Allies of Skin Multi Nutrient & Dioic Renewing Face Cream | Balance and Hydrate Acne Prone Skin with Kombucha & Probiotics | Calm Redness, Breakouts and Even Skin Tone | 1.7 fl oz

Multi Nutrient & Dioic Renewing CreamI have to admit that this cream is a bit drying because of the zinc but it is amazing for reducing the pores on my nose so I use it just in that area. If you have oily skin or tend to break out that ingredient will put a stop to it. There are a lot of wonderful ingredients in this cream to help combination skin as well but if you have super dry skin like I do, you may find that using this as a spot treatment works best. This is a pretty lightweight cream but it does contain a good deal of moisturizing properties.#alcohol-free #fragrance & essential oil-freeKey IngredientsAnti-acne: Niacinamide, Zinc PcaAntioxidant: Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Leaf Extract, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Superoxide Dismutase, Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Meristem Cell Culture, Rosmarinyl Glucoside, Caffeyl Glucoside, Gallyl Glucoside, Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, TetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethaneCell-communicating ingredient: Niacinamide, Glutamylamidoethyl ImidazoleSkin brightening: Niacinamide, Octadecenedioic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, TetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethaneSkin-identical ingredient: Glycerin, Squalane, Phospholipids, Sodium Hyaluronate (L), Ceramide NP, Hyaluronic AcidSoothing: Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Honey (Mel), Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Allantoin, Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, Bisabolol (L-Alpha), Rosmarinyl Glucoside, Caffeyl Glucoside, Gallyl Glucoside, Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, TetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethaneALL INGREDIENTS BY FUNCTIONAntimicrobial/antibacterial: Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Honey (Mel), Plantago Lanceolata Leaf ExtractBuffering: Sodium HydroxideChelating: Sodium GluconateEmollient: Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Oil (Organic), Squalane, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Phospholipids, Sphingolipids, Caprylyl Glycol, IsohexadecaneEmulsifying: Octadecenedioic Acid, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Polysorbate 80Moisturizer/humectant: Glycerin, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Leaf Extract, Niacinamide, Ribose (D), Honey (Mel), Zinc Pca, Sodium Hyaluronate (L), Hyaluronic Acid, Isosorbide Dicaprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Gluconate, Butylene GlycolPreservative: Lactobacillus Ferment, Ethylhexylglycerin, PhenoxyethanolSolvent: Aqua (Water), Isosorbide Dicaprylate, Isohexadecane, Butylene GlycolSurfactant/cleansing: Polysorbate 80Viscosity controlling: Acrylamide/​Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Dextran, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Butylene GlycolIngredientsAqua (Water), Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Leaf Extract, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract, Niacinamide, Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Oil (Organic), Squalane, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Octadecenedioic Acid, Ribose (D), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment, Honey (Mel), Zinc PCA, Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Allantoin, Superoxide Dismutase, Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Meristem Cell Culture, Syringa Vulgaris (Lilac) Leaf Cell Culture Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, Phospholipids, Sodium Hyaluronate (L), Marrubium Vulgare Meristem Cell Culture, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Glutamylamidoethyl Imidazole, Bisabolol (L-alpha), Ceramide NP, Hyaluronic Acid, Sphingolipids, Rosmarinyl Glucoside, Caffeyl Glucoside, Gallyl Glucoside, Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrodemethoxydiferuloylmethane, Tetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethane, Maltodextrin, Dextran, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Xanthan Gum, Isosorbide Dicaprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Isohexadecane, Sodium Gluconate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 80, Phenoxyethanol.

At a premium price, Allies of Skin “supercharged” moisturizer leaves us with a mystery AT $58 an ounce, it’s an oversight to not include the full ingredients list here. We urge the good folks at Allies of Skin to add them here. In our experience, few will want to order a skincare item without knowing what’s in it, especially at this price point. If in the mood for detective work, you’ll find the full list at the company website but only after searching, and searching and finally clicking a link to undercover it. What’s in it?Water is its most prevalent ingredient followed by the common humectant glycerin and several natural extracts. One preservative at the bottom of the ingredients list is worth knowing about: Phenoxyethanol.There have been reports of uncommon reactions to phenoxyethanol being quite rarely linked to eczema and strong allergic reactions. Phenoxyethanol use is often strongly discouraged by safe cosmetics advocates to be used around infants including those who are breast feeding. While the target market for this product is not likely to be young mothers, grandmothers love to hug their grandbabies and studies indicate this preservative should be avoided around the youngest of children. Those who wish to learn more and make the best personal decision regarding this ingredient may consider doing an online search for “phenoxyethanol safety.”Keep in mind that several beauty brands include phenoxyethanol. Reactions are uncommon.

It came damaged and had leaked a lot of the product, exp date 12/3/23, for 75$ and no info about that before making order. Also, it smells awful and has a brown tint. I’m doing the return

Having combination skin, I'm always playing a balancing act between products that go deep into the pores to clean away oil and debris, along with those that provide lots of rich hydrating moisturization. It's a fine balance but that's what works best for my skin. This cream sort of does both all at the same time.This cream comes in a small tube with a pump. Small amounts come out when pumped, but occasionally I need to squeeze at the tube to push some of the cream up towards the nozzle or it stalls out on me. Spreads easily over the face and absorbs well. At first, it feels a little creamy like any other good facial moisturizer. But after it's on the face for a while, that feeling ever so slightly changes. There are moments when I sometimes feel the tiniest bit of a tingle. Now keep in mind, this is almost barely noticeable and I usually have to think about it to be aware that this is happening, and it only lasts for a short while. There's also a slight bit if a tightening feeling as it firms up the skin. Another ever so slightly noticeable sensation. Unless you have a bad reaction to this cream, these are nothing to be concerned with as they are the cream going to work fading discoloration and diminishing the appearance of fine lines.There's no residuals left behind like oiliness or greasiness. Personally, I've found that it helps with dissolving the upper layers of dead skin cells and seems to go to work at keeping my pores smaller and somewhat cleaner. Though it does moisturize to some degree, it's not one of the heavy ones that some with much drier skin would prefer. This would be a very good cream for those with oiler and problematic skin who also want to make sure that their skin has some moisturization. It's great for my combination skin. There are days when I much prefer products meant for oilier skin, while others days I just want to drown my face in a very heavy and dewy moisturizer. This is great for those in between days or days when I want something with less oil.My only issue is the extremely high price of this product. At $99 (today's price) for 2.4 ounces, it's just not in the least bit affordable for most skincare consumers. It is quite good though for those who can afford such luxuries.
