Yes, that is the concept. Hide that you're 40.

I don't think that's the concept.
It's not that you're hiding your age, but it's "it" (the big four-oh) is creeping up on you.
Thus, you'd better do something about it before it's too late. It's meant to be a cautionary message.
That's the idea..

but why must you hide the fact that you're 40?

Because those women who are overly self-conscious about the wrinkles and age lines in their skin (ie the target of this campaign) feel the need to look younger in order to feel younger. I know some grandmas who're still in their 30's. These ads are aimed at them.

no, no, it's not that you're hiding that you're 40 -- the idea, for a youth-obsessed culture, is that "40" is hiding and will sneak up on you.

You know -- "40 is sneaking up on you, Vivienne!"

The message basically is "better use Olay, forty is coming".
