The secret to skin vitality

Skincare doesn’t need to be a 12-step routine with nine serums you can’t pronounce. Sometimes you just need your basics and one potent formula – Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir. This isn’t a whimsical fairytale potion, it’s a clinically proven* breakthrough formula.

Understanding elixirs in skincare

What exactly is an elixir?

Think of an elixir as a supercharged serum’s chic older sister. At Trinny London, elixirs are highly concentrated treatments designed to slot into your skincare routine like a missing puzzle piece, addressing specific concerns like dehydration, dullness and tired skin.

Why care about the skin barrier?

If your skin was a fortress, the barrier would be its outer wall. It keeps moisture in, toxins and waste out, and generally keeps things running smoothly. Damage that wall – via harsh products, sun, stress, or modern life stressors – and your skin will become irritated, dry and lacklustre.

Key ingredients in Take Back Time Elixir

Take Back Time Elixir delivers advanced active ingredients backed by science and meticulously formulated by Trinny London Lab.

Trehalose – A sugar molecule, not just here for the sweet stuff, it’s a hydration heavyweight. It binds water to your skin like a thirsty sponge, keeping it plump and happy all day.

Artichoke Polyphenols – No, this isn’t a Stanley Tucci recipe. These sophisticated plant compounds trigger a host of rejuvenating actions while activating proteins responsible for collagen production and firming, giving your skin its bounce and elasticity.

Squalane – Think of this as your skin’s BFF. It mimics your natural oils, locking in moisture, smoothing texture, and reinforcing the barrier like a big hug.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil – Packed with nourishing fatty acids, your skin will be left feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom.

Pro-vitamin B5 – The glow-getter. It smooths, regenerates, and brings luminosity back to dull, tired skin.

What’s even better is how your skin absorbs all of this goodness – micro-infusion technology. This technology uses high-pressure blending methods to create tiny, ultra-fine droplets that can penetrate more easily into the skin to deliver intense nourishment, exactly where it’s needed, without the weight.

Think of it as Royal Mail special delivery guaranteed by 1pm, as opposed to carrier pigeon.

Micro-infusion technology allows for cellular-level restoration, renewal and protection – as we age, our microcirculation network’s efficiency diminishes, leading to slower cell function and reduced skin vitality.

Keeping our microcirculation network happy and healthy by providing a supply of nutrients and oxygen also helps our cells to do key tasks, like removing waste and toxins.
