It’s a moisturizer, a recovery cream, an occlusive (AKA a top layer locking in moisture), a makeup base, and a glow enhancer. Those of us who work at Dieux think that’s why Instant Angel has become such a cult favorite—each member has their own reasons for trusting the formula as part of their skincare ritual.
So, we interviewed some people on the team to get unique use cases on Instant Angel. Here’s what they had to say:
“I use it as a hydrating mask.” - Suriya (Head of Social and Content)
Use it as a treatment.
Instant Angel’s formula does not skimp on the actives. Ingredients like 4x lipids & ceramides, including squalane, meadowestolide, and phytosterols, replenish the skin’s moisture barrier so much so that skin is left plump and glowing immediately after use. Two powerful signal peptides firm skin and significantly reduce wrinkles. Our Barrier Repair Complex provides instant and lasting moisture. No wonder a dense, rich layer of Instant Angel, especially at night, can work to help heal a dehydrated, disrupted barrier.
“It’s how I seal in Air Angel.” - Charlotte (Chief Brand Officer)
Use it like an occlusive.
Layering up on moisturizers (AKA a “moisture sandwich”) doubles hydration benefits. Instant Angel, when applied after a lightweight hydrator like Air Angel, acts as an occlusive—creating a protective layer over the skin to ensure formulas don’t evaporate through transepidermal water loss. This is especially helpful in the winter months, for those with dry skin, or for those living in dry climates.
“It helps me blend my liquid bronzer.” - Laura (Copywriter)
Let it glide on makeup.
Quick to absorb and formulated to blend seamlessly into the skin (thanks to our Head of Product, Joyce), Instant Angel is the perfect texture under makeup, for no-makeup makeup looks or as prep for a full beat. Tested to be non-comedogenic, there’s no worry about layering up if you’re someone who likes to apply foundation.
“I literally slather it on, put sunscreen over it, and smile.” - Jennifer (Head of HR)
It’s a moisturizer, after all.
Using Instant Angel as noted on the packaging (a quarter-sized dollop after cleansing and maybe after a serum, before applying SPF) works wonders. In a clinical study*, this application of the formula resulted in 100% of participants showing a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles after just four weeks.
*Based on an independent clinical study of 40 participants, measured via Expert Grading and Instrumentation.
