What Is an Anti Ageing Drip? Ingredients, Evidence and Results

Visible skin ageing comes from a mix of time, genetics and daily exposure to sunlight and pollution. An anti ageing drip cannot stop that process, but it can supply nutrients your skin uses to defend itself. This guide explains oxidative stress in simple terms, what the evidence shows, and how this drip compares with our Glow Drip.

Key takeaways

• The ivital Anti Ageing infusion contains glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E and peptides.
• Oxidative stress, driven largely by UV light, is a major cause of visible skin ageing.
• Vitamin C is essential for collagen, and vitamin E protects cell membranes from oxidation.
• No large trials have tested IV anti-ageing infusions on wrinkles, so expectations should be modest.
• Daily sunscreen and shade remain essential for protecting skin from sun damage.
• One session costs ₹7,000, and a clinician sets the exact dose after a free consultation.

What is in an Anti Ageing drip?

The drip combines four ingredients. Each has a known role in the body, but the strength of evidence for skin benefits differs between them.

Glutathione and vitamin C

These two work as a team. Vitamin C is used up when it neutralises free radicals, and glutathione helps return it to its active form. Vitamin C is also essential for making collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm. A review on vitamin C and skin health describes both roles, while noting gaps in the clinical evidence. You can read more in our guide to glutathione for skin and hair.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is fat-soluble, so it sits in cell membranes and protects them from oxidation. A review of vitamin E in dermatology describes it as a free-radical scavenger that protects skin from sun damage in experimental studies. The same review notes a shortage of controlled clinical studies to guide its use.

Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids. In skincare, certain peptides are studied for their role in signalling collagen production. Most of that research uses creams and serums, so the clinician will explain which peptides are used and what they can and cannot do.

What is oxidative stress, and how does it age skin?

Your cells constantly produce unstable molecules called free radicals. In small amounts they are normal. Oxidative stress happens when free radicals outnumber the antioxidants available to neutralise them.

In skin, the biggest outside driver is ultraviolet (UV) light. A review on oxidative stress in ageing human skin explains that sun-related ageing is driven largely by oxidative stress from UV exposure. Over time this damages proteins, fats and DNA in skin cells. The visible result includes fine lines, loss of firmness and uneven pigment.

Skin ageing has two parts. Intrinsic ageing is the natural, genetic slowing of skin renewal. Extrinsic ageing comes from outside factors such as sun, smoking and pollution. You can influence extrinsic ageing far more than intrinsic ageing.

What does the evidence show about an anti ageing drip?

What it does show

Each ingredient has a clear biological role in protecting cells from oxidation. Vitamin C is required for collagen production, and low levels affect skin health. IV delivery also gives near-complete (close to 100%) bioavailability, while oral vitamin C absorption falls at higher doses.

What it doesn’t show

No large, well-designed trials have tested this kind of infusion on wrinkles, firmness or skin age. Most skin research on these ingredients uses creams, tablets or lab models. So we cannot promise that an infusion will reduce lines. It is more accurate to see it as nutritional support for skin, with results that vary between people.

Glow Drip vs Anti Ageing: how do they compare?

If dullness or uneven tone is your main concern, read our guide to the Glow Drip. If fine lines and firmness matter more, Anti Ageing is the usual starting point. Your clinician can help you decide at the consultation.

How should you pair an anti ageing drip with daily habits?

No drip can outpace daily sun damage. These habits do most of the work, and they support any treatment you choose.

• Sunscreen: the NHS advises a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and at least 4-star UVA protection, applied generously and reapplied often.
• Shade and cover: stay in the shade when the sun is strongest, and wear a hat and sunglasses outdoors.
• Sleep: keep regular sleep and wake times, as sleep is when much of the body’s repair work happens.
• Diet: eat fruit and vegetables for vitamin C, nuts and seeds for vitamin E, and enough protein for the amino acids your body uses to make glutathione.
• No smoking: smoking adds to oxidative stress and speeds up extrinsic skin ageing.

Who should avoid it or check first?

Share your full health history at the consultation. Take extra care, or wait, if any of these apply.

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding: safety data are limited, so it is best to wait.
• Kidney disease or kidney stones: high-dose vitamin C is cleared by the kidneys.
• Heart disease or fluid restrictions: any infusion needs a doctor’s review.
• G6PD deficiency: high-dose IV vitamin C can harm red blood cells in this condition.
• Blood thinners: vitamin E may add to bleeding risk, so mention medicines such as warfarin.
• Allergies or ongoing treatment: tell the clinician about past reactions and any treatment such as chemotherapy.
