Reverse Aging & Reduce Inflammation with OneSkin’s Carolina Oliveira | 287 | Kelly LeVeque

Peptides

Peptides are chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins, playing crucial roles in skincare by influencing collagen production and cellular behavior. Carolina Oliveira explains that peptides can act as messengers, entering skin cells to activate DNA repair pathways, reduce inflammation, and increase collagen production 1. However, not all peptides penetrate the skin effectively, making it essential to ensure they reach the dermal layer to be effective. Kelly LeVeque highlights the importance of understanding how peptides function and their potential to reverse aging 2.

It's super interesting and very exciting to see what we can actually do when you really use the science.

This scientific approach ensures that consumers can trust the results, as OneSkin aims to provide credible and effective skincare solutions.

   

OS-O1 Peptide

The OS-O1 peptide, developed by OneSkin, is a breakthrough in reversing skin aging by targeting senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells." Carolina Oliveira shares that this peptide can reduce these cells by up to 50%, leading to increased collagen and hyaluronic acid production, and a decrease in genes associated with aging 3. This peptide has been shown to reduce the biological age of skin by 2.6 years in just five days under lab conditions. Oliveira emphasizes the importance of targeting the root causes of aging, which can also apply to other tissues beyond the skin 4.

We want to be the leading company that delivers the most effective product to reverse the age of the skin.

This innovative approach sets OneSkin apart in the skincare industry.

   

Scientific Testing

OneSkin employs rigorous scientific methods to test their peptides, focusing on reversing skin aging by measuring the biological age of the skin. Carolina Oliveira explains that their research targets the accumulation of senescent cells, a central driver of aging, ensuring that their products are both effective and safe 5. By developing models for skin aging and conducting clinical studies, they validate their products' ability to reduce the biological age of skin at the DNA level. Kelly LeVeque appreciates the research-backed approach, which distinguishes OneSkin in the market.

It's very difficult to make an impact on aging, but we knew that we would only bring something to the market if it was something really meaningful.
