?And what does it mean for skin?
we address aging. Learn what are Sirtuins, what is skin longevity and why
Sirtuins and aging go hand in hand.
WHAT IS SKIN LONGEVITY?
Skin longevity is the idea that skin naturally has the power to act and look younger than its biological age, and to maintain its peak performance longer than was traditionally thought possible. The key to activating this youth activity is Sirtuins.
WHAT ARE SIRTUINS?
They are specialized longevity proteins found naturally in every skin cell. They form a vital network in skin, helping optimize youthful cell activity such as collagen and elastin production.
HOW ARE SIRTUINS AND AGING LINKED?
Over time, Sirtuins age and their activity diminishes. This leads to diminished skin activity that has been linked to an increase in signs of aging, including lines, dullness and loss of firmness.
“We, at Estée Lauder, have now been studying the role of Sirtuins in skin... [they] are vital to keeping skin cells functioning and healthier for a longer time.”

“We have provided the proof of concept that activating or ‘turning on’ Sirtuins can reverse aspects of aging.”
