Take a Beauty Break – The rise of age hacking

What is age hacking?

 

Age hacking is reshaping beauty, it’s about preventing aging signs before they appear. 

81% of 16–34-year-olds are concerned by visible signs of aging, marking a shift toward proactive care.

Today’s consumers prioritize science, innovation, and powerful actives – 27% are willing to pay more for high-concentration formulas and 31% research ingredients before purchasing. Longevity, radiance, and barrier support are the new pillars of anti-ageing.
