In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta is joined by Dr. Walter Neto and Dr. Brett Jarrell, founders of Serucell, to explore the brand’s groundbreaking approach to skin regeneration. Rooted in wound healing research and cellular communication, Serucell goes beyond surface-level solutions to restore the skin’s natural vitality by reprogramming its cellular language.Dr. Neto and Dr. Jarrell’s journey began in surgical medicine and biomedical science, where their work in complex wound scenarios revealed insights into cellular signaling and aging. This led to the development of Serucell’s core innovation: Cell Communication Technology (CCT). By leveraging co-cultured keratinocytes and fibroblasts, Serucell’s KFS Complex creates a natural signaling environment that prompts skin cells to revert to youthful behavior, improving collagen, elastin, and nutrient exchange.Unlike traditional anti-aging products, Serucell addresses the root causes of aging—cellular communication breakdowns. Its formulations work to repair the “rete ridge,” the vital interface between skin layers that flattens with age, reducing nutrient flow and elasticity. The result? True structural rejuvenation, not just cosmetic fixes.Using natural peptides and amino acids that the body recognizes, Serucell ensures cells respond efficiently, enhancing healing and longevity. The brand’s lab-engineered stress environment prompts cells to release regenerative signals, guiding tissues back to their youthful state.Looking ahead, Serucell is integrating AI-driven research to refine its formulations and adapt to emerging data on environmental stressors and genetic predispositions. With a focus on system-level skin care, Serucell is setting a new standard for bio-informed skincare.Tune in to discover how Serucell is redefining anti-aging through science, offering lasting skin vitality by restoring cellular harmony from the inside out.To learn more about Serucell, visit their website and social media.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta is joined by Simon Sakhai, founder of Jung+ Longevity, to explore a revolutionary approach to skin health. Departing from traditional anti-aging promises, Simon dives into the science of longevity and how understanding biological aging can reshape the way we care for our skin.Simon’s journey began in sleep science but quickly evolved after learning about the “hallmarks of aging,” the core biological mechanisms driving age-related decline. These hallmarks—such as chronic inflammation, senescent cells, and NAD decline—have profound implications for skin health, influencing everything from wrinkles to systemic aging.The discussion highlights why many current skincare solutions fall short. While traditional topicals address surface issues, the deeper drivers of aging remain untouched. Simon advocates for an inside-out approach, combining lifestyle changes and supplements to support cellular health. Key strategies include clearing senescent cells with compounds like spermidine, restoring NAD levels with niacinamide, and reducing inflammation with targeted anti-inflammatory nutrients.Simon emphasizes that skin is more than just an outer layer—it’s a gateway to overall health. Environmental stressors like UV rays and pollutants create damage that contributes to aging throughout the body. By addressing these root causes, Jung+ Longevity’s innovative solutions offer more than temporary improvements; they aim to restore skin’s regenerative potential and slow systemic aging.This episode offers a glimpse into the future of skincare, where science and longevity principles converge to create lasting, meaningful results.
