We Asked 4 Dermatologists Which Brand New Anti-Aging Product Is Changing the Game—They All Said the Same Thing

Age-Repair Defensins

Dr. Natalie Curcio doesn’t mince words about this one.
An ingredient called “Age-Repair Defensins,” the active technology behind the DefenAge line, are “the biggest breakthrough in cosmetic skincare since the discovery of retinoids,” she says—a bold claim, but one she backs with more than 30 clinical studies demonstrating safety and efficacy.

The mechanism is distinct from anything else in this roundup. Defensins signal the skin to activate dormant cells—the same ones the body uses during wound healing—to generate a new top layer of skin. “With the creation of a new top layer of skin, people see improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, texture, sagging, pigment, redness, and pore size,” Curcio explains. It’s not exfoliating the old layer off; it’s generating a genuinely fresh one from within.

Dr. Amy Taub from Forefront Dermatology agrees these products work well, specifically for use after lasers, microneedling, radiofrequency treatments, chemical peels and other aesthetic procedures.
