We have sooooo many great products for ageing skin on our website. No surprise really, as watching your skin getting older isn’t fun. Which ones do we actually use ourselves though? To give you a better insight into our range, we’ve put our anti ageing skin care review out there for all of you to read. That way, you can see what we’ve tried and how it went!
Meg’s Anti Ageing Skin Care Review
“Oh where to start on this one! Everything that I use is anti aging, and I tell you what, I do think that they’re working, because a few months ago when I was packing up my house, I was looking through old photos, and I honestly feel like my skin is the one thing that has improved with time. Body shape, not so much, but skin, yes.
Today I have chosen one of my favourites – Societe Intense Firming Complex, to review. Not only does it feel smooth and silky, it delivers the goods. Here’s the down low:
What is it?
Societe Intense Firming Complex is a creamy serum that uses a combination of peptides and antioxidants to firm and tighten the skin. In actual fact, the peptides and antioxidants in this serum are the most potent you will find in a serum. Not only these, it also contains hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin, although I do still sometimes use the Societe Intense Hydration serum.
Peptides?
Peptides are strings of amino acids, which are the building blocks that make proteins in our body, including collagen in our skin. They also make up the elastin fibres, which add tissue firmness and elasticity. Without these, we see wrinkles.
Antioxidants?
These are what fight and protect you from free radical damage that is and has been caused by the sun, pollutants and radiation. Antioxidants will help you to recover from these stresses, help the skin to repair itself, reverse signs of ageing, heal and help prevent sunburn and brighten your overall skin tone. The most common form of antioxidant is vitamin C, but there are many others such as vitamin A, E and Resveratrol.
How and When to use:
I use this serum morning and night. It is really helpful for those in-between anti-wrinkle injections to keep you looking fresh, or for those who don’t wish to have anti-wrinkle injections at all. Also a great preventer – so basically what I am trying to say, is that it is brilliant for everyone!”

Julie’s Anti Ageing Skin Care Review
“Well I think I’m the most qualified out of our team for this review.🤣
I remember when I first began here at The Skin Care Clinic, a former, brutally honest colleague, told me after analysing my skin, that it was prematurely ageing… OMG… disaster!!!!
After my head stopped spinning around like something out of ‘The Exorcist’, I began to hear advice drifting past my ear, and thought I’d better snap out of my horror and listen very carefully. She may only say this once, and I will be way too skin shamed to ask that lovely colleague to repeat herself. I didn’t need to panic, as everything was written down for me in black white, so my old brain could soak it up at its own pace… slowly.
Of course I began the regime immediately, and it was literally only a few days in and I could see changes happening. I stuck diligently to this regime and products for at least 8 months, before even contemplating trying something else. A bit silly in hindsight, when you are surrounded by such wonderful products every day. Thing is, I keep going back to those products time after time, I just love them, and they made such a difference.
This was my prescribed routine to stop the spinning head, slam the brakes on, jam it into reverse and head off toward better skin.
AM
Cleanse: Osmosis MD Purify Enzyme Cleanser
Serum: Osmosis MD StemFactor
Activator Mist: Osmosis MD Boost (formerly ‘Clear’)
Moisturise: Aspect Hydra Shield (now also available in Aspect Dr)
PM
Cleanse: Osmosis MD Purify Enzyme Cleanser
Serums: Osmosis MD Calm and Catalyst AC-11
Activator Mist: Osmosis MD Boost
Moisturiser: I honestly can’t remember. But currently using Osmosis MD Enrich
One of the most interesting things about this routine is, if you skip the activating mist, you really notice it, so always, always, use the mist after your serums. The products include all the good stuff for reversing damage and preventing any more, like antioxidants, retinaldehyde, growth factors etc. etc.
So if you are post menopausal like me, or even if you’re not, but worried about ageing skin, give this routine a go, it may just help keep those skin devils away, and exorcise the ones already there having fun on your skin. 👿”

Phillipa’s Anti Ageing Skin Care Review
“If you’re desperately searching for where to start with anti ageing, then you can’t go past the Aspect Dr Kits. There is a Starter, ABC and Age Management option, and all will give your skin the right start! The reason for this, is that making sure your whole routine is working for you is actually very important. We have loads of great serums with antioxidants, peptides and other firming ingredients. If you aren’t starting with a complete basic skin care routine though, you won’t see results as quickly as you may like. That’s why this kit is so well considered, as you have the right balance of Cleansing, Antioxidants, Vitamin A and Moisturising to get your skin started.
Of course, once your skin is used to this balance, that’s when you start to see where the “gaps” are in your routine.
For me, the gaps are the slow, but not slow enough, wrinkles forming around my eyes following my precious little girls. As well as the pigmentation that’s darkened… thanks life! It has nothing to do with turning 40 this year, of course not!!! LOL
I’ve used CosMedix Opti Crystals in the past and loved it, but am now trialling Societe Ultimate Eye Lift System and I do love the balance between the nourishing eye moisturiser and tingly peptide serum eye roller. This duo has definitely made inroads to soften and fill out my eye wrinkles. I’ve also added the Societe Intense Firming Complex in and the tingly feeling of it is very satisfying!
Once I’ve used up my current skin care I’m definitely curious to try Julie’s Osmosis MD routine though, as we see so many great results in clinic with it. Considering the price though, I think Aspect Dr has created great options to getting started with Anti Ageing skin care routines!!!”

Rosie’s Anti Ageing Skin Care Review
“Societe Intense Firming Serum is an amazing serum full of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid. Plumping, firming, smoothing and toning the skin are just a few of the benefits you notice almost instantly. Antioxidants fight free radical damage that cause cell damage and premature ageing. Peptides are the building blocks of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin and hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates the skin, normalizing cellular function and metabolism. The serum is perfect for dull, dehydrated and ageing skin, one of my favourites!”
