Unapplied Changes
Actives that go further without complicated steps
The Skin Diary began not with trends, but with a clinical observation. People are living longer, and their skin isn’t keeping up.
Their founding dermatologist team saw first-hand the rising burden of skin disease in an ageing population, with the number of people over 60 set to double by 2050. They knew something had to change.
Focus on nurturing skin health and the cosmetic outcomes will follow. This insight became The Skin Diary’s mission. The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo supports skin longevity, function and resiliency—helping skin stand the test of time and reap the rewards. The dermatologist approach is not complicated and it doesn’t require 12 steps.
For this topical skincare approach, only two core elements must be present. First, protect the skin from future damage. Second, repair past damage. This two step, easy and highly efficacious routine embodies this mission to have better skin function and a more youthful appearance. It’s science-led skincare, simplified.
Two-Step Ageing Solution
The Ultimate Skin Ageing Duo is clinically proven to protect against UV and environmental stressors, repair skin at a cellular level and restore the skin’s barrier function—key functions for optimal skin ageing.
“Skincare is more than trivial; it’s about skin health, and our skin lasting the pace. Cosmetic benefits are a welcome side effect.”
Dr. Clare Kiely, Consultant Dermatologist, Mohs Surgeon and Co-Founder of The Skin Diary
Step 1: Morning protection
Any proven ageing skincare routine needs to start with protection; that’s non-negotiable. Since 80% of skin ageing is caused by UV rays, protecting ourselves from them is crucial. But The Skin Diary has taken it a step further with DNA repair enzymes and antioxidants to further reduce damage and slow the signs of ageing.
Age Defence Moisturising Day Cream is everything your skin needs to shield from daily damage. With encapsulated sunscreen, DNA repair enzymes and antioxidants, it provides complete protection against UV-induced cellular senescence, inflammageing, and collagen and fibrillin breakdown—proven through gene expression testing.
Proven through independent testing carried out by Professor Mark Birch-Machin to:
- Prevent UV-induced cellular senescence Giving statistically significant complete protection against UV-induced P21 expression.
- Prevents UV-induced inflammation Complete reduction of PTGES expression to baseline levels following UV exposure.
- Prevent the breakdown of collagen and fibrillin (elastin) Prevents the UVinduced spike in MMP1.

*Statistically significant complete protection proven in gene expression analysis on 3D skin equivalents exposed to high intensity UV radiation.
Step 2: Nighttime repair
Night Repair Therapy is more than a night cream. Proven in human skin biopsies, it works beyond visible repair to reverse signs of ageing at a cellular level; rewinding skin’s damage to behave younger in order to appear younger.
It works by using a careful combination of retinyl-ester, cell-communicating peptides, bilberry and humectants; working synergistically to outperform retinol—without any redness or irritation.
Tested with double-blind, placebo controlled clinical studies in human skin, proving that it helps repair the skin at a structural level. Helping your skin last the pace through the privilege of ageing.
Tested to the highest scientific standard, proven to:
- Significantly reduce wrinkles in 12 weeks
- Double the collagen and fibrillin (elastic fibres) in the skin
The most effective topical skincare doesn’t just protect the skin; it helps your skin repair itself. Welcome to the dermatologist approach to skin longevity; science-first and simple to follow.
