Your common questions on SkinCeutical's new anti-aging serum, answered.
When it comes to visibly reversing the signs of time, few products blend innovation and elegance quite like SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum. Crafted to address the loss of elasticity, firmness, and radiance, this concentrated formula is the answer to one of skin’s most complex concerns: glycation. In this FAQ, we explore the science behind the serum, how to incorporate it into your ritual, and why it’s becoming a staple in high-performance skincare routines.
What does A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum do?
A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum visibly lifts and tightens 4 key facial and neck areas. It is clinically proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and noticeable signs of aging including those linked to Advanced Glycation End-Products (A.G.E.), which occurs when sugar molecules bind to collagen resulting in loss of elasticity.
How long before A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum shows visible results?
A.G.E. Interrupted Ultra serum instantly hydrates skin, and has been tested to deliver clinical anti-aging results after consistent use for at least 4 weeks.
Can A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used every day?
Yes, it is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used twice daily, morning and night.
How do skin-tightening serums work?
Skin-tightening serums, such as A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, help reverse the visible signs of aging associated with glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to collagen fibres in the skin, weakening them and making the skin more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Double-patented A.G.E. Serum technology supports collagen synthesis to maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity for a lifted look on key areas.
Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with retinol?
Yes, you can use a lifting serum like A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing retinol. It is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be applied at night after a retinol formula.
Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with hyaluronic acid?
Yes, you can use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing hyaluronic acid. It works synergistically with hyaluronic acid in lifting and volumizing.
Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with vitamin C?

In hot and humid months, our skin’s hydration levels can decrease due to heat, sun exposure, and increased transepidermal water loss. Adding a face mist or essence to your routine will help restore moisture, calm sensitivity, and improve your skin’s absorption of subsequent skincare products.
These lightweight formulas deliver active ingredients without feeling heavy, making them perfect for summer layering and on-the-go refreshment.
ETIKET TIP: Chill your essence or toner in the refrigerator for an extra burst of freshness!
Benefits of Using a Toner or Essence
Toner vs Essence: What’s the Difference?
Both toners and essences are formulated to target specific skin concerns.
A toner gently primes the skin for targeted treatments and helps balance the pH of the skin.
An essence delivers concentrated active ingredients to the skin’s surface, optimizing hydration and the absorption of active ingredients, and should be used after toning.

Made with naturally-derived DHA, ceramides and hyaluronic acid, these fully customizable drops work with your skin tone to deliver a buildable, sun-kissed glow that looks even better than the real thing.

“This hybrid product follows in the footsteps of our bestselling low drops to enter a new category, reimagining self tan for sensitive skin and nervous tanners alike.
Traditional formulas using synthetic DHA were never ideal – often triggering dehydration, breakouts, and irritation – not to mention the giveaway biscuit aroma. Instead, biotechnology has given us a certified organic DHA that creates a natural, healthy glow, with none of the drawbacks – and we’ve bolstered it with powerful actives to bring the benefits of a hydrating, barrier-supporting serum into the mix. A truly advanced formula, and a breakthrough for sensitive skincare.”
– Sarah Brown, Founder, Pai Skincare
HOW TO USE FOR A BUILDABLE TAN
For best results, we recommend exfoliating first, then applying evenly to cleansed, dry skin. Massage into skin until fully absorbed. Wash hands immediately after use.
The colour will start to deepen after around 2 hours, but allow up to 48 hours for your tan to fully develop. We find it looks best after 24 hours – and if you want more glow, you can always top up.
HOW MANY DROPS? 2 = Light glow 4 = Medium glow 6 = Deep glow
Alternatively, mix 2-12 drops into moisturizer for a gradual, buildable tan.

PACKING TIPS: CARRY-ON ONLY
When travelling with a carry-on only:
Only liquids, gels and aerosols in containers of 100 ml or 100 g (3.4 oz) or less are permitted.
You may be tempted to bring a 50 or 100 ml cream, serum or cleanser when travelling, but keep in mind that a maximum total of 1000 ml is allowed per person when travelling with a carry-on only. All products must therefore fit into a plastic bag with a capacity of one liter. Only one bag per person is allowed.
Powdered products such as dry shampoos, foot powders and bath salts cannot be carried in your carry-on if the quantity is equal to or greater than 350 ml (12 oz.). However, these products may be carried in your checked baggage, regardless of quantity.
ALSO WORTH NOTING:
Toiletries (including aerosols) such as hairspray, perfume, cologne or any product containing alcohol may be carried in checked baggage provided the total capacity does not exceed two liters (2L) or two kilograms (2Kg) per passenger.
What’s the BEST sunscreen? Simple: the one you’ll actually use every day!
Daily sunscreen is your skin’s best defense against brown spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. As many of you know, it’s much easier to prevent damage than to correct it later.
☀️ Sun protection isn’t just for summer. UV rays are just as harmful in the winter as they are in the summer. Whether you’re hitting the ski slopes or lounging on the beach, your skin needs protection all year round.
Feeling convinced? We thought so 😉 Now it’s just a matter of finding the texture and format that fit your lifestyle. No need to stick to just one—most people switch it up depending on the day, the activity, or even the season.

