Let’s be honest, your skin deserves better than watered-down creams and lab-made Frankenstein disasters. If you’ve been piling on store-bought toxic ingredient moisturizers hoping they’ll erase fine lines and bring back that glow... it’s time for an upgrade.
Enter: the anti-aging serum. A glass bottle packed with skin-loving powerhouses that go deeper, work smarter, and actually make a difference. Not trendy nonsense. Not empty claims. Just results you can see—and feel.
Did you know that a majority of high-end serums use human cells either from placentas or foreskin from circumcised babies? The hospitals sell these off to the cosmetic industry without your knowledge or consent.
I discovered this, and I knew I had to make something better without the stolen body parts.
Why Serums Actually Work
Unlike thick petroleum-based creams that sit on the surface of your skin, serums are formulated to penetrate deep into your skin’s layers, delivering potent active ingredients where your skin needs them most. They’re lightweight but concentrated, like a laser-focused treatment for every skin concern from dullness to sagging, dehydration to discoloration.
Think of it like watering the roots instead of just misting the leaves. Serums don’t just coat your skin, they nourish it from within, feeding your cells with ingredients that trigger real change.
Because serums are water-free or low-water formulations, they skip the fillers and go straight to the active compounds. That’s why even a few drops can do so much more than a heavy jar of store-bought junk cream.
The Problem with Store-Bought Serums
Walk down any beauty aisle and you’ll find shelves full of anti-aging serums, many with price tags that sting. But what’s actually inside? Often: water, silicones, preservatives, artificial dyes, synthetic fragrances, and lab-made chemicals your skin doesn’t even recognize.
And don’t forget….stolen body parts in the high end serums.
These mass-produced formulas are designed for shelf life, not skin health. Many store-bought serums include dimethicone, which creates the illusion of smooth skin while clogging pores. Others include alcohols that dry out your skin or added fragrance that irritates sensitive skin.
And that “anti-aging” label? Mostly marketing. Without effective concentrations of truly active ingredients, and without the clean, nourishing oils and botanicals your skin craves—they do very little.
Worse, some synthetic anti-aging serums actually increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, or trigger breakouts and inflammation. Why pay more for results that never come or make things worse?
The Real Stars of Anti-Aging Skincare
When it comes to proven, natural anti-aging ingredients, three stand above the rest: Bakuchiol, Sea Buckthorn Oil, and Coenzyme Q10. These aren’t filler, they’re game changers, and I built my formula around them.
Bakuchiol: Retinol’s Calmer Cousin
Bakuchiol is a plant-based alternative to retinol, offering all the anti-aging power without the harsh side effects. It smooths fine lines, boosts collagen, and helps improve skin tone and texture. But unlike retinol, it’s gentle and doesn’t cause dryness, redness, or peeling.
Clinical studies have shown that bakuchiol can rival retinol in effectiveness, stimulating collagen production and cellular turnover while calming inflammation and increasing skin elasticity. For sensitive or reactive skin types, it’s a no-brainer.
If you’ve ever given up on retinol because it irritated your skin, or you’re pregnant or nursing and can’t use it, bakuchiol gives you the benefits without the drawbacks.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: Nature’s Multivitamin for Skin
Sea buckthorn oil is rich in over 190 bioactive compounds and packed with antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and essential fatty acids, including omega-7, a rare fatty acid that supports skin repair and regeneration.
This vibrant orange oil helps:
- Fade dark spots and scars
- Calm inflammation and redness
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Support collagen synthesis
It’s ideal for mature, stressed, or sun-damaged skin, delivering a visibly healthy glow without heaviness or clogging pores. With consistent use, it leaves skin brighter, bouncier, and more resilient.
You can find this soothing and nourishing ingredients in our small-batch made cleansing oils as well.
Coenzyme Q10: Energy Boost for Your Skin Cells
CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant in your body, but as you age, levels start to decline leaving your skin vulnerable to damage and slowing its ability to repair itself.
Adding CoQ10 topically helps recharge your skin cells, energizing them to repair and rebuild. It boosts collagen, improves elasticity, and protects against oxidative stress from sun exposure and pollution.
When paired with other antioxidants (like those found in sea buckthorn), CoQ10 enhances your skin’s ability to fight signs of aging and maintain firmness.

How to Use a Serum the Right Way
- Cleanse first – Always apply to clean, slightly damp skin to enhance absorption.
- Use 3-5 drops – A little goes a long way. Warm it between your fingertips.
- Pat, don’t rub – Gently press it into your skin, especially around eyes and lips or wherever you feel you have wrinkles or fine lines.
- Follow with moisturizer – Follow with a clean moisturizer. Our Age-Defense tallow balm will add to the anti-aging effect of the serum.
- Don’t forget SPF – Especially in the morning. Anti-aging starts with protection.
Pro tip: Use it both morning and night for faster, more noticeable results.
When Should You Start Using an Anti-Aging Serum?
In your 20s: Think prevention. Your collagen levels begin to decline by your mid-20s. Starting now keeps your skin strong and resilient.
In your 30s and beyond: Now’s the time to support your skin’s natural repair process. A quality serum helps restore elasticity, fade sun damage, and maintain firmness.
In your 40s, 50s, and up: Your skin is thinner and more prone to dryness and wrinkles. Using a concentrated serum helps replenish nutrients and visibly soften signs of aging.
No matter your age, it’s never too early—or too late—to nourish your skin the right way.
What to Expect (Yes, Results Take Time)
Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Here’s what to expect:
2 weeks: Skin feels softer and more hydrated. Glow starts to return.
4–6 weeks: Texture improves. Fine lines look softened.
8–12 weeks: Skin appears firmer, smoother, and more even-toned.
The key? Consistency. Give your skin time to respond to real nourishment.
Final Take: Skip the Hype, Keep the Serum
Trendy skincare fads come and go. But high-quality, ingredient-rich serums? They’re here to stay.
Our skin recognizes natural, botanical ingredients. It absorbs them, uses them, and thrives on them. This isn’t skincare that fights your body—it works with it, unlike lab-made skincare that is built to keep you addicted.
No harsh chemicals. No empty promises. Just rich, nourishing oils and powerful botanicals that deliver visible, lasting change.
