My Experience with Modern Age Skin's The Catalyst Serum and Innovator Oil

The Catalyst serum from Modern Age Skin is an absolutely transformative addition to my skincare regimen. Right away, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s texture and moisture retention. Fine lines, particularly around my eyes, have visibly softened, and my skin looks and feels plumper and more youthful. I cannot get over how much softer my skin feels!!

I am using both The Catalyst (serum) and The Innovator (oil), the results are truly remarkable—my skin now has a radiant, luminous glow that I’ve never experienced before. I recently looked at an old photo and was amazed to see how much smoother and more hydrated my skin looks now, years later. Modern Age Skin has created something truly special with these products! Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it.

As someone who travels frequently, keeping my skin hydrated has always been a challenge. Since using this combination, I realize I no longer feel any dryness. Even my hands are softer because I rub the leftover product into my hands after I apply it to my face!
