Ekseption Skincare for Ageing Skin and Loss of Firmness

Ekseption Skincare for skin ageing

Skin ageing is a natural process. As the skin ages, its production of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and natural lipids decreases. This can make wrinkles, fine lines, dryness, pigmentation and loss of firmness more visible.

In addition to genetic and hormonal factors, sun exposure, pollution, stress, insufficient sleep, smoking and lifestyle influence how the skin ages. UV exposure is one of the main contributors to premature skin ageing. An effective age-supporting routine should therefore combine targeted active ingredients with hydration, barrier support and daily sun protection.

Ekseption offers several products to hydrate mature skin and address the visible appearance of wrinkles, dullness and loss of firmness.

Important ingredients for ageing skin

• Retinol supports skin renewal and helps reduce the visible appearance of wrinkles and uneven texture.
• Peptides support a firmer and smoother-looking complexion.
• Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E help protect the skin against free radicals.
• Hyaluronic acid binds moisture and helps plump the appearance of dehydration lines.
• Caring lipids support the skin barrier and limit moisture loss.
• AHAs and PHAs exfoliate the skin, helping improve texture and radiance.

All Day Shield SPF 50

Daily sun protection is the most important step in helping limit premature skin ageing and new pigmentation. Apply SPF 50 every morning, particularly when using retinol, vitamin C, activators or peels.

Morning routine for ageing skin

1. Remove make-up and sunscreen.
2. Cleanse the skin gently.
3. Apply a hydrating peptide or hyaluronic acid serum.
4. Apply Ultim-Eyes Cream around the eyes.
5. Finish with Ice Cream Lift, Age-Less Cocoon or a suitable repair cream without adding another intensive active product.

Evening routine with retinol

1. Cleanse and allow the skin to dry fully.
2. Apply Super Retinol Fluid according to its directions.
3. Follow with a simple moisturiser if required.
4. Avoid other exfoliating or potentially irritating active ingredients that evening.
5. Always apply SPF 50 the following morning.

Which products combine well?

• Vitamin C in the morning with Age-Less Cocoon and SPF 50.
• Hyaluronic Peptides with Ice Cream Lift.
• Hyaluronic Copper Peptides with a hydrating maintenance cream.
• A peptide or hyaluronic acid serum on evenings without retinol.
• Ultim-Eyes Cream as dedicated care for the eye contour.
• Post-Peel Glacier Mask when the skin needs additional hydration and comfort.

Which combinations require extra care?

Use only one intensive active product within the same evening routine. Without professional guidance, do not combine:

• Super Retinol Fluid with Ice Cream Repair or Caviar Repair, as these creams also contain retinol.
• Retinol with Pure Skin Activator, Ferulic Activator or another resurfacing activator.
• Retinol with Super Salicylic Fluid.
• Retinol with Triple Acid Peeling Mask.
• Retinol immediately before or after an intensive peel.
• Several exfoliating acids and cleansing powders in the same routine.

Alternate retinol evenings, exfoliation evenings and recovery evenings. If the skin becomes red, dry, sore or sensitive, pause the active products and temporarily focus on gentle cleansing, hydration and barrier-supporting care.

How to introduce retinol

Begin with two evenings per week. If the skin remains comfortable, gradually increase to three or four evenings. Daily use is neither necessary nor suitable for every skin type. Use retinol at night and apply SPF 50 every morning.

Retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult a medical professional if you are unsure.

What can you expect from age-supporting skincare?

Age-supporting skincare can improve hydration and make wrinkles, dehydration lines, pigmentation and loss of firmness appear less noticeable. Results develop gradually and require consistent use. Cosmetic skincare cannot completely remove deep wrinkles or significant skin laxity.
