Longevity skincare goes a step further by focusing on keeping skin healthy for as long as possible. Rather than simply masking surface-level concerns, it aims to optimise how skin cells function to deliver long-term results. This can be done by regenerating collagen, reducing inflammation-causing cells or reactivating natural processes that help maintain a youthful complexion. Think of longevity skincare as insurance for your skin and here are the best products to promote this.

The bad news is that our natural levels of collagen start depleting (from our mid-20s). Elemis’ renowned Pro-Collagen range harnesses an ingredient called Padina Pavonica, a marine-derived seaweed extract that bolsters collagen levels in the skin, helping to support them and even increase them with use. We love the whole range but especially love the fact that this cream has SPF added to it (to help prevent sun damage, which is a killer for collagen levels and skin health in general).

A patented complex reboots these, helping to extend the youthful lifespan of the skin and actually undoes damage that’s already been done. As to the effects you’ll see in the mirror, clever additions like red vine extracts boost luminosity and reduce the grey tone of the skin (that can creep in as time passes), and ginkgo visibly firms and adds radiance to the complexion.

One major find is included in this bouncy cream: Absolue PDRNTM, a trio of actives that boosts cell longevity metabolism via activating cell communication and preserving cell structure, helping cells to actually behave in a younger way. Sifting through the science, what you need to know is that this is proven to reverse five years of ageing in one month.

The complex works to reduce the number of senescent ‘zombie’ cells (old, damaged cells that remain in the skin and cause inflammation over time) and prevent them from reappearing, keeping your skin stronger and firmer for longer. Although the results should be long-lasting, you don’t need to have a huge amount of patience to see them, as clinical trials showed skin should be visibly smoother in just one week.

Caudalie’s sumptuous, plumping Premier Cru cream boasts the latter, thanks to its ‘Caudalie x Harvard Longevity Patent’. Activated by the brand’s signature ingredient, resveratrol – a firming, smoothing extract derived from grapevines – the formula helps stimulate longevity proteins in the skin, boosting collagen and elastin production.

An extra from the rare Moonlight Flower is the secret to this, and it’s especially effective in this rich eye cream, which helps to smooth and firm the delicate skin around that area which is prone to showing the signs of ageing faster than anywhere else on the face.

If you want those benefits but are nervous about the vitamin A (retinal), don’t be. Here, it’s encapsulated which helps to stabilise it, meaning a negative reaction from your skin is far less likely. Proven to visibly lift and re-volumise in just four weeks – with 100% of trial users seeing an increase in skin elasticity – if you’re going to dip your toe into retinal products, this is a good place to start.

This silky, whipped moisturiser uses a cell-preserving ingredient, Telessence M3, to protect them from the effects of stress-induced DNA damage and also to help them produce an increased level of antioxidants. If that all sounds a bit confusing, just focus on this: the formula is clinically proven to improve the structure of your skin by over 35% in less than a month.
