6 steps to youthful skin – The Atomy Absolute Skincare Set in review

My passion for radiant, healthy skin

As a beautician and naturopathic practitioner, nothing is more important to me than helping my clients achieve radiant, healthy skin. Every complexion tells a story—of stressful days, of happy moments, of aging. I've tested countless products in my practice, but rarely has a skincare line impressed me as much as the Atomy Absolute CellActive™ Skincare Set . From the very first time I tried it, I sensed there's more to it than just anti-aging —it feels like skincare with heart and high-tech at the same time. Today, I'd like to take you on a journey where I'll introduce you to this special set and show you why it's my new secret weapon for timelessly beautiful skin.

De-aging instead of anti-aging – a new approach

We're all familiar with the term anti-aging , but Atomy goes a step further. Instead of simply halting the aging process, Atomy focuses on "de-aging," actively reversing skin aging. What does that mean specifically? Conventional anti-aging care often aims to temporarily plump up wrinkles or lighten dark spots. Atomy's de-aging approach, on the other hand, works deeper: It actively repairs existing skin damage and regenerates the skin from within. This not only slows the aging process, but actually restores a youthful glow.

This is made possible through intensive research and cutting-edge technologies. Atomy has developed its successful "Skincare 6 System" line over the years, integrating six key technologies to create Absolute CellActive™. Four proven skincare technologies have been refined and supplemented by two groundbreaking new ones. One example is essential green tea water : instead of regular water, antioxidant-rich green tea water—enriched with vitamin E (tocopherol) and catechin—forms the basis of many Absolute products. This high-quality elixir moisturizes and protects the skin from the very first application. The skincare routine is accompanied by a delicate tuberose fragrance , turning each application into a luxurious experience for the senses.

In addition to natural ingredients, Atomy Absolute relies on scientific innovation. A so-called Absolute Code – a multi-complex of four exclusive active ingredients – runs through all products. This includes, among others, highly pure botanical EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor from plant sources to promote cell renewal), Dormin (Narcissus bulb extract to slow down skin aging), a powerful antioxidant from the Yosemite region, and lupin protein for increased elasticity. This combination of active ingredients is unique and aims to preserve all important skin functions in a youthful state. To ensure that the valuable substances reach exactly where they are needed, Atomy has developed an intelligent capsule technology : Ligands (binding molecules) guide encapsulated active ingredients precisely to problem areas of the skin. This ensures that, for example, a firming active ingredient targets wrinkles, while a lightening active ingredient is transported to a dark spot.

Such high-tech processes—from fermented extracts for enhanced absorption to multi-layer liposomes that deliver both water- and fat-soluble active ingredients securely into the skin—make the difference. In short: Absolute CellActive™ is next-generation skincare, born of nature and science.

Before I introduce you to each product, here's a bonus: The entire skincare line has been awarded the top rating of "Very Good" by the renowned German dermatology institute Dermatest . For me, as a professional, this was another reason to try Absolute—and my high expectations were even exceeded.

The Atomy Absolute CellActive™ Set and its products

The Absolute CellActive™ Set consists of six perfectly coordinated products. Each component has its own role in your skincare routine, and together they create a complete program for youthful skin. Below, I'll introduce you to the toner, ampoule, serum, lotion, eye complex, and nutrition cream in detail – including their application, effects, special ingredients, and my personal impression of how they feel on your skin.

Absolute Toner – Freshness boost and preparation

The Absolute Toner is a high-quality facial toner that revitalizes and refreshes the skin. I use it morning and evening, immediately after cleansing. Just a few drops on a cotton pad (or directly in the palms of my hands) are enough to cover my entire face. I feel this refreshing boost every time I use it – the toner instantly hydrates and soothes my skin. Redness after cleansing subsides, and my skin feels plump and soft.

The toner's effect is twofold: On the one hand, it removes any remaining residue and dead skin cells, and on the other, it boosts the skin with moisture, optimally preparing it for the subsequent care steps. The special ingredients include the aforementioned green tea extract water and niacinamide (vitamin B3) , which brightens the complexion and is known for its balancing effect. You can really feel your skin absorbing this toner. The skin feels refreshed, smooth, and not at all sticky—in fact, the skin is toned and can now absorb the active ingredients of the ampoule and serum much better.

