Collagen forms the foundation of beautiful skin, and while that depreciates as we age, SkinCeuticals has an A.G.E. anti-ageing power duo that helps to prevent glycation and rebuild collagen and elastin from within, for brighter, tauter and smoother complexions
Let’s face it—we all want smooth, plump, radiant skin. But whether we’re genetically born with it, or making every effort to attain—and maintain—it, the inevitable always happens eventually: think fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, uneven texture, and sagginess.
While time will take its toll, there are ways to prevent or slow down this natural process of age-, time-, and unfavourable lifestyle habits-related process: a daily skincare ritual that targets Advanced Glycation End Products, also known as A.G.E.s.
The foundation of bouncy, healthy skin is collagen. Collagen functions as the scaffolding of your skin—it provides structure and strength, keeping complexions firm, smooth and plump from within. But as we age, the skin’s in-built collagen production systems naturally decrease, the same way our joints face a certain level of degeneration over time. Realistically, collagen levels start to decline as early as our mid-twenties, which is why we face fine lines by 30 and even deeper wrinkles by 40.

For most of us, however, premature or expedited ageing is even more inevitable, as this occurs when exposed to UV rays, pollution, smoking, stress and unhealthy diets high in sugar and deep-fried food—all traits of the urban lifestyles we lead. These all trigger skin glycation, where sugar molecules in your body attach to proteins like collagen and elastin in your skin, forming harmful Advanced Glycation End Products (A.G.E.s) that cause collagen and elastin fibres to become stiff and brittle, breaking down the skin structure and in turn, making way for wrinkles, cross-hatched lines, and crepey, thinning skin.
Targeting exactly this is SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. anti-ageing power duo: the A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Corrective Cream and the reformulation of A.G.E. Advanced Eye Cream.

An advanced corrective anti-ageing cream that zooms in on preventing collagen ageing and skin glycation, the next-generation SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Anti-wrinkle Face Cream specifically targets visible signs of ageing caused by A.G.E.s, such as wrinkles, loss of skin firmness and dullness. It does so with a formulation powered by 18 percent concentrated Proxylane (20 percent more than the previous A.G.E. Interrupter), a key ingredient that helps to boost collagen production; 4.25 percent wild fruit flavonoid blend to inhibit glycation; and a new addition of 0.1 percent glycyrrhetinic acid that counters dullness directly linked to A.G.E. accumulation.
As a targeted treatment, this seeks to rebuild collagen and skin density by 30 percent while focusing on five deep wrinkle types that are commonly honed in on during aesthetic procedures: forehead, glabellar and marionette wrinkles, to crow’s feet and nasolabial folds or what we also know as smile or laugh lines that form between the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. And as a moisturiser, it delivers a luscious dose of hydration, leaving skin soft, plump and with a satiny finish.
While moisturisers are already part-and-parcel of most, if not all, skincare routines, many surprisingly don’t prioritise eye creams early enough. The skin around the eyes is not only the thinnest and most delicate, it’s also an area that faces the most movement from facial expressions—thus being the first area where fine lines and signs of ageing reveal themselves.

The SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye is the latest innovation, a highly concentrated corrective eye cream that addresses the appearance of dark circles, crow’s feet lines and puffiness—all concerns related to A.G.E.s and part of skin health’s natural degeneration. This, too, features a potent percentage of collagen-stimulating Proxylane (2.8x more than its earlier reiteration, the A.G.E. Eye Complex), a concentrated flavonoid blend and Matrixyl 3000, a powerful biomimetic peptide that boosts the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This eye cream is also formulated with caffeine, which aids circulation to help reduce puffiness and dark circles; as well as an inclusive blend of optical diffusers to immediately amp up skin radiance across all skin tones. Over eight weeks, tests have shown that the A.G.E. Advanced Eye improves over 10 attributes linked to skin ageing and glycation, addressing concerns like crow’s feet, puffiness, dark circles and tautness, along with 24-hour comforting hydration that sits seamlessly under make-up as well.
