How I Found the Secret to Youthful Skin at 45

As I approached my mid-forties, I began noticing subtle changes in my skin. At first, they were barely noticeable—a few fine lines here and there. But soon, they became more pronounced, especially around my eyes and mouth.

I would catch glimpses of myself in the mirror and feel disheartened by the reflection staring back at me. It was as if my once-vibrant skin had begun to lose its luster, and with it, a part of my confidence.

I remember a particular day at the grocery store, when I ran into an old friend from college. We chatted for a bit, but I couldn't help but notice her gaze lingering on the lines around my eyes.

Later that day, I overheard a comment at a family gathering:

“Renata, you look tired. Are you feeling okay?” These moments stung, not because of the words themselves, but because they echoed my own insecurities.

It had been a long time since I received a genuine compliment about my appearance. My daily routine became a constant reminder of the fine lines I was trying to fight, yet none of the creams, serums, or treatments I tried seemed to make a difference.

The frustration was palpable. I started avoiding close-up photos, and social gatherings became a source of anxiety rather than joy.

I was losing the battle against time, and it felt as though my skin was betraying me.

This constant struggle led me to a pivotal decision.

I realised that if I wanted to find a solution that truly worked, I needed to be at the forefront of skincare innovation. This realisation fueled my passion and led to the creation of Gentle&Rose, which I founded with my daughter.

As a co-founder, I felt an immense pressure to embody the radiance and youthfulness our products promised, but this also gave me the drive to find real solutions.

One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with our team and poured my heart out. It was clear that I wasn’t alone; many of us, even women in their 20s and 30s had similar experiences and frustrations.

That conversation sparked a renewed determination within us. We decided to channel our collective knowledge and expertise into creating something truly transformative.

This was the beginning of our journey towards formulating the Rose Youth Elixir.

We wanted a product that combined the best of nature with cutting-edge science. After months of research, we discovered the powerful benefits of Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol known for its anti-ageing properties.

Paired with rose oil, revered for its soothing and rejuvenating effects, and hyaluronic acid, celebrated for its deep hydration, we knew we had a winning combination.

ACHETER MAINTENANT

As soon as we finalised the formulation, I began using the Rose Youth Elixir daily.

The transformation wasn’t instant, but within a few weeks, I started noticing subtle changes. My skin felt more hydrated, and the fine lines around my eyes and mouth began to soften. The dullness that once plagued my complexion was replaced with a newfound radiance.

I always love reading the lovely testimonials our clients share on social media and it truly warms my heart knowing that so many of you saw a positive change using the Rose Youth Elixir. 

But our journey didn’t stop there.

We knew that addressing the delicate eye area required a specialized solution. That’s how we developed the Lift&Brighten Peptide Eye Cream. This cream harnesses the power of tetrapeptides, which are known to promote firmness and elasticity. We combined these with pomegranate seed oil, rich in antioxidants, and Bakuchiol, to reduce dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes.

I incorporated the Lift&Brighten Peptide Eye Cream into my routine, and the results were nothing short of remarkable. The puffiness that made me look perpetually tired diminished significantly, and the dark circles that seemed to age me overnight were visibly reduced.

Friends and family began to notice the change, and the compliments I had longed for started coming my way again.

One of the most rewarding moments came during a recent company event. I was speaking to a group of women about our new products when one of them interrupted me to say, “Renata, your skin looks incredible! What’s your secret?” It was in that moment I realised that our hard work had paid off—not just in the creation of these products, but in restoring the confidence that I thought I had lost.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that ageing is a natural process, but it doesn’t mean we have to surrender to its effects without a fight.

The right skincare can make a world of difference, not just in how we look, but in how we feel about ourselves.

The Rose Youth Elixir and Lift&Brighten Peptide Eye Cream are more than just products; they are the result of our passion and dedication to empowering women to feel their best at any age.

I am living proof that with the right care, it’s possible to rediscover the youthful glow that time tries to take away.

And now, I’m proud to share these solutions with you, so you too can experience the confidence and radiance that comes with truly beautiful skin.
