Cutting-edge science designed around the biology of skin aging
Aging is a biological process, not just a cosmetic concern. We design our prescription formulations to target the biological pathways associated with skin aging to support both how skin looks and how it functions over time.

Treat the visible signs of aging at the biological core
Agency is designed as a system of personalized treatments that work together across these pathways. Each product specializes in a primary area while supporting multiple mechanisms associated with skin aging.
Inflammation
As we age, low-grade inflammation can persist in the skin, accelerating the breakdown of collagen and elastin while impairing the skin's ability to repair itself. This chronic inflammation, often called inflammaging, is associated with wrinkles, loss of firmness, and increased skin sensitivity.
Oxidative stress
UV rays, pollution, stress, and other environmental aggressors generate unstable molecules called free radicals. Over time, these molecules damage proteins, lipids, and skin cells, contributing to dullness, uneven tone, discoloration, and premature aging.

Cellular repair
Healthy skin relies on continuous repair and renewal. Over time, aging cells become less efficient at clearing damage and maintaining healthy function. As repair processes slow, skin can become less resilient, slower to recover, and more vulnerable to visible aging.
DNA damage
Every day, skin is exposed to factors that can damage cellular DNA. As repair mechanisms become less efficient with age, damage accumulates and can disrupt normal skin function, contributing to visible signs of aging and slower recovery over time.
