The Peptide Secrets to a Youthful Face : 1536
Summary
Dave Asprey and Carolina Reyes de Oliveira discuss One Skin’s new rich moisturizer, designed to combat age-related dehydration and menopause-related skin thinning. They explain how the brand’s proprietary peptide acts as a senomorphic to reduce inflammation and reverse biological age, outperforming rapamycin in lab tests. The conversation covers the science of the skin’s lipid barrier, the importance of cholesterol and amino acids for hydration, and practical tips for using the products on the face, hands, and body to maintain youthful, functional skin.
