Your skin changed. Your skincare didn't.
An anti-wrinkle serum for menopausal skin, with three peptide-based actives for fine lines and wrinkles.
Somewhere in your mid-40s, the products you had trusted for years stopped doing much. You didn't imagine it, and you didn't do anything wrong.
As oestrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause, skin makes less collagen. Lines around the eyes and mouth settle in, and skin feels less firm.
Genova Anti-Wrinkle Serum was made for this stage of life. It combines three actives, SNAP-8™, Reproage™ and Actifcol™, in a light serum that absorbs in seconds.
It is not a clinic procedure, and it won't work overnight. Used twice a day, most women notice smoother texture within 4 to 6 weeks, and softer-looking lines after 8 to 12 weeks. Results vary from person to person.
Designed to address: Facial wrinkles and fine lines
Suitable for: All skin types
Size: 50ml
Made in Australia

Genova Anti-Wrinkle Serum may help with the following
-
Deepening Expression Lines
The lines from smiling and frowning used to smooth out on their own. Now they are starting to stay.
-
Collagen Loss
Skin makes less collagen as oestrogen falls. Less collagen means less firmness, and lines that show more.
-
Uneven Skin Texture
Skin renews itself more slowly with age. The surface can feel rougher and look less even, which makes fine lines look deeper than they are.
-
Loss of Radiance
Menopausal skin tends to be drier, and dry skin reflects less light. The result is a complexion that can look flat or tired, even when you are neither.
Key Benefit
Why Your Wrinkles Seem to Have Arrived All at Once
They didn't, but it can feel that way. The serum uses three actives for three jobs: SNAP-8™ for expression lines, Reproage™ for skin texture, and Actifcol™ to support the look of firmer skin.
"I use everyday, morning and night, with the Ion Applicator. Absolutely wonderful results after months of use. Fine lines are gone and deeper lines are more refined. An absolute must-have for anyone's skin regime ." Carla C
Key Benefit
Where Does All That Firmness Go?
Actifcol™, a shiitake-derived active, is included to support firmer-looking skin over time. Think gradual improvement, not a lift.
"In my 50s with sensitive skin. It has improved the overall softness and texture of my skin. Non-greasy and quickly absorbed." - Elise
Key Benefit
Why Your Skin Stopped Holding Moisture
Menopausal skin holds less water, which can make lines look deeper than they are. Reproage™ is included to support hydration and a more rested look. You will still want a moisturiser over the top.
"I use this twice a day with the Ion Applicator. It has minimised my fine lines and reduced deeper lines, and dramatically improved my skin's appearance." - C Coates
Key Benefit
Why Your Skin's Texture Changed Almost Overnight
Cell turnover slows with age, so the surface can look dull and feel rougher. Reproage™ is designed to support surface renewal, which may help skin look smoother with consistent use.
"It really works, and my skin looks so much better." - Jennifer B
Key Benefit
Fits Your Routine Without Complicating It
Two drops, twice a day, after cleansing. It absorbs in seconds, leaves no greasy feel, and sits under moisturiser, sunscreen or makeup. Some customers pair it with the Genova Ion Applicator. That is optional.
"This is fantastic when used with the Ion Applicator. The lines around my mouth and cheeks have reduced quite significantly over the past few months." - C Inglis
Anti-wrinkle options for menopausal skin: how they compare
A peptide serum is one option, not the only one. Here is how it sits beside two common alternatives.
| Feature | Peptide serum (this product) | Retinol (non-prescription vitamin A) | Clinic procedures |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Cosmetic serum with three peptide-based actives | Cosmetic vitamin A serum or cream | Treatments assessed and performed by a qualified practitioner |
| How you use it | Two drops, morning and night | Usually at night, introduced gradually | By appointment |
| When change tends to show | Texture around 4 to 6 weeks, lines 8 to 12 | Trials ran 8 to 36 weeks, most 12 to 24 | Varies by procedure. Ask the practitioner |
| What the research says | Small ingredient studies report less prominent wrinkles, not all statistically significant | Mixed. A 2021 systematic review found little reliable evidence for non-prescription products | Assessed case by case by the practitioner |
| Irritation | No significant side effects reported in the peptide studies. Contains fragrance, so patch test | Can cause irritation. Not advised during pregnancy | Depends on the procedure. Some involve recovery time |
| Suits | Sensitive or mature skin, and anyone wanting a simple routine | Skin that tolerates it | Deep or established lines, or a faster change |
| Main limit | Gradual. Will not remove wrinkles | Slow, and irritation can occur | Cost, and it needs a consultation |
These are general comparisons, not medical advice. Results vary from person to person. If you are unsure which suits you, talk to your GP or dermatologist.

Nobody warned you it would happen this fast.
One year your skin was your skin. The next, the mirror showed someone a little more tired than you feel.
The beauty counter's answer is a new jar and a bigger promise. You probably have a drawer full of those.
This serum will not make you look 30. It is designed to help the skin you have now look smoother and firmer, and more like you on a good day.
If that sounds like enough, this was made for you.
Genova Anti-Wrinkle Serum is for you if
- You are in perimenopause or menopause and your lines have become more noticeable
- The skincare you have used for years no longer seems to do much
- You want one simple step, not a ten-product routine
- You have mature or sensitive skin
Genova Anti-Wrinkle Serum is not for you if
- You want instant or dramatic change. This works gradually
- You want the result of a clinic procedure. This is a cosmetic serum, not a substitute for one
- You have an active skin condition, open wound, rash or irritation on the area
- You want one product to do everything. Sun protection, hydration and diet matter as well
If you are unsure whether cosmetic skincare suits your concerns, talk to your GP or dermatologist.

- Dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types
- No appointments and no recovery time

What the research says about peptides and menopausal skin
A 2024 review in Post Reproductive Health links falling oestrogen with lower skin collagen, thinner skin, and changes in hydration and elasticity.
A 2025 review in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology looked at 10 human studies of acetyl hexapeptide-8, one of the peptides in this serum, covering 312 people. All 10 reported an improvement in how wrinkles or scars looked, though not every result was statistically significant. None reported significant side effects.
Those studies tested the ingredient, often in other formulas, not this serum. Our other actives are supported mainly by their makers' own testing. That is why we say "may help".
