Reverse Skin Aging: Science of Skincare with Carolina Oliveira Ph.D.

Carolina Reis Oliveira’s journey is as impressive as her
expertise in skin care. In this episode, she dives deep into the
science of skin aging. Along with Dr. Stephanie, she explores and
explains both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, from cellular
processes to environmental exposures. Carolina also shares
insights into inflammation, peptide therapy, and the
transformative potential of innovative compounds like OS-01.


OneSkin is getting to the root cause of skin aging with OS-01, a
novel peptide that targets cellular senescence. OS1 influences
cellular repair pathways and increases epidermal thickness.

Drawing from her team's research, Carolina discusses tangible
results in reducing skin aging, offering hope for conditions like
hyperpigmentation and rosacea. We explore strategies to stay
ahead of the aging curve, aiming for what Carolina calls "escape
velocity"—a state where we not only halt aging but reverse its
effects.
