Beiersdorf Researches the Skin’s Biological Clock

Currently, ageing research is experiencing a real hype. All over the world, clever minds are searching for the formula for the dream of eternal life. The aim is rather to push back natural boundaries in favor of better health. In terms of the largest human organ, Beiersdorf researchers are at the forefront. This year, they have taken decisive steps in the development of a technology that can be used to accurately predict the biological age of the skin.

"With our biological clock, we have a key technology at our disposal. We didn't fully grasp this at first," admits Dr. Marc Winnefeld, Head of Applied Skin Research at Beiersdorf. In the meantime, he and his team have immersed themselves deeply in the subject. The researchers are certain that the breakthrough will come sooner or later: "We don't have a crystal ball, but it's certainly only a matter of time before we can develop innovative cosmetic products that not only slow down the aging process, but also turn back the skin's biological clock to improve skin functions in the long term."
