Trinny London's new serum helps you ‘age backwards' and repairs skin in 30 mins
If you feel as if your skin is looking dull, dehydrated and generally a little lacklustre, Trinny London's latest skincare launch might be just the thing for you, with some clever science behind it and some impressive clinical results.
Trinny London – founded by Trinny Woodall – has today dropped its newest skincare innovation, Take Back Time Elixir. This light, liquid serum penetrates deeply into the skin to restore five key signs of vitality: elasticity, smoothness, softness, luminosity and hydration – in fact, the brand's lab tests show that it increased hydration levels for 48 hours. Sounds like youth in a bottle, we think!
Take Back Time, priced at £79, contains micro-infusion technology to get its effective ingredients to penetrate to a cellular level to target the vascular network. As we age, this system slows by up to 40%, leaving our skin looking dull and and tired, the brand explains. This smart formula, however, immediately transforms dehydrated skin into skin, boosting its vitality, suppleness and hydration.
It's also been proven to have almost instant effects on the skin's health, with clinical tests showing that it repairs and strengthens the skin barrier in just 30 minutes.
And if you're wondering what an 'elixir' is and how it fits into your skincare routine, Trinny herself helpfully explains this on the website, calling it a formula that " will penetrate more deeply into your skin than a serum", explaining that two pumps should be patted into the skin after cleansing and applying serum, and before your SPF or moisturiser. "I sometimes use it just on its own when I literally have two seconds to get out of the door, then I put an SPF on top," Trinny adds.
REN Clean Skincare and Caudalie sell their own products that they calls elixirs, although both of these formulations are very different; REN's is an oil, and Caudalie's is a mist.
One customer has already tried it and left their glowing review on the Trinny London website: "Love this elixir, I haven't used anything like it before. It's between a serum and a cream and dramatically hydrates my skin," they wrote.
If you're already a fan of Trinny London or are thinking of adding a full Trinny skincare routine to your shopping basket, the brand says that Take Back Time Elixir pairs well with its bestselling Take Back Time Eye Treatment; you can even buy the two together for £130, saving you £14 compared to buying them individually.
If, however, you don't fancy adding an additional step into your skincare routine and are looking for a one-step serum that boosts radiance, we also rate Sculpted by Aimee HydraGlo serum, £30, and the new Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced, £69 – you can read our beauty editor's full review of it here.

British brand behind 'magic' anti-ageing beauty buy shoppers claim 'takes 10 years off' announces major new launch
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more British beauty brand Trinny London has revealed its newest skincare release, sparking a wave of excitement among fans who are already 'wowed' by the results. Trinny London, famed for its 'magic' Take Back Time Eye Treatment that shoppers say takes 10 years off, has launched its latest innovation: Take Back Time Elixir, designed to revive tired skin with deep hydration, luminosity, and radiant vitality. Trinny London Take Back Time Elixir Trinny London has launched Take Back Time Elixir, a groundbreaking skincare treatment that targets vascular ageing to restore radiance, deeply hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier. Clinically proven to deliver visible results in 30 minutes and 48 hours of lasting hydration, fans are calling it a 'game changer' that transforms dull, tired skin. £79 Shop Take Back Time Elixir (£79) is clinically proven to 'significantly repair and strengthen the skin barrier in 30 minutes', while delivering '48 hours of intense, lasting hydration'. And no time has been wasted, with the brand already racking up glowing reviews from customers calling the new beauty buy a 'game changer' - one even claiming it's 'totally transformed my skin'. One happy shopper who gave the product a five-star review shared: 'In the past week, I've really started to see an improvement in my skin tone. People have commented on 'how well' I look!!'. 'Using this Facial Elixir has totally changed my complexion for the better,' a second reviewer shared. 'It has a nice plump warm glow, reduced lines and most of all has almost eliminated large pores.' A third raved: 'Don't know what I did without this product before ! My skin looks visibly hydrated , I'm obsessed'. Founder and CEO Trinny Woodall says the brand's mission was to offer a product that addresses skin ageing at a cellular level, to combat dull, tired skin and restore its vitality. 'There are days when our skin looks tired and dull – and that makes us feel tired and dull,' Trinny explained. 