Supercharge Your Skincare. Superstart Skin Renewal Booster.

Elizabeth Arden Superstart Skin Renewal Booster is the innovative, microbiome-supporting skin preparation booster that transforms the way your skincare works — a next-generation primer for the skin that is applied before your serum and moisturiser to boost the skin’s natural renewal capacity, optimise its receptivity to subsequent skincare actives, and support the microbiome’s essential role in healthy, resilient, youthful-looking skin. The Superstart Booster represents a fundamental rethinking of the toner and essence category — moving beyond the conventional function of pH rebalancing and surface preparation to deliver a clinically meaningful boost to the skin’s own biological renewal processes before the application of treatment products. The formula’s microbiome-supporting complex works with the skin’s invisible ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms that play a critical and increasingly well-understood role in skin health, barrier function, and the skin’s resilience to environmental stress and ageing. A balanced, thriving microbiome produces the biochemical signals that regulate barrier repair, inflammation control, and cellular renewal — the foundational biological processes that determine how healthy, resilient, and youthful the skin appears and performs. By supporting and optimising this microbiome environment before the application of serums and moisturisers, the Superstart Booster creates the ideal biological conditions for every subsequent skincare product to perform at its maximum potential. 30ml/1oz of Elizabeth Arden’s microbiome-boosting skin renewal preparation.

Key Benefits

• Supports and optimises the skin’s microbiome — the ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms that regulate barrier function, cellular renewal, and skin resilience — creating the ideal biological conditions for healthy, youthful-looking skin
• Boosts the skin’s natural renewal capacity before the application of serums and moisturisers — priming the skin’s own biological processes for maximum responsiveness to subsequent treatment products
• Visibly improves the skin’s texture, radiance, and overall appearance with consistent use as the microbiome-supported renewal processes deliver progressively more visible skin quality improvements
• Enhances the performance and efficacy of serums and moisturisers applied after the Booster by optimising the skin’s surface receptivity and biological readiness for active ingredients
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture layers seamlessly under any serum or moisturiser without heaviness, interference, or pilling
• Suitable for all skin types — the microbiome-supporting, renewal-boosting formula benefits any skin that seeks improved resilience, radiance, and responsiveness to skincare

Suggested Use

Apply morning and/or evening after cleansing and toning, before your serum and moisturiser. Dispense 2–3 drops of the booster into clean palms and warm gently between the hands before pressing into the skin with flat palms across the face and neck. Use a gentle pressing and patting motion rather than rubbing — the pressing technique encourages the booster’s lightweight texture to absorb evenly and fully into the skin’s surface. Allow 20–30 seconds for full absorption before applying your serum. The Superstart Booster is the ideal first treatment step after toning — applied before any other serums or treatments to prime the skin’s biological environment and maximise the penetration and efficacy of the actives that follow. For the most visible skin renewal results: use consistently morning and evening as the foundational preparation step of a complete skincare routine — the cumulative microbiome-supporting and renewal-boosting effect builds with consistent daily use for progressively more visible improvements in skin radiance, texture, and resilience.

Key Features

• Microbiome Science — The New Frontier of Skin Health: The skin’s microbiome — the complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live on the skin’s surface and within the hair follicles — is one of the most rapidly developing areas of dermatological research. Scientific understanding of the microbiome’s role in skin health has advanced dramatically in recent years, establishing clear links between microbiome diversity and balance and the skin’s barrier function, inflammatory response, and ability to renew and repair itself. A diverse, balanced microbiome produces beneficial metabolites — short-chain fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides, and other signalling molecules — that support the skin’s barrier integrity, regulate the inflammatory responses that drive redness and sensitivity, and stimulate the cellular renewal processes that maintain the skin’s youthful appearance. The Superstart Booster’s microbiome-supporting complex is formulated to create and maintain the optimal skin surface environment for a thriving, balanced microbiome — delivering skin health benefits that no single conventional active ingredient can achieve
• Skin Renewal Boosting — Priming Biology for Better Results: The conventional approach to skincare is additive — applying active ingredients to the skin in the hope that they will penetrate effectively and deliver their claimed benefits. The Superstart Booster takes a different, more foundational approach — preparing the skin’s own biology to be more receptive, more regenerative, and more responsive before the application of active ingredients, so that every serum, treatment, and moisturiser applied after the Booster performs more effectively than it would on an unprepared skin. This biological priming approach represents a meaningful advance over conventional toners and essences that prepare only the skin’s surface rather than its underlying biological renewal machinery
• The Booster Format — A New Category for Skincare Optimisation: The booster format — applied after toning and before serum in the skincare routine — is the most rapidly growing category in prestige skincare, reflecting consumer recognition that the sequence and preparation of skincare application is as important as the individual products used. The Superstart Booster is Elizabeth Arden’s definitive entry in this category — a formula that justifies its position in the routine not merely through conventional active ingredient delivery but through genuine, microbiome-science-grounded biological preparation that makes the entire routine work better
• Elizabeth Arden — Innovating Skincare Science Since 1910: Elizabeth Arden’s more than a century of skincare innovation — from the original Eight Hour Cream to the ceramide franchise to the Prevage Idebenone technology — is the heritage that informs the Superstart Booster’s development. The Booster represents Elizabeth Arden’s engagement with the most current and compelling direction in skincare science — microbiome biology — bringing the brand’s formulation expertise and clinical rigour to bear on the frontier of skin health research
