It’s at this time in the year when our skin really faces the brunt of ageing. Our exposure to the sun is at peak levels, we are eating bad foods and drinking in excess, not to mention the countless training sessions we miss due to one to many cocktails the night before.
All of these factors added with the natural process of getting older contribute to the not-so-pretty signs of ageing; fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, bags under our eyes, a loss of tone and clarity, and a general sallow-ness are just some of the ageing symptoms.
The best way to slow down the ageing process is to stay out of the sun, skip a few champagne cocktails and up the ante with the veggies and exercise. But lets face it, with our glorious beaches and profusion of summer parties, that’s never going to happen so the next best thing is skincare.
There are so many skincare products on the current market; it’s hard to know where to begin. With an abundance of day creams, night creams, eye gels, serums, lotions, treatments and oils, the skincare counters can be just ‘slightly’ overwhelming.
For those seeking a streamlined solution in the often-confusing world of anti-ageing skincare, Rescu. loves the uncomplicated yet powerful anti-ageing products from Skin Doctors Cosmeceuticals.

RESCU’s roadtester…
Aussie beach babe and renowned model Laura Dundovic loves Skinactive:
“My skin is my career, I don’t just moisturise anymore. I use skinactive skincare. It gives me everything my skin needs.“
We also love the regenerative night cream by Skin Doctors Skinactive, as it left our skin feeling silky smooth and it has been specifically formulated to repair skin damage while you sleep whilst protecting it from future damage.
3 Key Ingredients found in Skinactive regenerative night cream –
Renovage – Helps delay cell ageing and extends the cell life span by a third
ExoT – Regenerates skin for an even complexion
Aquaxyl – Increases the skin’s water reserves and limits water loss
Relaxaderm
This miracle-in-a-jar has been a firm staple in RESCU’s beauty cupboards for years, and we are not alone as it’s relied on by MILLIONS of women around the world.
Relaxaderm’s primary active ingredient ‘Argireline’, works by inhibiting facial muscle contractions, resulting in the reduction of the appearance of wrinkles by up to 50% in just 28 days.
Vipertox
Contains ‘Syn-ake’ (the powerful synthetic peptide that mimics the freezing action of the temple viper) and Easyliance (for instant smoothing and tightening). This skincare genie is a favourite amoungst young Hollywood stars.
Eyetuck
Another Rescu. favourite, Eyetuck is a targeted eye cream designed to combat one of the most common eye area ageing complaints – under eye bags. With the peptide strength of ‘Eyeseryl’, a tetra peptide, under eye area congestion is visibly reduced and the eye area is left smoother and visibly younger looking.
