This facial serum from the anti-aging range by Italian brand laSaponaria is designed for all types of mature skin, including sensitive skin. It is packed with effective anti-aging ingredients, and its natural components have received organic certification. Ceramides play a key role in this serum, restoring the skin barrier and retaining moisture within skin cells. Another important ingredient is phytoretinol, which has regenerating and firming effects, along with peptides that brighten and tone the skin, leaving it more even and compact. The serum has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin.

laSaponaria Proage Ultra Facial Serum for Mature Skin BIO (30 ml) is an intensive nourishing serum designed for the needs of skin that is losing elasticity, tends to be drier, more sensitive, and gradually shows more visible fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier, which may result in better resistance to dryness, wind, or temperature changes and an overall more comfortable feeling throughout the day. Phytoretinol (a plant-based alternative to retinol) is sought after for its "pro-age" character – it supports a more even and smoother skin appearance without necessarily requiring as careful dosing as classic retinoids, though it is still advisable to introduce it with care. The serum's texture is typically light and easy to layer, so you can effortlessly combine it with a moisturizer and other gentle products in your routine. If you want to give your skin a visibly plumper and more nourished appearance without any feeling of heaviness, Proage Ultra is a targeted choice for everyday care.

How to Use

Apply the serum to cleansed skin on the face, neck, and optionally the décolletage, ideally after a toner or hydrating mist if you use them. Dispense 2–4 drops into your palms, gently warm them up, and press or smooth the serum outward from the center of the face; focus on areas where you feel a loss of elasticity or more pronounced dryness. Always follow with a suitable moisturizer to lock in the care – for mature skin, this supports both comfort and a plumping effect, as hydration and lipids are better retained in the skin. Although phytoretinol is generally gentler, it is recommended to start with every-other-day application (especially if your skin is reactive) and gradually transition to daily use based on tolerance. In the morning, don't forget SPF, as preventing photoaging is key in a pro-age routine. The best results are achieved with regular use combined with reliable daily SPF protection.

Packaging

The 30 ml volume represents a practical standard that allows you to use the serum long enough to realistically assess changes in skin texture, dryness levels, and overall radiance. Thanks to its compact size, the product easily fits into a cosmetic bag and is well suited for travel without taking up much space. When it comes to dosing, less is usually enough: mature skin prefers layering – serum + moisturizer – rather than a large amount applied all at once. To preserve quality, store the serum away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and close the packaging carefully after each use; this helps the active ingredients maintain their stability. One package with regular use often lasts several weeks to months, depending on whether you also treat the neck and décolletage.

Ingredients

The serum is built on a pro-age combination of ingredients that support a smoother, firmer, and more nourished skin appearance. Ceramides target the skin barrier and help retain moisture, contributing to skin that feels more supple and is less prone to tightness. Phytoretinol promotes a smoother texture and a more even skin tone and is suitable for those who want retinoid benefits in a gentler, plant-based form. This type of serum is additionally formulated with hydrating and soothing ingredients that balance the effect of the active components and enhance comfort during long-term use. If you have very sensitive skin, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area before incorporating the serum into your full routine.

Additional Info

With mature skin, it is good to view "anti-age" as a long-term strategy: the goal is comfort, barrier support, an even tone, and gradual improvement in texture. When using phytoretinol, it is recommended to keep your routine simple and avoid unnecessarily layering strong active ingredients on the same evening (such as strong AHA exfoliants) to prevent irritation. If you want to enhance the effect, focus on a quality moisturizer and optionally gentle antioxidant products in the morning, as protection against external influences is essential for skin appearance. During colder months, mature skin may appreciate a richer moisturizer as a final step; in summer, lighter textures and consistent SPF are preferable. When you use the serum consistently for 6–8 weeks, you will typically best notice how the elasticity, smoothness, and overall radiance of your skin change.
