<p>In 2026, aging no longer feels like a quiet compromise. With Dior Capture&rsquo;s latest scientific breakthrough in reverse aging, skin longevity becomes an act of confidence, privilege, and power &mdash; backed by world-class research and embodied by Charlize Theron.</p>

<p data-start="416" data-end="836">In 2026, aging is no longer framed as something to brace against. With new skincare technologies rewriting the rules, time feels less like an adversary and more like an advantage &mdash; something to own, refine, and even accelerate on your own terms. At <strong data-start="663" data-end="704"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Dior</span></span></strong>, this philosophy feels particularly pointed. Aging, here, is not softened or erased; it is recalibrated. A privilege. A power move.</p>
<p data-start="838" data-end="1234">That ethos was palpable in Japan, where Dior convened its global scientific minds at the heart of regenerative research. Against the backdrop of Kyoto, long a symbol of longevity, discipline, and ritual, Dior unveiled the next chapter of <strong data-start="1074" data-end="1085">Capture</strong>, its most advanced anti-aging franchise to date, now grounded in what the house calls <em data-start="1172" data-end="1187">Reverse Aging</em> science.&nbsp;<span class="" data-state="delayed-open" aria-describedby="radix-_r_11o_"><span class="relative inline-flex items-center" aria-describedby="radix-_r_11o_"><button class="ms-1 flex h-[25px] text-[10px] leading-[13px] rounded-xl corner-superellipse/1.1 items-center justify-center gap-1 px-2 relative text-token-text-secondary! hover:text-token-text-primary! hover:bg-token-bg-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-bg-secondary bg-[#f4f4f4] "><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" class="h-[16px] w-[16px] object-contain text-token-text-primary! flex-none icon-sm"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-c9exbsc1.svg#554074" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></button></span></span></p>
<h3 data-start="1236" data-end="1279">A Global Brain Trust, Centered in Japan</h3>
<p data-start="1281" data-end="1803">Dior&rsquo;s credibility in skin longevity is not cosmetic but institutional. Dior Science now operates across five international research centers, supported by over 650 collaborators and more than 300 patents. At the Japan summit, the house underscored its commitment to rigorous science by spotlighting the Dior Reverse Aging Board: a collective of 18 leading scientists from institutions including Harvard, Stanford, Brown, and key Asian research hubs in Kyoto, Beijing, and Singapore.</p>
<p data-start="1281" data-end="1803">Among the central figures was <strong data-start="1835" data-end="1876"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Knut Woltjen</span></span></strong>, professor and partner at <strong data-start="1903" data-end="1944"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">CiRA</span></span></strong> (Center for iPS Cell Research and Application). Working alongside Dior researchers, Woltjen&rsquo;s team revealed a striking biological truth: between the ages of 25 and 90, skin&rsquo;s &ldquo;mother cells&rdquo; lose 40% of their respiratory capacity &mdash; directly impairing cellular energy and resulting in a 68% drop in collagen I production.</p>

<h3 data-start="2433" data-end="2485">Inside OX-C Treatment&trade;: Oxygen, Energy, Collagen</h3>
<p data-start="2487" data-end="2866">The cornerstone of the new Capture line is <strong data-start="2530" data-end="2549">OX-C Treatment&trade;</strong>, Dior&rsquo;s proprietary technology designed to reactivate oxygen transport within skin cells. By restoring cellular respiration, OX-C Treatment&trade; triples type I collagen production &mdash; effectively rebooting the skin&rsquo;s foundational support system rather than simply smoothing its surface.<span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="relative inline-flex items-center"><button class="ms-1 flex h-[25px] text-[10px] leading-[13px] rounded-xl corner-superellipse/1.1 items-center justify-center gap-1 px-2 relative text-token-text-secondary! hover:text-token-text-primary! hover:bg-token-bg-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-bg-secondary bg-[#f4f4f4] "><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" class="h-[16px] w-[16px] object-contain text-token-text-primary! flex-none icon-sm"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-c9exbsc1.svg#554074" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></button></span></span></p>
<p data-start="2868" data-end="3191">From this technology emerges a full 24-hour pro-collagen protocol. By day, Capture Day Creme (now offered in Soft and Rich textures) stimulates collagen synthesis and boosts firmness. By night, the newly reformulated Capture Night Creme addresses a long-overlooked phenomenon: collagen breakdown accelerates while we sleep.</p>

