Understanding Cellular Aging and Skincare
One Skin is a groundbreaking skincare product developed by a team of female skin longevity scientists. Unlike typical skincare, which often yields only surface results, One Skin works at a cellular level targeting a fundamental aging process known as cellular senescence. This process involves aging cells that cease normal function, contributing to deeper wrinkles and thinner skin. By utilizing a peptide called OSO1, One Skin effectively switches off these senescent cells, addressing the root cause of skin aging and improving both skin barrier function and hydration, particularly during colder, drier months.
