DefenAge's 7X Calming Complex Wins NewBeauty Award for "Best Inflammaging Serum"

A Targeted Treatment Designed to Calm Chronic Skin Inflammation & Address Premature Aging

CARLSBAD, Calif., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DefenAge® Skincare proudly announces that its 7X Calming Complex, a targeted treatment designed to calm inflammation-driven skin aging, has been named the "Best Inflammaging Serum" in the 2026 NewBeauty Beauty Awards.

The NewBeauty Beauty Awards are widely regarded as one of the beauty industry's most rigorous editorial testing programs, with editors evaluating thousands of products throughout the year to identify formulas that deliver measurable results and address consumers' most pressing skin concerns.

The 7X Calming Complex has been recognized for its unique approach to treating 'inflamm-aging' – the chronic, low-grade inflammation increasingly linked by dermatologists to premature skin aging, redness, and barrier disruption.

Powered by ingredients that improve inflammation, redness and hydration, along with DefenAge's patented Age-Repair Defensins®, peptides that help boost the skin's ability to create fresh skin cells, this product fights inflammation head-on by targeting both symptoms and root causes, delivering immediate comfort while reinforcing long-term resilience – an innovation unmatched by conventional calming serums.

While inflammation has long been understood in medicine, its role in skin aging has only recently entered the skincare conversation. Traditionally, most anti-aging products have focused on treating visible symptoms, such as collagen loss, wrinkles, and uneven texture, after they appear.

However, research shows that everyday stressors like UV exposure, pollution, and environmental irritants can trigger persistent, low-grade inflammation that gradually degrades skin quality over time. As a result, experts are increasingly recognizing inflamm-aging's role in these visible changes, and by calming inflammation early, they can address the root cause of many aging concerns before they fully develop or worsen – rather than simply correcting the symptoms once they appear.

Unlike traditional daily serums, the 7X Calming Complex functions as a periodic skin reset treatment. Designed to be used over a two-week period once per quarter, the concentrated formula helps calm inflammation in the short term while strengthening skin resilience to continuously combat inflammation over time.

"Inflammation is one of the most overlooked accelerators of skin aging," said DefenAge CEO, Nikolay Turovets. "For years, the industry has focused on correcting visible symptoms like wrinkles and collagen loss after they appear. Today, we understand that chronic, low-grade inflammation often creates those issues. That's why it's especially meaningful to see NewBeauty recognize the 7X Calming Complex with the 'Best Inflammaging Serum' award. This formula not only calms irritation, but also activates our patented Age-Repair Defensins® to help skin regenerate while addressing the root causes of inflamm-aging."

The 7X Calming Complex is available for $68 at DefenAge.com and through select dermatology and aesthetic practices nationwide.
