3 Ingredients That Actually Work for Menopausal Skin

If your skin has suddenly changed, it is not random. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause lower your skin’s natural collagen, reduce its ability to retain moisture and increase sensitivity.

What used to work may now leave you red, dry or dull. Many products ignore this. We built LUMA Rituals around it.

Here are the three ingredients that form the foundation of our range and why they matter for mature skin.

1. Peptides to help restore strength and firmness

By age 50, your skin has up to 40 percent less collagen than it did in your 30s. This affects firmness, elasticity and overall resilience.

Peptides are amino acids that signal the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. They also help reduce inflammation and improve barrier repair.

In our Peptides Serum, we use skin-identical peptides that absorb easily without clogging pores or leaving residue. The texture feels rich but never greasy. Many women tell us they notice a difference in how their skin feels within one week.

For skin that feels weak, crepey or prone to redness, this is a daily essential.

2. Bakuchiol to smooth and brighten without irritation

Bakuchiol is often called a retinol alternative, but for menopausal skin it is the smarter choice.

Retinol works, but it often comes with peeling, dryness and redness. Your skin during menopause is already sensitive. It does not need more stress.

Bakuchiol delivers similar results. It encourages cell turnover, helps fade pigmentation and softens fine lines. But it does this gently.

In our Retinol Alternative Oil Serum, we combine bakuchiol with nourishing oils like squalane and rosehip. This creates a formula that deeply moisturises while improving skin tone and texture. You wake up with softer, smoother skin and zero flaking.

It is suitable even if your skin is dry, reactive or recovering from overuse of harsher products.

3. Multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to hydrate from the surface to deeper layers

Most products use one type of hyaluronic acid. This sits on the surface and gives a temporary plumping effect. It looks good for a few hours, but it does not solve the problem.

Your skin during menopause loses its ability to hold water. You need moisture at every level, not just the top.

Our Double Hydration Gel uses multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. The smaller molecules reach deeper into the skin, while the larger ones hold moisture at the surface. This gives you immediate softness and longer-term hydration.

This is the difference between skin that just feels wet and skin that actually feels replenished.

You need products that support what your skin is going through

You are not imagining it. Your skin has changed. And it will keep changing.

We created LUMA Rituals for this exact stage of life. Every formula is designed to work together. Each product helps the others perform better.

You do not need a 10-step routine. You need the right ingredients in the right combinations!
