Reverse Aging Skin, Target ‘Zombie Cells’, and OneSkin’s Revolutionary Peptide with Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD

What if you could slow down skin aging at the molecular level? This week, we’re joined by Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of OneSkin, a company at the forefront of longevity science. Carolina shares the groundbreaking innovations behind OS-01, a peptide designed to target senescent cells (zombie cells), which accelerate skin aging. By reducing these cells, OS-01 works to rejuvenate skin from the inside out, promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance. OS-01 switches off the damaged cells that contribute to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. We dive into the science behind skin aging, the future of skincare, and how a holistic approach can support long-term skin health. If you're curious about cutting-edge skincare backed by science, this episode is for you!

Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD is the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin and an advocate for healthy aging. After earning her doctorate in immunology, she relocated from Brazil to Silicon Valley to pursue her goal of using science to help prevent age-related diseases. Under her leadership, OneSkin has made significant strides toward this mission, starting with their proprietary OS-01 peptide, the first peptide scientifically proven to reverse skin’s biological age.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Understand the Role of Zombie Cells: Learn about senescent cells, also known as zombie cells, which accumulate with age and contribute to skin aging. Focus on skincare products that target these cells to promote healthier skin.
Choose Products Wisely for anti-aging: Prioritize skincare products backed by scientific research. Look for those that contain peptides like OS1, which are designed to reduce zombie cells and stimulate collagen production without causing irritation.
Balance Exfoliation: Limit exfoliation to a few times a week to avoid compromising your skin barrier. Over-exfoliating can lead to increased sensitivity and potential skin issues.
Incorporate a Holistic Approach: Maintain a healthy diet and consider supplements like omega-3s to support skin health. Ensure your skincare routine complements your overall health and wellness practices.
Research and Validate: Before purchasing skincare products, investigate the brand's research and clinical studies. Avoid products with potential irritants like fragrances and essential oils, and use resources like Skin Safe and the National Eczema Foundation for guidance.
