EPIGENETIC SKINCARE?

I Tried the New Supermodel-Approved LYMA Skincare Duo—Here Are My Thoughts

Spoiler alert: LYMA’s skincare duo didn’t turn me into Amber Valletta, but I’m still majorly impressed.

While most skincare brands on the market today focus on reducing the existing signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, and texture, LYMA Skincare uses science to address (and target) the aging process itself. While the wellness brand is mostly known for its industry-disrupting and celebrity-endorsed at-home laser ($2,695), LYMA’s skincare offerings (currently, a moisturizer and a serum sold as a set) are just as worthy of your attention.

LYMA Skincare was founded on the basis that our epigenetics, the science of how our genes operate and are affected by external factors, impacts the health and aging process of the skin. Harnessing the depth of science of epigenetics as it pertains to our skin (our biggest organ, by the way) allows Lyma to better understand how to turn the clock backward by addressing the factors that actually cause the gene to age rather than trying to correct or only conceal the damage years later.

LYMA quietly introduced a newly reformulated two-step serum and cream system on July 10, powered by its proprietary Genoclytic technology, which was formulated by geneticists. The concentrated, extra-potent formulas contain 80 percent active ingredients, including all the anti-aging heroes you’d expect, like retinal (a less irritating form of retinol) and peptides, along with Wellmune Hydrolyzed Beta Glucans and Zizania latifolia Stem Extract, which help expedite cell turnover, accelerate nutritional delivery, and foster the proper bacterial balance to support the skin’s microbiome.

“At LYMA, we always challenge what’s possible. These new skincare products are feats of scientific engineering backed by clinical results that completely change what customers can expect from topical skincare,” says LYMA founder Lucy Goff.

Lyma Skincare Power Youth Serum and Cream Duo

From softening fine lines to targeting redness and banishing stubborn adult acne, LYMA’s revolutionary science-first skincare duo is revolutionizing how we approach skincare. The starter kit includes both a 50ML serum and moisturizer, which should last you at least a few months.

The formulas are designed to be used in tandem with the beauty editor-approved laser, but you can also expect to see results when used alone, and in as little as 30 days or less. I used the Power Youth Skincare Starter Kit for three months each morning, and I saw a noteworthy improvement in my crow’s feet, smile lines, and texture in 10 days.

Not only does this transformative skincare duo work synergistically to amplify the complexion-enhancing results, but it also streamlines your routine, eliminating extra steps. LYMA serum and cream for two months, and, as mentioned, the results were dramatic enough to make me want to repurchase another duo. Unfortunately, my budget doesn’t allow $420 for two skincare products (I received the serum and cream set as a press sample).

With that being said, if I weren’t on a media salary with student loans and daunting credit card debt, I would probably find a way to justify the expense. In fact, the two products almost certainly helped me push back my regularly scheduled Botox appointment by two and a half months—seriously, even my injector was shocked and asked what I was using.

As I said, I did not use the brand’s cult-favorite at-home laser when testing the LYMA Power Youth Skincare Duo, but I still reaped major complexion-enhancing benefits. If you have the budgetary allowance to invest in this cutting-edge skincare duo, I would absolutely encourage you to do so, especially if you’re looking to avoid or cut back on in-office aesthetic treatments like lasers and injectables.
