Episode notes
Host's Six-Month OneSkin Experience
- Erin used OneSkin exclusively for six months and noticed changes others commented on.
- Her interest in non-invasive alternatives led her to try the brand and share it with listeners.
Lab Tests Revealed Market Gaps
- Carolina discovered many bestselling anti-aging products either failed or caused inflammation in lab skin tests.
- She saw an opportunity to target aging differently by focusing on cellular drivers rather than surface effects.

- Senescent "zombie" cells accumulate in skin and drive inflammation, collagen loss, and neighbouring cells to age.
- Targeting and reducing these cells lets healthy cells produce more collagen and restore skin function.
