Ageless Glow: The Simple Oil-Based Serum Routine That Changed My Skin
By Tunisia Ali – I AM MELANIN MAGIC
So many of you ask how I keep my skin smooth and radiant at 53—and why I look better now than I did in my 40s (no lie!). The truth is simple and consistent:
I use my I AM MELANIN MAGIC Ageless Beauty Serum (many of you know it as the Anti-Aging Serum).
I drink lots of water—on a good day three quarts or more.
I keep my routine quick and easy so I actually do it.
This little bottle has been my daily go-to for about four years, and I truly feel like I’m aging backwards.
Why I Created It (And Why It’s Oil-Based)
The formula grew out of my anti-acne serum. I had adult acne in my late 30s/early 40s and was horrified. I needed something gentle that could lightly exfoliate, balance, draw in moisture, and give that dewy, luminous look—without breaking me out. I have always had finicky skin in that oils were not something I could arbitrarily put on my skin. I had to be particular about choosing the right oils, even though I knew my skin needed oil and was very dry.
I’ve always had combination skin (dry around the center and edges, a bit oily in the T-zone depending on the time of the month and external conditions) and I’m sensitive to a lot of oils. Some hair oils that are considered excellent for skin would still break me out instantly. Even those that I thought were tolerable would end up producing zits after 2 to 3 weeks of consistent use. This blend was designed to be gentle on my skin, work with my skin’s natural essence, feel soft (not heavy), and help my dull layer fade so radiance shows through.
Exactly How I Use It (Fast)
Cleanse.
1–4 small drops: one on each cheek, one on forehead, one on chin if needed. You can also add this to your facial moisturizer or lotion.
Work it in and give it ~15 minutes before makeup—especially under-eye concealer.
If my forehead lines are visible and need softening, I’ll add a little at night to this area.
Tip: It’s also great for melting off makeup before you wash.
What You Can Expect
Early on, you’ll notice that dull layer softening.
Skin looks more dewy, more radiant, and feels better—not dry, not greasy.
Plays well with most routines—use it alone or with what you already love.
Everyone’s skin is different, but my results have been consistent for years, and many of you using the Anti-Acne Serum and Fade Magic have shared the same kind of glow-ups.
Keep It Real (and Simple)
I’m busy. I don’t fuss. But I do show up for my skin daily in ways that I never used to. If you want a routine you’ll actually keep, this is it: cleanse, a few drops, water, done.

It can feel counterintuitive, but this blend was developed from my anti-acne formula to be gentle on my combination skin. It lightly exfoliates, helps balance, draws in moisture, and gives a dewy look—without the heavy feel that can trigger me. As well, the oils chosen are non-comedogenic. Jojoba, one of the primary oils, is the closest oil to our natural skin’s sebum.