<p data-start="3193" data-end="3610">Dior&rsquo;s Reverse Aging Board identified that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)&mdash;enzymes that degrade collagen&mdash;are 66% more active at night, causing the skin to lose up to 28% of collagen I during sleep. The response? <strong data-start="3444" data-end="3460">Prolatonine&trade;</strong>, a biotech-derived floral extract paired with a postbiotic ferment, clinically shown to inhibit MMP activity and protect collagen reserves overnight.</p>
<p data-start="3612" data-end="3847">The result is skincare that works in biological rhythm rather than against it, tripling collagen by day, defending it by night, and delivering visible firmness gains of up to 70% when used as a duo.<span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="relative inline-flex items-center"><button class="ms-1 flex h-[25px] text-[10px] leading-[13px] rounded-xl corner-superellipse/1.1 items-center justify-center gap-1 px-2 relative text-token-text-secondary! hover:text-token-text-primary! hover:bg-token-bg-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-bg-secondary bg-[#f4f4f4] "><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" class="h-[16px] w-[16px] object-contain text-token-text-primary! flex-none icon-sm"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-c9exbsc1.svg#554074" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></button></span></span></p>
<h3 data-start="3849" data-end="3890">Texture as Strategy, Not Afterthought</h3>

<p data-start="3892" data-end="4288">True to Dior&rsquo;s sensorial codes, science never comes at the expense of pleasure. The Soft Creme offers freshness and lightness without sacrificing hydration, while the Rich Creme leans into barrier repair with oleo-ceramides, squalane, and Ceramides NP &mdash; boosting skin structure markers like involucrin and desmoglein for visibly plumper, more resilient skin.<span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="relative inline-flex items-center"><button class="ms-1 flex h-[25px] text-[10px] leading-[13px] rounded-xl corner-superellipse/1.1 items-center justify-center gap-1 px-2 relative text-token-text-secondary! hover:text-token-text-primary! hover:bg-token-bg-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-bg-secondary bg-[#f4f4f4] "><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" class="h-[16px] w-[16px] object-contain text-token-text-primary! flex-none icon-sm"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-c9exbsc1.svg#554074" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></button></span></span></p>
<p data-start="4290" data-end="4418">The Night Creme, meanwhile, arrives as a balm-like veil with 93% natural-origin ingredients, instantly absorbed, quietly industrious.</p>
<h3 data-start="4420" data-end="4469">Charlize Theron: The Face of Modern Longevity</h3>

<p data-start="4471" data-end="4750">No one embodies this philosophy of empowered aging quite like <strong data-start="4533" data-end="4576"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Charlize Theron</span></span></strong>. For Dior Capture&rsquo;s new campaign, Theron is photographed by <strong data-start="4637" data-end="4680"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Brigitte Lacombe</span></span></strong> in portraits that feel intimate, unretouched, and quietly commanding.</p>
<p data-start="4752" data-end="5074">Theron&rsquo;s presence is not symbolic but strategic. She represents a vision of femininity that is neither apologetic nor nostalgic. Strong, multifaceted, and visibly in command of her narrative, she reframes aging not as decline but as accumulation: of strength, clarity, and choice.<span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="relative inline-flex items-center"><button class="ms-1 flex h-[25px] text-[10px] leading-[13px] rounded-xl corner-superellipse/1.1 items-center justify-center gap-1 px-2 relative text-token-text-secondary! hover:text-token-text-primary! hover:bg-token-bg-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary dark:hover:bg-token-bg-secondary bg-[#f4f4f4] "><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" class="h-[16px] w-[16px] object-contain text-token-text-primary! flex-none icon-sm"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-c9exbsc1.svg#554074" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></button></span></span></p>
<h3 data-start="5076" data-end="5118">The Future of Aging, According to Dior</h3>
<p data-start="5120" data-end="5446">With Capture 2026, Dior doesn&rsquo;t promise eternal youth. It promises something more compelling: time, optimized. Backed by regenerative medicine, validated by global scientific authorities, and expressed through luxury textures and powerful imagery, Dior Capture positions aging not as something to fear. And in 2026, that feels like the ultimate luxury.</p>
