Molecular Barrier Recovery Cream Balm

What it is: A fan-favorite overnight moisturiser from Allies of Skin is supercharged with 7% glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid, 1% Retinoid Complex, 7 brighteners and 5 antioxidants, clinically proven to help gently exfoliate, brighten and rejuvenate skin, while keeping it intensely hydrated.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.

What it does: The brand's Molecular Barrier Recovery Cream Balm is the first formula they've made with such a unique composition, combining the power of a balm with the melty texture of a cream that absorbs in seconds into your skin.

Compromised skin craves instant comfort, accelerated skin regeneration and uniformity. This powerful formula is made with a fusion of instantly acting and long-term reparative active ingredients that acts like an all-in-one First Aid kit for your skin. This formula also introduces a novel active ingredient: MossCellTec™ in a 2% concentration, it is the first-ever biotechnologically produced moss, which has been studied to enhance and support skin resilience.

The comforting texture sinks into skin, to provide soothing and deep hydration. With continuous use, the balm helps rebuild skin layers and repair the overall skin barrier

Key ingredients:

- 7% Glycolic, lactic and salicylic acd: this blend of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and salicylic acid gently sweeps away dead cells from the skins top layer, unclogging pores and reducing the appearance of blemishes and blackheads while hydrating and strengthening the skins barrier

- 1% Retinoid Complex: retinoid is a general term used to describe vitamin A, an ingredient that promotes skin renewal and enhances collagen production. It comes in many forms and strength percentages, including retinal, retinoic acid or retinyl palmitate. Retinoid-based products increase cellular turnover and promote collagen production, helping to even out skin tone and smooth fine lines

How to use: After cleansing and misting or toning, apply 2-5 pumps to your face, avoiding the eye area. You should use it the same way as a moisturiser, so don't forget to layer your favorite serum before this product. Leave on overnight and do not rinse off.
