FAQ

Instant Angel was deemed to be non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, meaning it has been found to not clog pores or exacerbate existing acne. These results were found in a 4-week independent clinical study on the face of 34 panelists with oily and/or acne-prone skin.

Does this mean it won't break you out? For most people, it shouldn't! But everyone’s skin is different, and no brand can guarantee that any product will work the exact same way for every person. There’s always a chance that someone may react to a specific ingredient, which is why we always recommend patch testing when introducing new products into your routine.

Instant Angel is a velvety cream that melts into the skin. Since it isn’t as greasy or ointment-like as other richer creams, very dry skin types will find this to be on the medium side of a rich cream. If you're used to lighter gel formulas, this will feel rich.

Yes! Instant Angel is light enough to be used morning and night. Those with drier skin types can even layer Instant Angel on top of a lighter moisturizer like Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream or Skin Mercy Recovery Cream to seal in hydration and boost barrier support.

Instant Angel provides firming, lipid-rich hydration, while Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream provides weightless, plumping hydration. While both deliver deep, lasting moisturization and barrier support, we recommend Instant Angel for those with dry and combination skin who prefer rich moisturizers over light gel creams.

While all of our formulas are reviewed by a toxicologist, we recommend always consulting your medical provider to make the most informed decisions for your skin.

While we don’t believe any material is “perfect,” aluminum has many benefits when it comes to minimizing environmental impact. It’s infinitely recyclable, accepted by most recycling facilities, and using non-mined metals saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce it versus mining virgin aluminum. It’s also lightweight, which makes it environmentally friendlier to ship than denser materials, and super malleable, making it easy to get every last drop of formula.

You need this moisturizer

I have oily skin with fine lines and initially I thought this may be too heavy of a cream for me but I'm so glad I tried it. Even after a couple uses, I noticed a difference. I have never experienced a moisturizer that made my skin feel like it bounced back. It isn't heavy but it has a luxurious rich feeling that soaks into the skin after a few minutes. I've been using it for years now and I'll never use another moisturizer. I've also been able to use tretinoin nightly because this cream.

Smooth & Cozy Face Lotion

This product soaks into skin and does not ball up under make-up. I can wait maybe 15 minutes after application then use face tape on my "elevens" and the tape does not peel off. I can mix with my face oil without weird separation. It is an excellent product and I am pleased to have found it!