“My beautiful mother-in-law, Anne Clune, always had the most radiant skin. Her secret? A fierce dedication to sunscreen and a love for simple, natural beauty. The ILIA True Skin Serum Foundation gives that same dewy, luminous glow while protecting your skin with SPF 40. It’s a true multitasker, just like Anne, who raised seven amazing children with grace and strength.” ANNE MARIE, Boutique & Spa Director – Etiket Toronto
“My grandmother Eurides loved her multiple neroli fragrances so much, it was her favourite note of all time. This year, I’m celebrating her memory with BDK’s Villa Neroli, a sweet, fresh and bright fragrance, just like her!” LUIZA, Makeup Specialist – Etiket Toronto
“My mom absolutely loves French Farmacie’s Sérum Radiant because it makes her skin feel nourished, smooth, and glowing. She says it gives her that natural, healthy radiance she’s always looking for — plus, she loves how luxurious and clean the ingredients feel! She also colours her hair once a month and struggles with very dry ends. She absolutely loves the Mela & Kera Smooth Ends Balm—it’s one of her staples and she always keeps a bottle in her purse! She goes through one every month. This product hydrates, smooths, and never weighs down her hair. It’s been a game-changer for keeping her coloured hair looking healthy and soft.” JENNY, Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Toronto
“Born and raised in the islands of the Philippines, my mother Lilibeth was always surrounded by fresh mangos. Not only is it her favourite fruit, she also embodies the taste and feel of this exotic fruit – soft and sweet, nurturing and full of life. Xerjoff’s Cruz Del Sur II is the perfect tropical scent that takes not only me but my mother back home.” ALLAN, Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Toronto
“For Mother’s Day, I’d gift my mom a Balance & Ground Facial from Tata Harper. She does so much for others, so I’d like to treat her to 90 minutes of pure relaxation, just for her. The calm-inducing breathing, singing bowl ritual and face massage are the perfect way to help her slow down, recharge and feel pampered.” GENEVIÈVE, Customer Experience Coordinator – Etiket HQ, Montreal
“Typically, I prefer to offer experiences or memorable moments as gifts; however, this year I have chosen to present my mother with the Advanced Anti-Aging Program from Vivier. For me, it only makes sense to offer a gift that is both useful and from a local brand (Vivier is a Quebec-based company celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!). Vivier’s programs are made up of essentials that ensure a complete skincare routine based on a targeted concern: from cleanser to sun protection to serum, it’s all there. The products are formulated according to the strictest pharmaceutical standards, rivaling those of multinational brands. Additionally, the highly functional (and beautiful) kit in which the products are housed makes it an ideal gift, whether for others or for personal indulgence.” KARINE, Marketing Director – Etiket HQ, Montreal
April is Rosacea Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the millions living with sensitive, redness-prone skin. If you are navigating rosacea, finding the right skincare can make all the difference. We’re shining a spotlight on rosacea and sharing our gentle, effective options designed to soothe, calm, and support your skin, every step of the way.
WHAT IS ROSACEA? + TIPS TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by redness on the face, small dilated blood vessels, pustules and swelling. Rosacea affects all ages and more than 3 million people in Canada alone. Left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time.
It is not known what causes rosacea, and there is currently no cure. There are products, however, that can help manage this condition. Here are five tips that can help you calm rosacea symptoms:
Go easy on your skin
You want to be gentle in every way with your skin. Look for calming ingredients in your skincare products and treat your skin how you would treat a baby’s. Quick tip: use lukewarm water when you wash your face – not too cold, not too hot.
Keep your skincare routine simple
Stick to the basics. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm rosacea-prone skin by mixing a long list of ingredients that will just do more harm then good.
Test skincare and makeup products before applying them to your face
If you’ve never tried a product or it seems that everything you apply to your face stings, testing can help. To test a product, dab a small amount near (but not on) your rosacea-prone skin. If it irritates your skin (burning, stinging, etc.) within 72 hours, you know not to use it.
Use sunscreen daily
The sun can worsen rosacea. Sun exposure is actually one of the most frequent causes of a rosacea flare-up. Even people with dark skin can have a rosacea flare-up after being outdoors in the sun. For that reason, we strongly recommend wearing sunscreen every single day to protect your skin from UV rays, but also to prevent a rosacea flare-up.
Avoid common food and beverage triggers
While alcohol is not responsible for the onset of rosacea, it has been identified as an aggravating factor, particularly red wine. But it’s not the only one: caffeine and spicy foods are among the most common triggers of the disease.
Your doctor knows best
If untreated, rosacea can worsen and/or become very uncomfortable to live with. We recommend visiting a doctor to receive a proper diagnosis and for the appropriate treatment to be prescribed.
CONTROL REDNESS WITH SUITABLE SKINCARE
Cleansers
Cleansers are a must in a daily skincare routine. However, certain cleansers can be harsh and stripping on the skin, which can cause rosacea to flare up. When selecting a cleanser, it is important to find one with soothing ingredients, free of alcohol and harsh irritants such as physical exfoliants. Also, make sure you wash your face with warm water, not hot.
HEXAM Gentle Cleanser VIVIER
A gentle pharmaceutical-grade cleanser that helps clean and purify skin by removing dirt and oil. It contains hexamidine, a unique antimicrobial with powerful anti-redness and bacteria fighting properties.
Superkind Softening Cleanser TATA HARPER
A supremely soothing, micro-foaming cleanser that’s non-stripping and works to gently dissolve buildup and impurities.
Toners
The harsh, alcohol-based toners we once knew are a thing of the past. Today’s toners are offered in an array of formulas, designed to treat pores, excess oil and overall redness and irritation. Our toner recommendations instantly hydrate and soothe the skin from irritation, making them perfect for those unexpected flare-ups.