Absolute Ampoule – Intensive concentrate with de-aging effect

The Absolute Ampoule is the centerpiece of the set—an ampoule with exclusive technology that combats the signs of skin aging. This small bottle contains the highest concentration of Absolute Code (30% of the active ingredient complex, to be exact). I recommend applying the ampoule morning and evening, directly after toner. The dropper allows for hygienic and precise dispensing of just a few drops. A pro tip from Atomy: It's best to use an ampoule completely within a month—this roughly corresponds to the skin's natural renewal cycle, and this way you'll achieve maximum effect.

The application feels luxurious: I pour the serum concentrate into my hand and gently spread it over my face and neck. As soon as I apply it, I notice how rich yet light the texture is – it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling firm and hydrated, with a hint of tuberose fragrance. The effect of the ampoule is impressive: It acts like a fountain of youth booster for the skin. Highly effective anti-aging ingredients – including EGF and peptides – stimulate cell renewal and can plump up fine lines from within. Antioxidants protect against further skin aging. Many of my clients report that their skin appears plumper and more radiant after just a few weeks, especially in troublesome areas like the wrinkles around the eyes or on the forehead. This is precisely where the de-aging effect is most noticeable: wrinkles appear reduced, and the skin texture is refined.

The ampoule's special ingredients read like a high-end cocktail list: in addition to the Absolute Code Complex with EGF, it also contains fermented yeast extract (Bifida Ferment Lysate) to strengthen the skin barrier, lupin protein for increased elasticity, and even ginseng extract , which is valued in Korea for its rejuvenating properties. The skin feels plump and silky after using the ampoule – it feels full and nourished without being weighed down. For me personally, the ampoule is the highlight of the set: You can practically feel your skin gratefully absorbing every precious drop.

Absolute Serum – elasticity and youthful radiance

Next up is the Absolute Serum , a highly concentrated serum for visible skin rejuvenation. I apply this serum after the ampoule , also morning and evening. Two to three pumps are sufficient. The texture of the serum is slightly creamier than that of the ampoule, but still light and easily absorbed.

Its effect primarily targets the skin's inner elasticity . The serum penetrates deeply and supports collagen formation and moisture retention in the deeper layers of the skin. It contains 20% Absolute Code—another generous dose of this active ingredient complex with anti-aging power. I find the effect on skin structure particularly remarkable: After a few applications, my skin feels firmer , as if cushioned from within, and small wrinkles caused by dryness disappear. At the same time, the serum provides a fresh glow, that radiance that characterizes youthful skin.

Among the ingredients , in addition to the well-known mix (niacinamide, fermented extracts, EGF, etc.), soluble collagen , which smooths the skin's surface, as well as ceramides and beta-glucan , which strengthen the skin barrier, stand out. Plant extracts such as oat kernel and turmeric extract also support the soothing and regenerating effect. The skin feels wonderfully smooth after application: The serum absorbs completely and leaves a slightly saturated, but not greasy, feeling. My skin feels elastic and well-hydrated afterward—the ideal preparation for the subsequent moisturizer.

Absolute Lotion – Moisturizer with radiance

After serum, I apply Absolute Lotion – a lotion that intensively moisturizes the skin and makes it glow. This lotion has a consistency reminiscent of a light emulsion. I massage it into my face and neck in circular motions. It feels rich at first, but it absorbs nicely after a short time. If there's any excess, I gently pat the lotion in until it's completely absorbed by my skin (this little massage also stimulates circulation).

The effect of the lotion is to balance the skin and replenish moisture reserves. After applying serum, skin often tends to develop dry patches or a slight feeling of tightness – this is where the lotion comes in, ensuring that the oil and moisture balance is restored. It acts as a connecting element between the thin serums and the final cream. Immediately after application, the skin feels moisturized and soothed, but also smoother and slightly firmer.

The lotion's special ingredients include shea butter and argan oil – both nourish the skin and retain moisture. Despite this, the lotion is non-greasy, thanks to its sophisticated formulation: Modern emulsifiers and Absolute Code active ingredients (here with a focus on "LI," which stands for lifting/elasticity) ensure that everything is quickly absorbed. It also contains soothing plant extracts such as aloe vera and chamomile extract, which can reduce redness. The skin feels very pleasant: now optimally nourished, it feels soft and supple, and has a light glow without being shiny.

Absolute Eye Complex – Eye care against wrinkles and signs of fatigue

The eye area deserves special attention, and that's where Absolute Eye Complex comes in – an eye cream that combats the signs of aging. The delicate skin around the eyes is particularly prone to dryness, dark circles, and puffiness. I apply the Eye Complex morning and evening after applying lotion around my eyes: a small dab under each eye and a dab on the brow bone is sufficient. Then I gently pat the cream in with my ring fingers and massage it in with light circular motions, starting from the inner corner of the eye and working outwards. This little massage works wonders – you can really feel how the circulation is stimulated and the cream takes effect.

