Discover how the menopause inspired Charlotte Vøhtz, the founder of Green People, to create her signature Age Defy+ tinted DD creams as we reveal what makes this anti-ageing skin tint the best moisturiser for ageing skin over 50.
Menopause & me
I thought I knew my skin better than anyone, and then, just like that, I approached my 50s and my skin started to change. I’d wake to skin that felt tight and, at times, itchy. That healthy glow I had taken for granted? Gone! And I soon realised I wasn’t alone. Many women experience drier skin in their 50s due to menopause.
My friends would tell me how their skin was itching with dryness and beg me to create a cream that actually worked for menopausal skin, keeping skin soft, calm and comfortable as they fanned those hot flushes.
But while it’s perfectly normal to experience dry, itchy skin in your 50s, you don’t have to put up with it. Devoting time to looking after your skin can make all the difference.
My journey to the perfect anti-ageing moisturiser
When I hit my fifties, I knew my skin needed more, but I didn’t want a lengthy routine; I didn’t have the time for that.
I felt strongly that skin care shouldn’t feel like a chore so I poured my energy into researching ingredients for a truly menopause-friendly moisturiser, the ultimate multi-purpose skin cream for women in their fifties that not only locked in moisture but also targeted those 50+ concerns my friends and I shared – pigmentation, unevenness and fine lines. The lot!
And then I had my breakthrough. Plant stem cell technology, the science-backed ingredient from the Sea Fennel plant, that felt like my personal Eureka! moment and allowed me to create my bestselling Age Defy+ Tinted Moisturisers.

“A couple of years ago, I hit the peri menopause time of my life. I was finding putting my usual foundation on my face was causing or exacerbating flushes so it was easier to just stop using it. I found I didn’t feel myself, and after having someone gift me something from the Green People, I decided to try their tinted moisturiser.
It’s brilliant and just what I need for my skin. I feel like I have some make-up on my face, but at the same time, it’s not heavy and doesn’t feel like I’m encasing my face and skin.
Since I started using it, I haven’t experienced the face flushes I’d been having. Whilst a little expensive at this time of financial difficulty we’re experiencing, I waited for an offer and just had to reorder. I find I don’t need to use it every day, so it lasts for quite a while.
I’m very impressed and would definitely recommend the product”

Charlotte's top tip
To create the perfect primer for your Age Defy+ Tinted DD Cream, combine Age Defy+ Collagen Boost Vitamin C Serum with a few drops of Age Defy+ Cell Enrich Facial Oil. I use a ratio of 1:1, using slightly less oil in the summer months.
If you experience breakouts or redness, create your primer by blending Age Defy+ Anti-Redness Booster Drops or Age Defy+ Purifying Booster Drops with Age Defy+ Vitamin C Serum.
Why use stem cell skin care in your 50s
Grown on rocky foreshores in Brittany, Sea Fennel has evolved extraordinary resilience and is one of nature's richest sources of antioxidants, and its plant stem cell extracts are full to the brim with youth-boosting benefits:
- Intense hydration to plump and smooth fine lines
- Skin renewal stimulation for rejuvenated radiance
- Antioxidant protection against UVB-induced free radicals
But don’t just take our word for it – this natural menopause moisturiser is backed by science.
Clinical trials have shown that after 56 days of treatment, the stem cells give:
- 20% increase in radiance
- 39% reduction of wrinkles
- 41% increase in skin tone
After just 2 hours, collagen synthesis increases, and epidermal cell renewal also increases. It has a skin-lightening action!
