How does weight loss, including on GLP-1 medications, change your skin? Women’s Health beauty editorial assistant Katie Mogg sits down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Luke Maxfield to break down how GLP-1s and weight loss affect skin firmness, hydration, and tone, plus the skincare ingredients that help skin look firmer, plumper, and more radiant.
Dr. Maxfield walks through the three concerns to watch for during weight loss: sagging, which is about the structure and support underneath the skin (bone and fat pad volume) more than the skin itself; loss of firmness, which is the skin’s own structural collagen; and dullness, meaning dark spots, uneven tone, and changes in hydration. The takeaway is to keep all three in context when you adjust your routine on a GLP-1.
His advice is that you do not need to reinvent the wheel or build a 12-step routine. Instead, lean on foundational, well-studied ingredients: hyaluronic acid for hydration, vitamin C in the morning to support tone and collagen, retinoids as a dermatologist hero ingredient, and daily sunscreen to protect it all.
He also explains why L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Moisturizer is an easy way to consolidate those actives into a single step. It pairs hyaluronic acid for hydration, a form of vitamin C to help protect and even tone, and pro-retinol to support the structural collagen that keeps skin looking healthy and bouncy, in one moisturizer that works across skin types. As Maxfield notes, a product that consolidates everything into one step is one people actually stay consistent with.
