Beauty news: Trinny London Take Back Time Elixir has landed

Much anticipated by fans of the brand and set to shake the beauty industry up once again, Trinny London’s Take Back Time Elixir has officially launched in Australia and New Zealand and is now available online.
Trinny London – the cult UK beauty and skincare brand founded by the iconic Trinny Woodall – are calling it their most advanced skincare innovation to date, and when I spoke with Trinny herself several years ago she couldn’t impress upon me enough that science and results were vital to their mission as a company. A longtime skincare obsessive who freely admits she has tried “everything under the sun”, she’s a woman who knows what she wants from a skincare formula, and the brand’s skincare offering thus far has been seriously impressive.

The Take Back Time Elixir
A universal, fragrance-free elixir, Take Back Time is clinically proven to repair and strengthen the skin barrier in just 30 minutes, while delivering 48 hours of deep hydration. Powered by a precision blend of next-gen ingredients, it tackles vascular ageing – a key driver of dull, tired-looking skin – head on to restore what the brand terms the five key signs of skin vitality: hydration, elasticity, smoothness, softness and luminosity.
“I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation,” Trinny has said of the new drop, “using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality.” And that’s exactly what it does, via just two pumps of its powerhouse formula.
Joining the Take Back Time Eye Treatment (which can soften visible lines around the eye area in just 7 days), this newbie is more than just surface-level skincare, it’s Trinny London’s most advanced skincare innovation to date.
And as for the term “elixir” in the title, the brand explains that unlike serums, elixirs are highly-concentrated formulas that can penetrate a lot deeper into the skin than your regular skincare heroes.

The science behind the formula
Jam-packed with all kinds of good ingredients, Take Back Time Elixir contains artichoke polyphenols, which are rich in antioxidants and incredibly restorative. They help stimulate microcirculation to boost oxygen and nutrient flow, and work alongside a Pro-Vitamin Lipid Complex – a high performing blend that includes B5, trehalose, xylitol and squalane, delivering long-lasting hydration and fortifying the skin barrier.
Lastly, everything is bought together using Micro-Infusion Technology – pharmaceutical-grade blending ensures actives penetrate deeply and weightlessly, going straight to work and ensuring that the Elixir has an incredibly lightweight feel. The results? A strengthened skin barrier that is visibly smooth, soft and luminous, free from any dry patches or dull complexions that often appear in particular during the colder months.
“Unlike traditional skincare that only targets structural ageing, Take Back Time Elixir addresses vascular ageing,” says Claire Byrne, Scientist & Chief Innovation Officer, “helping rejuvenate the skin’s microvascular network, boost oxygen and nutrient delivery, and restore radiance from within.”
And the last word has to go to Founder & CEO Trinny herself, who says: “There are days when our skin looks tired and dull – and that makes us feel tired and dull. I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation, using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality.”
