Collection: Dry Skin and Ageing

Deep Hydration and Barrier Repair for Dry, Ageing Skin

Noticing your skin feels drier, thinner, or more fragile than it used to? During perimenopause and menopause, declining oestrogen dramatically reduces your skin's ability to retain moisture, produce collagen, and maintain its protective barrier. This leads to dryness, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and premature ageing.

Common Symptoms You Might Be Experiencing

Many women search for relief from:

  • Persistent dryness that doesn't respond to regular moisturizers
  • Thin, crepey skin texture, especially around eyes and neck
  • Fine lines and wrinkles appearing or deepening rapidly
  • Loss of plumpness, firmness, and elasticity
  • Flaky, rough patches that won't go away
  • Skin that feels tight, uncomfortable, or fragile
  • Increased sensitivity to products that used to work

Why Menopause Causes Dry Skin and Accelerated Ageing

Oestrogen is essential for collagen production, hyaluronic acid synthesis, and skin barrier function. When it declines, your skin loses up to 30% of its collagen in the first 5 years of menopause. Oil production drops, ceramides decrease, and your skin's ability to hold water diminishes — all leading to dryness, thinning, and visible ageing.

Our Topical Botanical Hormone Support™ system delivers deep hydration, barrier-repairing botanicals, and collagen-supporting ingredients that work with your changing hormones — not against them. This helps restore moisture, strengthen your barrier, and support skin resilience.

What You Can Expect

These deeply nourishing formulas provide intense hydration, barrier repair, and collagen support. You'll experience plumper, softer skin with improved elasticity and reduced fine lines over time.

Best for: dryness • thinning skin • fine lines • loss of elasticity • barrier damage • dehydration • premature ageing

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my skin suddenly so dry during menopause?

Declining oestrogen reduces oil production, ceramide synthesis, and your skin's ability to retain water. This triple effect causes persistent dryness that regular moisturizers often can't fix because they don't address the hormonal root cause.

Can I reverse ageing skin during menopause?

While you can't reverse ageing entirely, you can significantly improve hydration, elasticity, and barrier function with hormone-aware skincare. Focus on barrier repair and collagen support rather than harsh anti-ageing actives that can damage already fragile skin.

Why don't my old moisturizers work anymore?

Your skin's needs have changed. Menopausal skin requires richer, barrier-repairing formulas with ceramides, fatty acids, and botanicals that support hormonal skin — not just surface hydration.

How long does it take to see improvement?

Most women notice softer, more hydrated skin within 3-7 days. Deeper barrier repair and collagen support take 4-6 weeks of consistent use as your skin rebuilds its protective layer.

Should I avoid retinol during menopause?

Retinol can be too harsh for already dry, thinning menopausal skin. Focus on gentle, nourishing ingredients that support your barrier first. Once your skin is stable, you can consider low-dose retinol if desired.

What's the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin lacks oil (due to low oestrogen), while dehydrated skin lacks water. Menopausal skin often has both. You need barrier-repairing oils AND hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to address both issues.

Can I use these products if I have oily skin?

Yes. Even oily skin can become dehydrated during menopause. Start with lighter layers (serum + light moisturizer) and adjust based on your skin's response.

This collection restores deep hydration, repairs your barrier, and supports collagen renewal — helping your skin feel soft, plump, and resilient again.
