Trusted skin experts at IDC Dermo deliver a tailored approach to promote skin longevity throughout every stage of life.
Like all parts of the body, age and hormonal shifts can significantly impact skin health. In the first five years following menopause, collagen can decline by approximately 30 per cent, affecting skin firmness and elasticity. At the same time, the skin’s renewal process slows with age, while natural hyaluronic acid levels also decline significantly, by approximately 50 per cent by age 60.
To improve longevity and health throughout each phase, skin care must address these challenges at the source instead of simply mitigating the symptoms of aging. This is the ethos of IDC Dermo, a proudly Canadian leader in the science and physiology of skin aging and menopause-related skin changes. Founded in 2008 by Éric Dupont (PhD, Endocrinology) and business leader Luc Dupont, their formulas recognize that cellular needs shift over time and can be impacted by hormonal shifts and daily environmental stresses.
Backed by 25+ years of research alongside dermatologists, their Canadian patented protocol ReGen16 targets all 16 root causes of aging, restoring vitality, and lasting balance. Recently, they’ve launched the IDC Ultime Premium Micro Serum powered by ReGen16 and the new exclusive OmegaPearl™ Technology, with omega 3, 6, and 9, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Its innovative formula progressively delivers ingredients to optimize absorption, making it ideal for skin that feels less responsive and needs targeted support.

What do you wish women knew about what happens to their skin as they age?
As early as thirty-five, women can experience accelerated skin changes due to estrogen loss. They may lose moisture retention and facial definition wrinkles deepen, and skin feels thinner. These shifts can feel sudden, causing people to think they’re doing something wrong because their established skin care routine stops working. Fear not, that’s just the natural progression of your body!
There isn’t a single solution that’ll work for everyone – hormonal skin aging varies person to person. Perimenopause and menopause trigger significant biological changes to the skin. Understanding these hormonal shifts is the key to helping your skin through these phases. When the skin has what it needs to stay resilient and function well, it’ll feel and look healthier, too.
What sets the ReGen16 apart as a skin care formula?
ReGen16 was created as a response to a recognized issue – we wanted to move the needle in skin aging science. It works to treat the actual root causes of aging, not just mitigate the symptoms like fine lines and wrinkles. It does so by boosting the skin’s eight pro-youth mechanisms (including oxygenation, hydration, barrier function, and energy production), while also slowing down the eight aging mechanisms (like DNA damage, inflammation, pigmentation, and tissue stiffness). That’s the IDC difference – formulas focused on skin longevity have up to 45% active ingredients using physiological doses and work to reprogram the way your skin functions, leading to clinically proven, visible results.
