The Commence Qs: Larissa Mills (and Ella Potter Mills!)
"What excites me most about the future is the fact that it's unknown. Who knows just how amazing it might be!"

If you follow the gorgeous Larissa Mills on social, you’ll be familiar with her equally beautiful daughter, Ella. (Talk about good genes.) The 53-year-old Boston-based content creator and her 19-year-old mini-me answered our Commence Qs quick-fire style. One major takeaway? Commence may be formulated specifically for women over 40, but when the products are this good, it’s only fair to share with the Gen Z-ers, too.
