First Signs Anti-Ageing Skincare - Freeze Time Before Age Takes Hold

Surmanti’s First Signs Anti-Ageing Range
Plant-Based | Clinical-Grade | Made Fresh in NZ | Cruelty-Free | Glass Packaging

Not Ready to Age Like Your Mum?
You’re glowing, thriving, and confident — but your skin might be showing the first signs of change:
– A few fine lines
– Dullness that wasn’t there last year
– Makeup not sitting quite the same

This isn’t about reversing damage. It’s about freezing time before it leaves a mark.

Welcome to Surmanti’s First Signs Anti-Ageing range — your simplified, science-backed skincare ritual for glowing, balanced, resilient skin.

Why It Works: Clean Science Meets Real Results
Every formula is packed with active botanicals clinically shown to prevent and reduce the first visible signs of ageing — without irritating your skin barrier.

Hero Ingredients That Make the Difference

🌿 Kakadu Plum Extract – One of the richest natural sources of Vitamin C, brightens and protects.
💧 Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) – Holds 4x more moisture than hyaluronic acid for deep hydration.
✨ Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) – A peptide that reduces expression lines like “nature’s Botox.”
🌱 CycloRetin™ – Gentle, non-irritating retinol alternative that stimulates collagen.

What Makes CycloRetin™ Better Than Traditional Retinol?

Traditional Retinol	CycloRetin™
Can cause irritation, dryness, peeling	Gentle, no irritation or peeling
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding	Safe and plant-derived
Breaks down in sunlight – only for night use	Day and night safe
Can weaken skin barrier over time	Strengthens skin barrier and collagen

Why What You Put on Your Skin Matters

According to Dr. Philippa Darbre, the skin is the body’s most absorbent organ — and what you apply topically can impact your overall health over time.

That’s why Surmanti is free from hormone disruptors, silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and animal testing.

Everything we make is fresh, safe, and designed to support your skin for the long haul — not just what’s trending on TikTok.

How to Use the First Signs Anti-Ageing Range
💡 Before You Begin
Exfoliate using the First Signs Gel Exfoliator.
To get the best results, gently exfoliate the face, décolletage, and neck area thoroughly in the evening. This removes built-up dead skin cells so your new skincare can absorb properly and deliver visible results faster.
Continue to exfoliate 1–2 times a week in the evening thereafter.