Get instant relief for reactive moments and parched, dry skin with this calming and cooling face mist. The soothing antioxidants cocoon and calm skin, settling any irritations or skin stress.
Refreshing Toner VIVIER
This gentle, alcohol-free medical grade toner provides rejuvenating properties with the benefits of antioxidants to recondition the skin and helps restore its protective pH balance.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C serums are formulated with powerful antioxidants designed to protect the skin against environmental aggressors and to brighten the complexion. Studies have even shown that they help counter inflammation in the skin, making them ideal for those with rosacea. As always, we recommend you talk with your dermatologist or skincare specialist before incorporating a vitamin C serum into your routine.
Serum 10 VIVIER
Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C, this oil-free serum is ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It helps reduce signs of environmental damage such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and tone.
The Serum AUGUSTINUS BADER
A fast-absorbing concentrate with vitamin C and resveratrol designed to support total complexion correction, hydration and renewal. It balances and calms stressed, overly reactive skin and helps to reduce redness.
Targeted Treatments
In addition to using calming products, there are a few targeted treatments on the market that aim to correct redness in the skin. These products are formulated with specific ingredients to prevent and correct redness associated with rosacea. We recommend you use them after cleansing and toning, before applying your moisturizer and suncreen.
This product helps calm and soothe redness, inflammation, irritation and bacteria present in rosacea-prone skin or irritated skin following aesthetic procedures.
Moisturizers
Dehydrated skin can lead to irritation, which can trigger rosacea. The right moisturizer can help keep rosacea flare-ups at bay. People who have rosacea-prone skin are often prone to dry, itchy skin which causes redness to occur. The right moisturizer will provide ample hydration, all while soothing the skin from irritation.
A daily cream for sensitive skin, formulated to moisturize, regenerate skin and protect it from the elements. A great option following an aesthetic treatment or if you have red or rosacea-prone skin.
Masks
Masks can provide instant relief, as well as long-term benefits to the skin. These two masks are deeply hydrating and are formulated with ingredients that effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort and heat.
This mask has been clinically tested post-procedure to effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort, and heat. It contains pure active botanicals, calming dipeptide and hyaluronic acid.
Sun Protection
Sunscreen is a must in a skincare routine to prevent skin cancer, early signs of ageing and hyperpigmentation. It is especially important for people who suffer from rosacea, as sun exposure is a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups. Our recommendations not only protect, but they also soothe and calm the skin.
A soothing multi-protective SPF 50 with calming tripeptide technology and bisabolol, suitable for sensitive and redness-prone skin.
Holi (soleil) SPF 50 AGENT NATEUR
