FOREVER YOUNG
A pioneering anti-aging treatment based on biomimetic peptides: it delays the first signs of ageing, supports cell renewal and restores the skin's vitality.
CHRISTINA — It just works
Who it is for: women (and men) with the first signs of ageing. The problem: expression lines, loss of firmness, slower cell renewal, dehydration. What sets it apart: pioneering biomimetic peptide technology (GF, ETF, Matrixyl), the world's first line to combine all the key peptides in one system. Ideal salon: a complete anti-aging treatment for informed clients planning long-term prevention.
The FOREVER YOUNG philosophy
FOREVER YOUNG — BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.
Ageing starts at a young age: we reach our physical peak early. After that, biological changes reduce skin function: it reflects less light (which is what makes skin look „fresh"), cell renewal slows down and dead layers of the epidermis build up.
FOREVER YOUNG does more than mask the signs: it supports the skin's repair mechanisms. It stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, normalises the keratinocyte renewal cycle, neutralises free radicals and rebuilds the hydrolipid barrier. The result is firmer, smoother, better-hydrated skin with visibly reduced wrinkles.
Early intervention
The key to delaying ageing is acting before permanent changes appear.
Biomimetic peptides
They mimic the skin's natural signals and activate regeneration.
Daily repair
Repairing daily damage before it builds up.
Protection against free radicals
Antioxidants and SPF protect your investment in the skin.
Who FOREVER YOUNG is for
- Women and men with the first signs of ageing (expression lines, declining firmness).
- Mature skin with visible loss of tone, dryness and a dull complexion.
- Dehydrated skin: water loss is one of the main factors that deepen expression lines.
- Clients preparing for important events (a wedding, a photo shoot, an anniversary).
- Skin with photoageing after long UV exposure.
- Clients with an active lifestyle: stress, fatigue, lack of sleep.
- Support after invasive treatments (laser, RF, mesotherapy) as regenerating care.
Key ingredients and technologies
The technological pillar of the line is biomimetic peptides: short amino acid chains that mimic natural biological signals in the skin. Each peptide targets a different ageing mechanism.
Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)
A „Botox-like" peptide that relaxes muscle tension at skin level and reduces expression lines (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet). Used in Absolute Fix Expression Line Serum.
GF (Growth Factor) Peptide
A peptide that mimics a natural growth factor: activates fibroblast proliferation and speeds up regeneration. Essential for skin after laser and mesotherapy.
ETF (Epidermal Tightening Factor)
Repairs micro-damage in the stratum corneum and strengthens cohesion between epidermal cells. A lifting effect after just one treatment.
Red wine polyphenols and resveratrol
Strong antioxidants from red wine that neutralise free radicals and block collagen-degrading enzymes (MMPs). An ingredient of Red Wine Peel, the line's flagship peel.
Hyaluronic acid (molecular fractions)
3Luronic Serum combines low, medium and high molecular weight hyaluronate for hydration at 3 depths at once.
Stabilised vitamin C
Supports collagen synthesis, brightens and neutralises free radicals. The stable form resists oxidation.
Vitamin E and encapsulated retinol
Liposomal retinol works gradually, without irritation. Vitamin E protects and stabilises.
Professional treatment protocol
The full FOREVER YOUNG salon treatment takes 75 to 90 minutes and has 8 steps. FOREVER YOUNG salon recommendations: an intensive series and a maintenance treatment at the intervals shown alongside. series: 4 to 6 treatments · interval in the series: every 10 days · maintenance treatment: every 6 weeks
- STEP 1. Purifying Gel Cleanses and prepares the skin. A gentle gel with peptides and sebum-regulating actives.
- STEP 2. Infra-Peel Lotion A lotion that prepares the skin for the peel: evens out pH, oxygenates and lightly exfoliates the stratum corneum.
- STEP 3. Red Wine Peel The line's flagship peel: red wine polyphenols and AHA. Exfoliating, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.
- STEP 4. Regenerating Under Mask A base mask that calms the skin after the peel and opens the way for actives to penetrate.
- STEP 5A+5B. Bio-Firming Serum + Bio-Lifting Powder Activates the lifting complex: the serum and an algae-based powder form a firming mask.
- STEP 6. Radiance Moisturizing Mask A moisturising mask with a peptide complex that restores radiance, soothes and oxygenates.
- STEP 7. Total Renewal Serum The line's flagship serum: a peptide cocktail (Matrixyl, Argireline, GF), vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. Apply with massage
- STEP 8. Hydra-Protective Day Cream SPF 25 A protective day cream with UV filters, hydration and antioxidants. Mineral-chemical SPF 25
Clinical tip: for sensitive skin, consider Anti-Puff Eye Mask or Active Firming Algae Mask instead of STEP 6. Do the first treatment in a series with a shorter peel time (3 to 5 min) and watch how the skin reacts.

Common questions from cosmetologists
From what age should FOREVER YOUNG be recommended?
The line is preventive: the first treatments can be offered once the ageing processes start biologically.
Do peptides work like Botox?
Argireline gives an effect close to Botox by relaxing muscle tension at skin level. It is not an injection, though.
Is Red Wine Peel aggressive?
Do the first treatment in a series with a shorter application time and extend it in later ones.
Can it be combined with mesotherapy or laser?
Yes, FOREVER YOUNG works very well as regenerating care after invasive treatments.
Is SPF necessary with peptides?
Absolutely. Any investment in the skin is lost without photoprotection: UV breaks down collagen faster than peptides can rebuild it.
Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid retinol products (Active Night Eye Cream, Gentle Cleansing Milk with retinol, Rejuvenating Day Eye Cream SPF 15). During pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor about use.
- Active oral isotretinoin therapy: peels and retinoids are absolutely contraindicated.
- Active skin inflammation (herpes, fungal infections, acute atopic dermatitis).
