Rebuild What Ageing Takes First — Your Skin's Elasticity
Most anti-ageing products focus exclusively on collagen, but elastin — the protein responsible for your skin's ability to snap back — is actually the first structural protein to decline with age. Once lost, elastin is notoriously difficult to rebuild. Obagi ELASTIderm is the only topical skincare range clinically proven to address elastin loss, using a patented Bi-Mineral Contour Complex that stimulates the production of new elastin fibres in ageing skin.
As an Independent Nurse Prescriber, I recommend ELASTIderm to patients who notice that their skin no longer bounces back the way it used to — particularly around the eyes, jawline, and neck. These are the areas where elastin loss shows first, and where targeted treatment with the Bi-Mineral Contour Complex can deliver genuinely visible improvement. This range is unique in the market and backed by robust clinical data. ELASTIderm is part of the Obagi Medical portfolio and pairs perfectly with a broader anti-ageing & firming routine.
Complete ELASTIderm Anti-Ageing Protocol
Target elastin loss across the full contour zone with the complete ELASTIderm system: Facial Serum for overall firmness, Eye Treatment Complex for the delicate periorbital area, and Neck & Décolleté Concentrate for crepey, sagging skin below the jawline. Use together for comprehensive elastin restoration.
Clinician's Pick
ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Complex
If you buy one product from this range, make it the Eye Treatment Complex. The periorbital area is where elastin loss is most visible — fine crepey lines, loss of firmness, and hooding. This is the only topical product I've seen clinical evidence for that genuinely rebuilds elastin around the eyes. I recommend it to virtually every patient over 35, regardless of what else they're using. It layers beautifully under SPF in the morning and alongside retinoids at night.

Key Ingredients & Technologies
How to Layer ELASTIderm — AM & PM
Morning: Cleanse → Vitamin C serum → ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Complex → ELASTIderm Facial Serum → Moisturiser → SPF 30+
Evening: Double cleanse → Retinoid (Crystal Retinal or Advanced-Protocol Retinoid) → Wait 10 minutes → ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Complex → ELASTIderm Facial Serum → ELASTIderm Neck & Décolleté Concentrate → Night moisturiser
Tip: Apply the Eye Treatment Complex before the Facial Serum to ensure the periorbital area gets targeted actives first. The serum can then be blended outward from the cheeks without disturbing the eye product.
ELASTIderm — Frequently Asked Questions
What is elastin and why does it matter for ageing skin?
Elastin is the structural protein that gives skin its ability to stretch and snap back. Think of it as the spring in your mattress — collagen provides the structure, but elastin provides the bounce. From your mid-twenties, elastin production slows dramatically, and unlike collagen, your body barely produces new elastin in adulthood. This is why skin begins to sag, crease, and lose that resilient quality. Targeting elastin — not just collagen — is essential for comprehensive anti-ageing.
How is ELASTIderm different from retinol or other anti-ageing products?
Retinoids (retinol, retinal, Advanced-Protocol Retinoid) primarily stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell turnover. They are excellent for texture, fine lines, and pigmentation, but they do not specifically target elastin. ELASTIderm's Bi-Mineral Contour Complex is unique in that it directly stimulates tropoelastin production — the precursor to elastin fibres. This makes ELASTIderm complementary to retinoids rather than a replacement; ideally you use both for comprehensive anti-ageing.
How long before I see results with ELASTIderm?
In clinical studies, measurable improvements in skin elasticity and firmness were observed from 6–8 weeks of consistent use, with more significant results at 12 weeks. The eye area typically responds fastest because the skin is thinner and the product penetrates more readily. I advise patients to commit to at least 12 weeks of daily use before assessing results, and to take photographs at the start so you can objectively track improvements.
Can I use ELASTIderm alongside Medik8 Crystal Retinal?
Absolutely — this is one of my most recommended combinations. Crystal Retinal handles collagen stimulation, cell turnover, and pigmentation, while ELASTIderm addresses the elastin side that retinoids miss. In the evening, apply Crystal Retinal first, wait 10 minutes, then layer on ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Complex and Facial Serum. There are no compatibility issues between the two, and together they provide genuinely comprehensive anti-ageing coverage.
Which ELASTIderm product should I start with?
If you are choosing just one product, start with the Eye Treatment Complex. The eye area shows elastin loss earliest and most visibly, and this product delivers the most noticeable results in the shortest time. Once you have that in your routine, consider adding the Facial Serum for overall facial firmness, and the Neck & Décolleté Concentrate if crepey skin or sagging below the jawline is a concern.
