Dior Unveils Skin Longevity Compass at Reverse Aging Conference

other · 2026-08-05

This spring, Dior convened prominent longevity scientists at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes to explore the possibility of reversing aging. The gathering underscored Dior's commitment to research in this field, unveiling the Skin Longevity Compass, which outlines the biological pathways that influence skin aging. The analysis encompassed data from over 300,000 human cells, 12,000 genes, and 1,000 biomarkers. Founded in 2023, Dior's Reverse Aging Board includes global experts in longevity and skin science. Noteworthy discoveries, published in Nature Aging, indicate that skin plays an active role in the aging process. Professor Vadim Gladyshev noted that while longevity is the ultimate aim, reverse aging serves as the approach. Key insights highlighted pathways such as circadian rhythm disruption and oxidative stress, portraying aging as a complex interplay of biological processes shaped by well-being and social ties.
