Our skincare needs evolve dynamically through different stages of life, influenced by the exposome, or environmental and lifestyle factors, and natural biological shifts. To help you navigate these changes, we developed Absolue Longevity MD, our skincare range backed by 20+ years of advanced science and our exclusive Longevity Integrative Science™. Designed around three distinct life stages, the Lancôme Skincare Experts curated these targeted skincare routines to empower you to act on aging signs today while preparing your skin for the future:
- Under 35 (Early Age): The Anticipate Routine
- 35–55 (Mid-Age): The Intercept Routine
- Over 55 (Mature Age): The Reset Routine

The Anticipate Routine: Under 35 (Early Age)
In your twenties and early thirties, your skin is typically at its peak of natural moisture and plumpness. The goal here is to anticipate and protect. This routine focuses on intense hydration, maintaining a glowing appearance, and defending the skin against environmental stressors that can lead to the earliest visible signs of aging.
Step 1: Cleanse with Crème Radiance
Start with a fresh canvas. This gentle cream-to-foam cleanser effortlessly melts away makeup and impurities, leaving the skin looking clear and radiant without feeling stripped.
Step 2: Prep with Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum
Our iconic recovery serum helps to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and boosts visible radiance in one use, keeping your complexion looking smooth, vibrant, and healthy.
Step 3: Moisturize with Anticipate Cream
Lock in hydration. This targeted longevity cream is formulated to provide essential moisture, helping to smooth the look of first fine lines and pores and maintain your visibly radiant, plump look.
Step 4: Care for the Eyes with Génifique Ultimate Eye
The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first to show fatigue. This eye treatment hydrates and visibly brightens the eye contour for a well-rested look.
Step 5: Protect with Supra Screen
Sun protection is the ultimate non-negotiable step. Daily UV defense, like Lancôme’s Supra Screen Invisible Serum Sunscreen SPF 50+, is an effective step to help protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays while leaving an invisible finish.

The Intercept Routine: 35–55 (Mid-Age)
As you move into your late thirties, forties, and early fifties, you may notice changes in your skin’s texture, visible firmness, and moisture retention. The Intercept phase is all about targeting these shifts head-on. This routine is designed to support surface cell renewal, improve the look of visible wrinkles (forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds), support the skin's feeling of elasticity and firmness, and deliver nourishing, comforting hydration.
Step 1: Cleanse with Crème Mousse Confort
Transition to a richer, more nurturing cleanser during the Intercept life stage. This luxurious foam gently cleanses while delivering a comforting touch to skin that may be prone to dryness.
Step 2: Target with Intercept Serum
A potent step to visibly improve the look of skin texture and tone. This serum, designed for face & eye usage, targets 11 visible aging signs*, including the look of wrinkles and firmness while supporting surface cell renewal** to promote a visibly firmer, refined complexion.
*Clinical study measuring visible improvement on forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet wrinkles, nasolabial folds, lower face ptosis, underneath eye wrinkles, corner of the lip wrinkles, interocular wrinkles, radiance, firmness, dropping eyelid and tear trough after 3 months.
**Via exfoliation
Step 3: Moisturize with Intercept Cream
Envelop your skin in this velvety, replenishing moisturizer. The Intercept Cream works to visibly plump the skin with hydration, support surface cell renewal*, improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity, and smooth the look of wrinkles.

Step 4: Care for the Eyes with Rénergie Eye Cream
Formulated to correct visible signs of aging, the Rénergie Eye Cream helps to visibly lift and firm the look of the eye area while reducing the appearance of dark circles and visible under-eye lines.
Step 5: Protect with Supra Screen
Continue to defend your skin daily against UV exposure, helping to prevent the appearance of new visible signs of photo-aging, when used with other sun protection measures.

The Secret to Skin Longevity Is Consistency
For all life stages, the secret to glowing, youthful-looking skin is consistency. By aligning your daily skincare routine with the specific needs of your life stage—whether you are anticipating, intercepting, or resetting—you hold the power to reverse your skin's visible biological age*, at every life stage.
