Dermatologists Warn: Up To 80% of Skincare Creams Contain Toxic Ingredients That Age You Faster — Here’s What You Actually Need To Look Younger
A growing number of dermatologists and leading skin experts are warning about a surprising culprit behind premature aging: your skincare routine.
The Shocking Truth About Toxic Skincare
Recent research published in Dermato, an international skin science journal1 found that up to 80% of personal care products contain at least one toxic ingredient, substances linked to premature aging, hormonal imbalance, and skin barrier damage.
Most wrinkle creams today are packed with parabens, mineral oil, coal tar, and even petroleum derivatives, also used in gasoline and plastics.

These are called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), compounds that can throw off your hormones, weaken your skin’s barrier, and quietly damage collagen, accelerating aging, wrinkles, and fine lines over time.
And here’s the truth that every woman deserves to know: it’s not your fault.
The regulation of skincare ingredients in the U.S. is minimal, with only 11 ingredients banned, leaving thousands of untested chemicals in products that millions of women use every day.
In contrast, Europe has banned over 1,532 ingredients proven to be harmful to human health, but in the U.S., many of those same substances are still being used in daily skincare.
Big beauty brands know this.
But when you’re part of a $147 billion industry, there’s no real incentive to fix the root cause of aging, especially when selling “quick fixes” keeps customers coming back.

The Hidden Truth About Why Most Skincare Often Fails
For decades, most skincare has focused on masking aging, using heavy creams, synthetic actives, and toxic ingredients to create a quick “smoothing” effect on the surface.
But new research in dermatology2 has uncovered something surprising:
The real cause of premature aging isn’t just time; it’s damage to the skin barrier caused by toxic, hormone-disrupting ingredients.
When this barrier weakens, your skin loses its natural defense.
• Moisture escapes.
• Toxins penetrate deeper.
• And collagen — the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic — begins to break down faster.

The famous TV doctor who decided to take a stand and changed things forever:
That revelation caught the attention of Dr. Trevor Cates, a Board-Certified Naturopathic Doctor and two-time best-selling author who has dedicated her life to understanding the connection between hormones and skin health.
After personally experiencing the effects of toxic ingredients—and seeing thousands of women trapped in the same frustrating cycle—she decided enough was enough.
Her mission became clear: to develop skincare that helps women achieve visible, lasting results without risking their health.
Dr. Cates even brought national attention to the issue on The Doctors TV show, exposing the harmful ingredients hidden in many “anti-aging” products.

The Breakthrough Discovery That Changed Everything About Anti-Aging
After analyzing more than 11,000 skincare ingredients, Dr. Trevor Cates and her research team uncovered what many in the beauty industry had overlooked:
The real key to youthful-looking skin lies in repairing the skin’s barrier and maintaining its optimal pH balance.
For decades, most “anti-aging” products have focused on coating the skin with temporary fillers and harsh actives.
But this new research showed that lasting radiance comes from helping the skin restore its natural defenses, not covering up the damage.
Rather than masking aging on the surface, this approach strengthens the foundation of healthy skin by:
• Restoring the skin’s natural pH (around 4.7) to create the ideal environment for renewal
• Reinforcing the skin’s barrier so it can retain moisture and block toxins
• Protecting collagen and elasticity from the oxidative stress that accelerates visible aging
• Supporting long-term firmness and smoothness through consistent barrier health
The game-changing discovery: Building on this breakthrough, Dr. Cates developed a doctor-formulated serum using this barrier-restoring and pH-balancing approach.
She first tested it with her own patients, who reported visibly firmer, healthier-looking skin within weeks.
Encouraged by these results, she led clinical trials that confirmed the serum’s effectiveness—proving that clean, science-backed skincare can deliver real, lasting results.
