The Skin Longevity Breakthrough | Carolina Reis Oliveira
About this episode
Dr. Kara Fitzgerald discusses the intersection of skincare and longevity with Carolina Reis Oliveira, focusing on cellular senescence and the latest research in skin health.
Can skincare influence healthy aging beyond reducing fine lines and wrinkles? In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald welcomes Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD, CEO and co-founder of OneSkin, for a science-based discussion on cellular senescence, skin aging, and the connection between skin health and longevity. Carolina explains the research behind OneSkin's OS-01 peptide, developed after screening more than 900 peptides to identify one that targets senescent ("zombie") cells. These aging cells contribute to inflammation, collagen loss, impaired skin barrier function, and visible skin aging. Together, they explore the latest research on biological skin age, skin inflammation, barrier repair, collagen production, sensitive skin, retinol, microneedling, hair thinning, scar recovery, and the effects of GLP-1–associated weight loss on skin health. They also discuss why testing complete skincare formulations matters and how longevity science is shaping the future of skincare. Whether you're a clinician, skincare professional, or simply interested in healthy aging, this episode offers an evidence-informed look at where longevity science and skincare…
