LONGEVITY SCIENCE
?AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SKIN?
WHAT IS SKIN LONGEVITY?
Skin longevity is the idea that skin naturally has the power to look and feel younger, and to maintain its peak performance longer than was traditionally thought possible.
WHAT IS SIRTIVITY-LP™ TECHNOLOGY?
Inspired by their skin longevity science research, Estée Lauder scientists developed SIRTIVITY-LP™, our patented technology to help reveal visible age reversal. Almost like flipping a switch, SIRTIVITY-LP™ technology helps “turn on” skin’s natural youth network to help skin look and feel younger.
“We, at Estée Lauder, have now been researching the role of Sirtuins in skin for over 15 years.”

What is skin longevity?
It’s the skin’s natural power to act and look younger, and to maintain its peak performance. Research shows that the key to activating skin longevity is sirtuins.
What are sirtuins?
Sirtuins are a family of seven proteins that are found naturally in skin cells. These specialised longevity proteins form a vital network in skin, fueling youthful skin cell activity.
What are sirtuin benefits for skin?
According to research, activating or “turning on” sirtuins is associated with certain youthful skin cell activities. This can help reverse signs of aging so that skin is firmer, smoother and looks and feels younger. Click here to hear more from our expert on the benefits of sirtuins for skin.
Is there a connection between sirtuins and aging?
Research shows a connection between sirtuins and the visible signs of aging. As we age and skin is exposed to environmental stressors, sirtuins’ activity diminishes—“go dark”. This can result in skin dullness, loss of firmness, visible lines and wrinkles and other signs of aging.
