Skin Repair & Renewal

How PDRN and copper peptide support the skin's natural renewal for a firmer, smoother and more revitalised-looking complexion.

Understanding Skin Repair & Renewal

Your skin renews itself approximately every 28 days through a constant cycle of cell turnover. But this renewal cycle slows with age - by your 50s, the cycle stretches to 40-60 days. The result: a duller complexion, accumulated signs of environmental stress and a loss of the "glow" associated with youthful-looking skin.

Supporting the look of renewed skin goes deeper than surface exfoliation. It's about supporting the skin's own renewal so it looks firmer, smoother and more revitalised, and helping defend it against the UV and environmental stress that speed up visible aging.

What Slows Skin Repair?

Slower Renewal
As we age, the skin's natural renewal cycle slows, so dull surface cells linger longer and the complexion looks tired and less radiant.

Environmental Stress
UV and pollution place daily stress on the skin. Younger skin copes with this well, but over time the visible effects build up - a rougher texture, uneven tone and loss of glow.

Loss of Firmness
The skin's support structures weaken with age, so it can look less firm and less bouncy, with more visible fine lines.

Reduced Resilience
Everyday stress on the skin gradually makes the complexion look less resilient and slower to bounce back, which is why supportive, revitalising skincare becomes more important with age.

The Renewal Approach

Rather than forcing faster cell turnover through chemical exfoliation (which can thin the skin), renewal-focused skincare supports the skin's own natural processes. PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) - salmon-derived polynucleotides - and copper peptide GHK-Cu are both valued in skin science for supporting a firmer, smoother and more revitalised-looking complexion.

This approach supports the look of healthy, renewed skin as part of a routine, for deeper, more lasting-looking results.
