The 2026 Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference is now over!

The Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference returned for its 10th edition on 23–24 June, bringing the industry together at a pivotal moment in the evolution of skin ageing science.

With a strong focus on systems biology and its role in understanding skin ageing as an interconnected, whole-body process, this year’s conference explored how advances across biology, technology and clinical insight are reshaping anti-ageing strategies. The programme brought together the insights, conversations and expertise that make this conference such a valuable and forward-thinking experience.
