"Paula's Choice released their Cellular Youth Longevity Serum, which claims to be an unparalleled longevity serum that visibly reverses the look of skin age, restoring firmness, smoothness, and radiance for a younger look longer, but the ingredients are pretty basic, and it just feels like they've chucked in the word longevity on a normal moisturizing serum."

"It's also got mushroom extract. It looks to be like it's fragrance-free. Honestly, this looks pretty expensive. If you're going to drop 72 bucks on Paula's Choice, there's a retinoid that's also 72 bucks, and I think [...] that's probably a little bit better anti-aging investment in my opinion. This age serum looks okay. It looks fragrance-free. There's a lot of products that use thymulin 4 peptide in them and you don't necessarily need to spend 72 bucks to get it. So yeah, pretty expensive."

"This is 1 oz, 30 mL, and it retails for 72 bucks. [...] I'm on my second month now using it, but by the end of this month there I'm sure there won't be any left. It's thicker so a little bit doesn't go as long of a way as I'd like. [...] In terms of the IT factor it's not a must have especially given the price. I'm not a fan that they added some of these colorizing ingredients such as tin oxides, synthetic fluorography, iron oxides, titanium dioxide."

"It's like $80. [...] I can't see the justification for why it costs so much money. I used it, I emptied it, I liked it. [...] I just don't understand the price. And I have a hard time wholeheartedly recommending it because of that. [...] It's kind of a half and half mixture there on claims. It's nice, but it's probably not necessary, especially at that price and especially in this economy."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
