AGE Smart™ is an innovative system introduced by Dermalogica to change the way skin ageing is approached, and is now available through Alex Louis Skin Care.

Most products advertised as 'anti-ageing' promise to minimise, or even erase, the visible signs of skin ageing, such as wrinkles, crow's feet and fine lines - but no wrinkle is completely curable.


Dermalogica believes the best approach is to treat skin ageing at its source, addressing the biochemical reactions that trigger changes in skin before they start. The AGE Smart™ skin care technology involves:

• Defending the skin against the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), also known as free radicals



• Blocking the generation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes activated by UV exposure or inflammation



• Combating the development of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), a reaction with glucose (sugar) that can affect proteins, including the skin's collagen
