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.
