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.

A universal, natural-looking tan that won’t dry out or upset sensitive skin, and skips the sun damage. It’s the impossible made possible: a sunless tan with skincare benefits, in an organic formula that’s customizable by you.
“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.

Our team shares what they’d love to give the incredible women who inspire them every day.
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show the moms and mother figures in our lives how much they mean to us. The Etiket team has rounded up their top gift picks – what we’d love to give the incredible women who inspire us every day.
“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
