As with my other moisturisers from Facetheory, the top of the jar is screw-top and easy to get off. There’s no cardboard/foil seal that you usually find on moisturising creams, which strongly suggests that there are no artificial preservatives (another brownie point from me).

Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture, promoting hydration and plumpness in the skin. When it comes to cosmetic oils and hype, argan oil is for sure leading the way. Dubbed as the " liquid gold of Morocco", we have to admit we have some trouble determining why this oil enjoys such a special miracle status. Not that it's not good, it is good, even greatbut reading the research about argan and a bunch of other plant oils we just do not see the big, unique differentiating factor (though that might be our fault not reading enough, obvs.) Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of pores, and regulate sebum production. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Not going to lie, after reading all that I was very excited to try it and maybe even a little bit scared!Do not use if under the age of 18 or if breastfeeding, pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Seek advice from your doctor. So, argan oil comes from the kernel of the argan fruit that comes from the argan tree that grows only in Morocco. The tree is slow growingand getting the oil is a hard job. The traditional process is that the ripe argan fruits fallfrom the tree, then goats eat them up and poop out the seeds. The seedsare collected and smashed with a stone to get the kernels inside. This part is the hard one as the seeds have extremely hard shells. Once the kernels are obtained, the oil is pressed out from them (the kernels contain about 50% oil).

An easily absorbed cream formulated with retinol ester to protect against environmental damage and encourage skin-cell renewal. As for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin , although , according to a 2000research paper by Dr. Pinnell, it's slightlyless white than TiO2. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often. Something else which is slightly unusual is that they give you the option to buy a mandarin scented version and a fragrance free one. Of course I opted for the fragrance free. Which in reality doesn’t mean free of any fragrance – just not an artificial one! The smell of the unscented moisturiser is actually lovely. A herbal smell but nothing too overbearing. Hello lovelies! I'm looking for people who have used Facetheory products and their thoughts on them, or those who have researched them and have opinions.

Transparent product labeling: Facetheory emphasizes transparency in product labeling. They provide detailed ingredient lists and explain the purpose and benefits of each ingredient. Another thing SAP might be able to do is to help with acne. A 2005 study showed in vitro (in test tubes) that 1% SAP has a strong antimicrobial activity on evil acne causing P. acnes and it also showed in vivo (on real people) that 5% SAP can strongly improvethe inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris. In fact, the results were comparable or even slightly better than with 5% benzoyl peroxide. Stabilised retinol ester targets fine lines and blemishes. Vitamins C and E help to combat hyperpigmentation and shield against free radicals.
