Organic Tamanu Oil: natural oil extracted from the seeds of a tropical evergreen in Southeast Asia. It is rich in antioxidants and has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. A skin-refreshing moisturiser containing 3% encapsulated retinoid cream to combat fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Personalized skincare: Facetheory offers personalized skincare products based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. They provide an online skin quiz that helps determine the right products for your specific needs, ensuring a tailored skincare routine.
Retinol targets fine lines and blemishes. Vitamins C and E help to combat hyperpigmentation and shield against free radicals. Customers were impressed with the quality of the product and how it helped with their scars, dry skin, and mild acne. Some customers loved the light nutty smell, while others thought it smelled more like puréed broccoli. The first few times I applied this, I felt a tingly sensation (that might be the retinol). The moisturiser is easily absorbed and felt natural on my skin, i.e. it didn’t feel heavy or ‘plastic-y’. Retinol targets fine lines and blemishes by expediting cell turnover. Encapsulation protects the retinol and enables it to penetrate deeper into the epidermis.In regards to the 3 magic ingredients: Retinol, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid– I didn’t notice a difference at all. After over a months use, I don’t think my skin seemed brighter or more plump/smoother. It’s definitely moisturised but I didn’t notice any added extras. Is it worth the price? The Regena-C Moisturizer is good for most skin types and is gentle enough for the eye area. The active ingredients found in this Facetheory moisturizer are: Zone 2: Bulgaria, Croatia, Luxembourg, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland Apply any serums or targeted treatments recommended for your specific skincare concerns.

Yes, Facetheory is appropriate for acne prone skin. A selection of their products use jojoba oil for face acne, and some products use argan oil for acne. Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help treat acne. Argan oil regulates the amount of sebum in your skin and is used to treat different types of acne. Is Facetheory vegan and cruelty free?
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
As we wrote in our lengthy retinol description the problem is that the conversion is not terriblyeffective. The evidence that RP is still an effective anti-aging ingredient is not very strong, in fact, it's weak. Dr. Leslie Baumann in her fantastic Cosmetic Dermatologybook writes that RP is topically ineffective. And there is even more regarding SAP and acne. A nice double-blind study from 2009 showed that 5% SAP reduced the inflammatory lesions by 20.14% and 48.82% within 4 and 8 weeks respectively and when combined with 0.2% retinol the results were even better. With this combination treatment, the improvement was 29.28% after 4 weeks and 63.10% after 8 weeks of application.
The Tamanu Oi l soothes and softens your skin and it has a mild, nutty smell. It works well on dry skin, scars, or stretch marks, and it can be used to treat eczema and rosacea. It also works well as an after-sun oil.
Facetheory Review Moisturiser M4 with Retinol
SAP (the vit C derivative, not the enterprise software, obvs) is a promising derivative that has great stability up to pH 7. The challenge with it thoughis skin penetration. Unfortunately, it seems to be limited, or to quote a great article from theJournal of Cosmetic Dermatology "topically applied ascorbyl phosphate salts are, at very best, poorly absorbed in comparison with AA". Regarding conversion to AA, there seems to be no data about it, so we can neither deny nor confirm it. Transparent product labeling: Facetheory emphasizes transparency in product labeling. They provide detailed ingredient lists and explain the purpose and benefits of each ingredient.
