Tell us about the new Eucerin Hyaluron Filler Epicelline Serum and how it aids the skin in looking 5 years younger.
The new Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic serum is an anti-ageing serum designed to improve and combat signs of aging that are due to external factors. It contains the innovative ingredient Epicelline which reactivates the skin’s youth genes making cells ‘behave younger again’. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid which hydrates and plumps fine lines, while Glycine Saponin boosts collagen and elastin production. Last but not least, it contains Enoxolone which promotes DNA repair and reduces the breakdown of collagen.
How would one incorporate the Eucerin Serum into their daily skincare routine?
Serums are best applied first thing after cleansing for best absorption, then followed by moisturizer and sunscreen. Similar steps apply when used in the evening except you don’t apply sunscreen.
At what age should I start using this anti-ageing serum?
The process starts as early your late 20’s and early 30’s. I would say this would be the ideal time to start using anti aging serums. Basically it’s never too early!
Can one use it with other professional treatments (like lasers, microneedling, or chemical peels) to reduce wrinkles and fine lines?
Absolutely! In fact there was study conducted by Dr Galadari, a dermatologist in the UAE, where he combined the serum with procedures such microneedling, chemical peels and even anti-wrinkle injections and the documented results from that study were impressive. So we do advocate for use of these in combination with other anti aging procedures after consultation with a qualified professional.
How do lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and exercise impact skin ageing?
External factors such as sun exposure, air pollution, lack of sleep, psychological stress, smoking , lack of exercise, poor nutrition have a significant impact on aging. These factors impact our genetic expression/ coding as well as impairing our body repairing systems leading to the ‘deactivation of our youth genes’ which leads to premature aging. This is why just simply using anti aging serums is not enough we also need to slow down aging holistically by making healthier lifestyle choices.
How often should one apply an anti-ageing serum, and should it be used with other skincare products?
I definitely recommend using with other ingredients that help slow down aging or that have anti-aging properties. My favorites would be including a good retinoid, vitamin c serum and of course sunscreen is a non negotiable. Combining these would give you amplified results.
