What is it, and what does it actually do?

Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir is Trinny London’s answer to dull, tired, lacklustre skin. It’s like an ice bath for your face – re-energising the deeper layers of your skin and revitalising the five key signs of vitality in your complexion.

The benefits (why you won’t be able to put it down):

• Boosts circulation to wake up your skin

• Enhances cellular function – think of it like plugging your skin into a charger

• Delivers 48 hours of intense, lasting hydration where it’s needed most*

• Supports a strong, smooth barrier by significantly repairing and strengthening in just 30 minutes*

• Leaves skin looking bouncy, radiant and fresh

And what’s better is how it’s delivered. Micro-infusion technology makes sure every drop penetrates deeper, faster and more efficiently. This isn’t just surface-level skincare…

Where it fits in your routine, and why timing matters

Your routine cheat sheet:

1. Cleanse – use Match2Me to find the best cleanser for your skin.

2. Exfoliate – slosh away dead skin cells and restore balance, use Match2Me to find the best exfoliant for your skin.

3. Serum – whether this is a vitamin C or a plumping peptide serum, find the treatment of your choice using our Match2Me tool

4. Elixir – press a few drops of elixir into your face – elixir’s gentle texture makes for that luxurious feeling you get during a facial. Use morning and night for skin that looks like you drink liquified spinach and meditate for 6 hours a day.

5. SPF (only in the mornings) – See The Light will hydrate and protect, so you can avoid any further damage to the skin barrier whilst the elixir is working it’s magic.

Compare our cult favourites

What’s the difference between your Trinny London favourites and the elixir? They may all sit next to each other on your shelf, but they play an entirely different role…

Plump Up – This serum is all about structural integrity, lifting, firming, and giving skin a proper plump from within. Plump Up works on the collagen and elastin layer, providing a foundation for a firm, youthful look.

Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir – The elixir powers everything beneath the surface – boosts microcirculation, cellular function, and hydration efficiency. It not only makes your skin look alive, but wakes it up at a cellular level.

Bounce Back – Our intense peptide moisturiser locks in all the active goodness you just applied, seals the barrier, deeply hydrates, and defends your skin from all external stressors (pollution, air con, stress – a nasty culprit).

Take Back Time Eye Treatment – The dedicated under-eye hero. While the Skin Vitality Elixir is for your whole face, the eye treatment targets that delicate zone with a slightly richer texture and a focus on reducing puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.

Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir is for skin that’s lost its spark

Your daily dose of vitality, not sticky, not greasy – just a lightweight, deeply penetrating formula that gives your skin what it needs to look (and feel) alive.
