As our skin matures, it requires a bit more gentleness and nurturing. That’s why we’ve crafted the ultimate anti-aging routine for those with delicate complexions. Whether it’s a cleanser that won’t cause flare-ups or an anti-aging cream loaded with a vegan retinol alternative, we’ve rounded up the best anti-aging products for dry, sensitive skin, so you can bid adieu to fine lines and wrinkles–without irritation. Let’s get glowing!
Step 1: Start With a Gentle Cleanser
When you start an anti-aging skincare routine, cleansing is the key first step. The accumulation of dirt, excess oils, makeup and pollutants all contribute to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Start by splashing your face with warm water and smoothing on a few pumps of our creamy Ocean Cleansing Milk, then watch every trace of debris and makeup disappear. Our most soothing, milky cleanser is packed with nourishing safflower seed oil, as well as some super-soothing botanicals like Undaria seaweed, to leave your skin feeling smooth and astonishingly soft.
Step 2: Treat With an Antioxidant Serum
Vitamin C and niacinamide are two anti-aging skin care powerhouses found in our Anti-Aging Sea Serum. Vitamin C improves brightness and radiance, while niacinamide promotes smooth skin and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Our Anti-Aging Sea Serum also features seaweed, natural peptides and ceramides to deliver smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. And there are clinical results to back it up: After two weeks of use, 94% said skin looked smoother and softer, while 88% said the look of lines and wrinkles had improved.* Give your skin the ultimate treatment with two to three pumps of our serum for a noticeable, healthy-looking glow.

Step 3: Gently Apply Eye Cream
The undereye area is thinner and much more delicate than the skin on the rest of our face, and because of constant movements and blinking — along with sun damage — it’s especially prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Eye creams are formulated to target these exact concerns. Our Advanced Repair Eye Cream deeply moisturizes and visibly firms the undereye area, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as puffiness. Formulated with bladderwrack algae and green microalgae (to smooth and illuminate skin), horse chestnut flower (to reduce the look of crow’s feet) and an effective amino acid called dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline (to visibly firm skin), this formula delivers immediate and ongoing results. After two weeks, 97% of users said their skin around the eyes was hydrated and looked smoother and healthier.* We love to apply our ultra-emollient cream before concealer — it makes all the difference in smoothing and plumping the look of skin for a beautiful, natural look.

Step 4: Use a Bio Retinol Cream
Retinol works to encourage cell turnover, making it the gold standard of anti-aging ingredients. But—and this is a big but—many people find that it can be irritating to their skin. That’s where our plant-based bio retinol cream comes in. Our Advanced Protection Cream is loaded with bio retinol to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, firm the look of skin, and promote a more radiant, even complexion. It’s also clinically proven to increase hydration by 121%. Our most indulgent moisturizer is gorgeously rich, but melts right in, leaving skin more supple, visibly firm and incredibly glowy. Infused with Undaria seaweed, a biomimetic lipid complex and moisturizing shea butter, as well as dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, it reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and is perfect for dry, mature and sensitive skin. You’ll likely see results right away. In a clinical study, after just one use:
- 97% said skin looked smoother**
- 97% said skin felt protected**
- 94% said skin felt soft & supple**
- 91% said skin looked more radiant**
** Based on a third-party consumer-perception study on 33 women ages 40 to 65 with twice-daily application after 1 day of use.
Step 5: Finish with Face Oil
People have been using face oil for centuries for good reason! It locks in all of the precious hydration and moisture from your other skincare products and leaves you fresh-faced and glowing. Our ultra-nourishing Dayglow Face Oil® sinks into skin without feeling heavy. Think of Dayglow as a your-skin-only-glowier oil without the shimmer or glitter of makeup highlighter. It turbo-charges any moisturizer but also works wonderfully on its own or over makeup as a midday pick-me-up. It’s made with the same mineral-rich Undaria seaweed as our best-selling Undaria Algae Body Oil, along with organic cold-pressed Moroccan argan oil and grapeseed oil to support a healthy moisture barrier for all skin types. It smells—in a beautifully subtle and calming way—of chamomile flowers picked at the peak of freshness. You’ll notice the glow immediately and bask in it all day long.
