From retinol and peptides to collagen supplements, anti-ageing advice has never been more overwhelming, so which ingredients actually work? In this episode of Skincare & Beyond, host Jess Oram is joined by Seth Catalano, Head of Education at Caudalie, to explore one of skincare's most celebrated natural ingredients: resveratrol. Seth explains what resveratrol actually is, why it's found in grapevines, and how it compares to other well-known actives like vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol and peptides. We dig into what's really happening inside our skin as we age, the external factors that accelerate the process, and how Caudalie's Resveratrol-Lift collection combines resveratrol with vegan collagen and hyaluronic acid to support firmer, healthier-looking skin. Seth also busts some common anti-ageing myths — including whether natural skincare is less effective than synthetic, whether expensive products always perform better, and whether there's a "right age" to start an anti-ageing routine. Whether you're just beginning to explore healthy ageing or want to separate the science from the skincare hype, this episode breaks down what's worth paying attention to and what isn't.
