete protection against UV-induced cellular senescence, inflammageing, and collagen and fibrillin breakdown — proven through independent gene expression testing carried out by Professor Mark Birch-Machin to:
-
Prevent UV-induced cellular senescence
Giving statistically significant complete protection against UV-induced P21 expression*
-
Prevents UV-induced inflammation
Complete reduction of PTGES expression to baseline levels following UV exposure*
-
Prevent the breakdown of collagen and fibrillin (elastin)
Prevents the UV-induced spike in MMP1
Night Repair
Night Repair Therapy is our hero product that works to help reverse signs of ageing through clinically proven repair.
Formulated with a combination of retinyl-ester, cell-communicating peptides, bilberry extract (a powerful antioxidant) and humectants; giving powerful retinoid benefits without any irritation.
Night Repair Therapy has been tested to the highest scientific standard — double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies in human skin — proven to:
-
Significantly reduce wrinkles in 12 weeks
-
2x collagen and fibrillin (elastic fibres)
-
Be 20x more effective than retinol
*Statistically significant complete protection proven in gene expression analysis on 3D skin equivalents exposed to high intensity UV radiation.