'I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation, using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality.' Most skincare products focus solely on structural ageing in the skin's foundational layers, such as the breakdown of collagen and elastic. Take Back Time Elixir goes even deeper, targeting vascular ageing and the visible signs of it on the skin. As we age, the small blood vessels in the skin - capillaries - become weaker, more prone to breakage, less elastic, and less efficient at delivering oxygen and nutrients, and eliminating toxins. This decline is called vascular ageing, and impacts microcirculation in these vessels. Reduced microcirculation leads to visible signs of ageing, appearing as redness or flushing, particularly around the cheeks and nose, visible broken capillaries, or spider veins. It also leads to diminished radiance and general dullness, due to the reduced blood flow and oxygen to skin cells. Powered by a precision blend of high-performance ingredients, Take Back Time Elixir works to stimulate microcirculation to boost the flow of oxygen and nutrients, and restore radiance and vitality to skin. 'Unlike traditional skincare that only targets structural ageing, Take Back Time Elixir addresses vascular ageing – helping rejuvenate the skin's microvascular network, boost oxygen and nutrient delivery, and restore radiance from within,' says Claire Byrne, Scientist & Chief Innovation Officer for Trinny London. The elixir's hero ingredient is Artichoke Polyphenols. Powerful plant-based antioxidants, extracted from the leaves of the artichoke plant, stimulate microcirculation by working to strengthen blood vessels and the integrity of the capillaries, and support healthy circulation. This powerhouse anti-inflammatory ingredient works in tandem with a Pro-Vitamin Lipid Complex to bolster the skin barrier, while the potent blend of B5, trehalose, xylitol and squalane delivers intense hydration. A micro-infusion technology delivery system infuses these active ingredients into the skin in ultra-fine particles for deeper penetration, even distribution and optimised absorption - delivering maximum efficacy. A little goes a long way with this highly concentrated formula, with two pumps applied to skin after cleansing (and a serum, if you're using one) and before moisturiser and SPF. This innovation follows the brand's Take Back Time Eye Treatment, released last year, and the two products can be used in tandem. Take Back Time Eye, which has earned more than 200 five-star reviews and is hailed as a 'little pot of gold', focuses on brightening and firming the eye area, and has been clinically proven to soften lines in just seven days. 'I am in my 50's so fine lines are a thing. Take Back Time does just that! It has taken years off of my eye lines,' one said. 'Absolutely love, love, love this product. Takes off 10 years. Couldn't be happier. Amazingly good,' another added.

Trinny London launches new anti-ageing elixir that 'repairs skin in 30 minutes'
Trinny London has launch a new product desgined to rejuvenate skin and repair its barrier in 30 minutes, with shoppers claiming it's a "game changer" for plumper skin. It's the Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir, a luxury skincare addition that is said to be "more precious than a serum". Used as a must-have for morning and evening routines to provide a hydration boost, the £79 elixir is composed of a rich mixture of pro-vitamin B5, trehalose, xylitol, and squalane - all formulated into ultra-fine droplets that go deeper into the skin. The Skin Vitality Elixir is the latest addition to the skincare range and can be used along with the Take Back Time Eye Treatment(£65). Founder Trinny Woodall described it as: "It's a precious wonderful skincare formulation that will penetrate deeply into your skin. Something in a way that's more precious than a serum, it works slightly differently, it's going to go deeper because it also has micro-infusion technology - this is a process that enables molecule sizes to get deeper into skin." This fragrance-free elixir, housed in a silver bottle, boasts clinical trial results showing it begins to repair the skin barrier in under 30 minutes. Besides Trinny London, Victoria Beckham endorses the Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum with TFC8, a product she collaborated on with Augustinus Bader. Priced at £116, this serum targets signs of ageing while working to firm, lift and smooth the skin. Chantecaille's Bio Lifting Serum+, retailing at £285, is a luxurious serum infused with pure botanicals. It aims to smooth horizontal and vertical lines, moisturise, immediately lift, visibly firm and protect against blue light pollution. Manufactured in Switzerland, it claims to reduce wrinkles within four weeks. Trinny outlined the steps to apply the Take Back Time Elixir, stating: "It's very simple to use, just take two pumps of the Elixir and you press that into your skin. You can use it directly after cleansing but if you have a slightly more complex routine, you might use it after you do your exfoliation or after you do your serum, and I put SPF on top." Early users of the product were delighted with the noticeable improvements to their skin. One fan enthused: "I really enjoyed using this product, my skin is glowing and feels much more supple and luminous. " Another shared her experience, saying: "The glow was instant, great little mood boost and the full effect of the product took around three days to become optimal and see a difference." While no negative reviews have been posted online, one Instagram user voiced her concerns: "Shame I can't use it. Will make my acne, greasy large pore skin worse, even though I'm 50, I have trouble with that and loose sagging skin and wrinkles."
