SkinCeuticals has earned its place as one of the pioneers of skincare. Its C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum, for example, has amassed reams of fans across the globe, including dermatologists who are quick to lend their name to the brand. And now, says Dr Wassim Taktouk, Aesthetic Doctor at the Taktouk Clinic, a new launch is set to reach star status. ‘SkinCeuticals new A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum is a leap in anti-ageing skincare,’ he says. The serum, which is triple-patented and clinically backed, is already making waves. But what exactly makes this new launch so exciting? ‘Glycation is the natural process that accelerates visible signs of ageing, breaking down collagen. This serum is an ideal option for my patients wanting an at-home treatment to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and elasticity.’ Here’s why SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum is set to become your new summer favourite.
What does the SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum do?
In short? Quite a lot- though that won’t exactly surprise brand devotees. The serum is inspired by collagen-stimulating treatments like ultrasound, which can help achieve a more lifted look. It works by flooding the skin with active ingredients - including a high concentration of 30% Proxylane and 4.6% Wild Fruit Flavonoids, known for their ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and laxity caused by collagen decline and glycation. There are also what the brand calls ‘synergistic ingredients’ - including Rhamnose and Gentiana Lutea Root Extract. These work together to brighten, leading to a more even skin tone and plumper visage. And there’s proof, too: In a clinical study of 76 subjects, the skin in three areas was visibly lifted- the jawline, the forehead, and cheeks. There was also a reduction in the appearance of nasolabial folds. While these firming results are best seen with consistent use, some effects are immediate- skin is hydrated for up to 24 hours and, in just one hour, the skin barrier is strengthened.* Consider this one of the key ‘hard workers’ in your skincare routine.

• 30% Proxylane: A patented active ingredient that targets laxity and wrinkles.
• 4.6% Wild Fruit Flavonoids: Blueberry, pomegranate and cassia alata act as an antioxidant-rich power.

How to use the SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum
The serum should be applied once or twice daily. Simply take one dropper of the formula and dispense it into the palm of your hand. Dab across the forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck before blending in.
Our Verdict
Rachael Martin, Grazia Beauty Director, says:
When I hear of a new SkinCeuticals launch, you can bet it has me at hello. This one, in particular, is a launch I can get behind. Made with more mature skin in mind, my mum has been testing this on my behalf - and she has more than just a few thoughts. Mum said her skin felt plumper and more lifted after just a month of consistent daily use. High praise - I will say that her skin does look more fresh and radiant, suggesting that the 15+ years of glycation research have truly paid off within the brand’s efficacious formula.
Final Thoughts
I’m confident in saying this isn’t just another serum. It’s research-driven, backed by experts and clinical studies, and boasts a luxe formula that visibly lifts where you need it. With patents and real results to support it, if you’re feeling gravity a bit more these days, adding this into your regimen is a great idea. All of the glow, and none of the downtime. Shop the SkinCeuticals serum, as well as the full complementing routine below.

One of the brand’s bestsellers, this antioxidant-rich serum helps to fortify the skin’s defences against environmental aggressors - great for improving 8 signs of ageing. It’s been an integral part of my own beauty routine for years and trust me when I say the tone- and texture-improving formula gets to work quickly. I have sensitive, combination skin and often find Vitamin C serums can cause breakouts- but not this one. I apply it every morning before my moisturiser and SPF.
This skin-firming serum contains a potent concentration of Proxylane- 30% to be exact -and 4.6% Wild Fruit Flavonoids. This powerful combination helps visibly reduce signs of ageing caused by collagen decline and glycation, including the appearance of wrinkles and laxity. Use daily for best results.
A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is a potent corrective cream designed to reverse visible signs of ageing linked to collagen decline and glycation, such as the appearance of wrinkles, laxity, and dullness. Formulated with 18% concentrated Proxylane (+20% more than the previous A.G.E. Interrupter), this advanced cream smooths 5 visible wrinkle types, including fine lines, deep wrinkles, and location-specific creases like nasolabial folds. Apply twice daily- in the morning after Vitamin C and before SPF, and again in the evening after retinol.
Dark circles and wrinkles can stem from collagen decline, but this next-gen eye cream may be the answer. Targeting the effects of collagen degradation and glycation, A.G.E. Advanced Eye features 0.2% Glycyrrhetinic Acid and 3% Matrix 3000 Peptide to minimise the appearance of wrinkles. It also contains 0.5% Caffeine and Inclusive Optical Effects to diffuse light and brighten. ‘This is hands down the best eye cream I have ever used,’ says Dr Taktouk. High praise indeed.