The Eye Complex has a two-pronged effect : First, it smooths wrinkles , and second, the formula provides a subtle lifting effect in the eye area. Regular use of the cream does indeed make your eyes appear more awake and your skin around the eyes firmer. Dark circles are lightened—the niacinamide and adenosine certainly play a role here—and even expression lines (like "crow's feet") appear less noticeable. A huge plus is that the eye cream is very well tolerated : It doesn't sting or creep into your eyes; even my clients with very sensitive eyes tolerated it well.

Among the ingredients , it's notable that it also contains 20% Absolute Code (a full anti-aging active ingredient mix). There are also special helpers for the eye area: Panax ginseng root extract, for example – ginseng promotes microcirculation and helps combat tired-looking skin. Allantoin and beta-glucan soothe and moisturize, which helps combat wrinkles. And, of course, it also contains peptides that stimulate collagen production. The Eye Complex feels rich on the skin, yet the cream absorbs well without leaving a greasy film. I find the eye area smooth and well-nourished after applying the cream, and eye makeup can be applied over it without any problems. In the morning, this treatment gives me a more awake, fresher look – I simply look less tired.

Absolute Nutrition Cream – rich nourishing cream for regeneration and firmness

The crowning glory is the Absolute Nutrition Cream , a highly enriched cream to reduce the signs of skin aging. I use this nourishing cream as the final step in the morning and evening . It has a wonderfully velvety, rich consistency—exactly what you would expect from a good anti-aging cream. I take a hazelnut-sized amount, spread it in my palms, and then gently press it onto my cheeks, forehead, chin, and especially my neck. Then I massage the cream in using upward motions, starting from the décolleté and over the neck to my face. This way, the skin not only receives the active ingredients but also a little massage that stimulates circulation.

The effect of the Nutrition Cream is immediately noticeable: It essentially "completes" the previous care steps by sealing in all the active ingredients and infusing them into the skin overnight (or during the day). This cream is intensely nourishing – drier areas of skin feel immediately more relaxed, and the feeling of tightness is gone. At the same time, it has a firming effect : the manufacturer describes it as "triple elasticity," as the cream improves elasticity on several levels – in the face and especially in the often-neglected neck. With regular use of this cream, the skin does indeed appear firmer and plumper, especially along the jawline and on the neck. Contours appear more defined, which is a huge benefit, especially for mature skin.

The special ingredients of the Nutrition Cream read like a best-of anti-aging product: In addition to the Absolute Code (here with a focus on firming/lifting), we find ceramides for the skin barrier, shea butter and plant oils for intensive care, as well as ferments and peptides for cell regeneration. Another highlight is Bifida Ferment Lysate , a fermented active ingredient that has proven convincing in studies with its skin-soothing and repairing properties. Not to forget vitamin C -rich plant extracts, which can ensure a more even skin tone. The skin feels wonderful after using the cream: It feels soft and well protected - without a heavy greasy film. I especially love this cared-for feeling in the evening when you have applied the entire set: It almost looks "plumped up" and you wake up the next morning with a fresh complexion.

Synergy of the care program and my application tip

You may be wondering: Do all these steps really only unfold their full effect when used as a set ? From my experience, I can answer that with a resounding yes . Each component in the Absolute CellActive™ program builds on the previous one – like gears that mesh perfectly. The toner prepares, the ampoule and serum deliver highly concentrated active ingredients deep into the skin, the lotion and eye cream provide moisture and special care, and the Nutrition Cream seals in and comprehensively regenerates. In combination, this 6-step program achieves results that would be almost impossible to achieve with individual products: The skin is simultaneously supplied with moisture, lipids, growth factors, and antioxidants – anti-aging (sorry, de-aging ) can hardly be more comprehensive.

After just a few weeks of using the complete set, I noticed changes in my clients and in my own skin:

Dermatologically approved – proven safety and effectiveness

The Atomy Absolute CellActive™ Skincare Set was tested by the independent German research institute Dermatest and awarded the top rating of "Very Good." This seal confirms the high skin compatibility and effectiveness of the entire skincare line.

For me as a cosmetician and naturopathic practitioner, this is especially important: You can be assured that Absolute not only looks luxurious, but is also scientifically tested and suitable for all skin types. This gives you the peace of mind that you're giving your skin care that's safe, effective, and trustworthy.
