Senolytics: substances that work deep inside

In recent years, skincare has developed from offering superficial solutions to taking scientifically-tested approaches. One term that we keep hearing is “senolytic substances”. The related technology is geared to combat skin ageing at cellular level – real progress in the area of slow ageing, as well as a genuine instrument for longevity. But what are senolytic substances? And how can they help your skin to look younger and more radiant?

What are senolytic substances?

Our skin cells are constantly undergoing a natural renewal process. However, with increasing age or because of negative environmental impacts such as stress, air pollution or exposure to UV rays, some cells become senescent.

Such cells – known as zombie cells – no longer divide or perform their intended functions. Instead, they start emitting substances that promote inflammation. This inhibits the regeneration of new, healthy cells, and accelerates skin ageing.

Senolytic substances may be able to pinpoint these cells and precisely eliminate them.

What effects do senolytic substances have on the skin?

• Removal of zombie cells: senolytic substances clean up the skin by eliminating harmful, ageing cells.
• Promotion of cell regeneration: once zombie cells have been eliminated, the regeneration of functional cells is promoted.
• Skin looks better: fewer zombie cells may mean fewer inflammations. This in turn leads to smoother, firmer and healthier-looking skin.
• Long-term results: unlike short-term skincare solutions, senolytic substances boost general vitality at cellular level by combatting ageing processes at their roots.

Senolytic skincare approaches therefore work directly in the spirit of the longevity concept which goes far beyond short-term effects. It aims not only to make the skin look more youthful, but also to keep it healthy and resilient over the long term.

Senolytics in skincare

Senolytic substances originate in medical research, most notably in geriatric medicine. This senolytic science has also made its way into our FRESH Lab. This is where we’ve been working with passion on creating the perfect synergy between a new, patented senolytic component and other substances that are essential to slow-ageing care.

The result? FRESH anti wrinkle serum. This serum’s sophisticated formula stands for the next generation of ageing research in skincare, and sets new benchmarks for long-term results.

The highlights at a glance:

• Willow herb extract is a patented senolytic substance that specifically pinpoints and eliminates ageing cells that no longer function, i.e. zombie cells.
• 4 highly effective anti-ageing peptides with a Botox effect
• Extremolytes for hydration and protection against environmental stress
• Paracress which has an instant lifting effect on fine expression lines
• Olive sprout stem cell extract to support cell renewal and skin regeneration
