Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

Take a good look at your same-age friends. Chances are, some of them still look fresh-faced while others seem to have aged a little less gracefully. Sure, the former might be blessed with good genetics, but external factors AKA epigenetics play a huge part too!

A great example is identical twins, who have the exact same DNA and yet can age completely differently.

Here’s what’s exciting: there’s a new cutting-edge skincare ingredient that dermatologists are calling the “Holy Grail” of anti-ageing - Epicelline®. This never-before-seen ingredient can reverse ageing from external factors, effectively moving those in Team Aged to Team Youthful.

How Does Epicelline® Active Ingredient Work? 

Skincare has always only focused on treating ageing on the surface, but scientists and dermatologists have now uncovered the real root cause: silent youth cells that switch off over time.

An unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and a poor diet are among some of the negative factors that can switch off your youthful genes. This leads to signs of ageing like wrinkles, sagging skin and dark spots.

After 15 years of research and testing 50,000 active ingredients, Eucerin has finally reached a breakthrough in skin science and discovered something that switches on youth cells at cellular level.

It’s none other than Epicelline®, the first-ever skincare ingredient proven to reactivate these dormant youth cells, fighting 10 signs of skin ageing.

Epicelline® In Skincare: Eucerin Epicelline® Serum

The good news? This ingredient is now on the market in a skincare product - the Eucerin Epicelline® Serum.

This serum is the real deal. There are clinically proven results where testers saw a 78% wrinkle reduction in 4 weeks, making them look up to 5 years younger.

The results speak for themselves. Look at just how dramatic the difference in the skin is after using the Eucerin Epicelline® Serum. There’s a visible improvement in skin texture and evenness, with less fine lines and wrinkles. The serum has also been proven to boost firmness, hydration and radiance, while having a lifting and rejuvenating effect.

Ernie Zakri, Malaysian Celebrity & Singer, is a fan! She raved about the Eucerin Epicelline® Serum, sharing that "After 4 weeks of use, [her] skin feels smoother, deeply hydrated, and noticeably bouncier. [She] was genuinely amazed at how it delivered on its promise - [her] skin truly looks up to 5 years younger. It’s been a game-changer in [her] routine!"

Along with Epicelline®, the serum is also formulated with hydrating skincare ingredients. They include Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful skin thirst-quencher, Glycine Saponin, a soya bean extract that increases Hyaluronic Acid production, and Enoxolone, which stops the degradation of skin‘s own Hyaluronic Acid by more than 50%.

I jumped at the chance to try this serum and am happy to report that it lives up to all the hype! It has a lightweight, silky formula that sinks into the skin beautifully and immediately relieves dryness and itchiness.

Over time, I noticed that my skin was brighter, smoother to the touch, and overall, refreshed and healthy-looking. Best of all, my nasolabial folds, an insecurity of mine, were less noticeable which made my face look much younger. And besides the aesthetic glow-up, it’s also such a mood-booster to feel like I’m in control of my skin ageing.

The cherry on top? This non-invasive solution to getting youthful skin will only set you back $103.90 for a 30ml bottle - a total steal for what you get!

Don’t just take our word for it; Try it for yourself and you’ll see why this product is such a gamechanger for anti-ageing skincare. And once the results show, expect your mum, sis and besties to borrow (*cough cough* steal) your new serum too. Jio them to Watsons Ngee Ann City from 17 to 23 March where you can all experience the breakthrough of Eucerin Epicelline® Serum first-hand. There are also massive gift-with-purchases in store for shoppers!
