i tested Young Goose for a year

Here’s what actually happened to my skin. 

Real, measurable results:

  • UV Damage: Double-digit improvement (up to +20 percentile points)
  • Brown Spots: Noticeable clearing of stubborn pigmentation
  • Wrinkles: Up to +26 percentile improvement around the eyes
  • Inflammation: Dramatic reduction in redness
  • Long-term Gains: Further UV damage reduction even in months 7–12

my skeptical starting point

I was skeptical. I’d tried plenty of so-called “anti-aging” products before that promised a lot but delivered little. Then I had a really productive conversation with Amitay Eshel, CEO of Young Goose, diving deep into the science behind their products.

Once I understood the available evidence, I decided to give Young Goose Skincare a proper try, documenting my journey every 2-3 months with high-definition skin imaging equipment.

Months 1–6

results that surprised me

For the first six months, I used the YouTH Reset Restorative Serum and YouTH Daily Moisturizing Cream twice daily: morning and evening on a freshly washed face.

I tracked progress with a VISIA scanner every two months. It’s a clinical-grade imaging system that analyzes your skin and gives you percentile scores compared to others of the same age and skin type. For most markers like wrinkles and spots, a higher percentile means better skin. For UV damage, a lower score is better.

I saw clear improvements in UV damage, brown spots, and wrinkles. The gains were especially noticeable in pigmentation that had been stubborn for years.

Months 7–12

light activated DNA repair

After the success I had with YouTH Daily and YouTH Reset, I decided to permanently add both of these products to my skincare regimen on a daily basis. 

Naturally, I became curious about what else Young Goose Skincare had to offer - and decided to do a follow-up experiment with their Light-Activated DNA Repair Serum over the next 6 months. I used this product in the evening for 4-5 days per week in the evenings, followed by 20 minutes with my red light therapy mask. 

Much to my continued surprise, results didn’t plateau or improve marginally - they accelerated. This next phase delivered further visible reductions in UV spots, redness, and also in inflammation.
