Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream is “non-acnegenic”. Does this mean it won’t break me out?

Air Angel’s lightweight, breathable formula was specifically created with oily and breakout-prone skin in mind. To validate this, we put it through a four-week clinical study to evaluate comedogenicity (pore-clogging potential) and acnegenicity (likelihood to trigger breakouts). The independent lab found that Air Angel did not cause the formation of new comedones (breakouts) during testing, certifying it as non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.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.

How does Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream compare to Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer?

Air Angel provides weightless, plumping hydration, while Instant Angel provides firming, lipid-rich hydration. While both deliver deep, lasting hydration and barrier support, we recommend Air Angel for those with oily and breakout-prone skin who prefer light creams over rich moisturizers.

Why does Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream come in a recycled aluminum tube?

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. It’s also lightweight, which makes it environmentally friendlier to ship than denser materials, and is super malleable, making it easy to get every last drop of formula.

Harnessing the power of peptides to visibly plump, hydrate, and smooth skin.
Giving a cloud-like cocoon of breathable moisture, Air Angel is clinically shown to hydrate skin for up to 12 hours after application, without clogging pores.
Firming peptides and amino acids visibly plump and flood skin with hydration. Glycerin and our Moisture Complex work as humectants to draw in water and help skin retain it, keeping it quenched throughout the day.
This acne-friendly formula leaves a satin finish that layers beautifully under makeup or beneath a richer cream as a more hydrating step for those with drier skin.
This formula is vegan, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, and non-sensitizing.
What it's good for:

+

–
- Dehydrated skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sensitive skin
- Humid climates
- Oily, blemish-prone, and combination skin types
How to use:

+

–
1. After cleansing and applying serums and toners, gently massage a quarter-sized amount onto your face and neck. Can be applied to damp* or dry skin.
2. Follow with sunscreen for daytime use.
3. Once you've used most of your Air Angel: use the Squeeze Key (which comes free with all Air Angel orders) to get out every last drop. Slide it onto the top of the tube and roll down, dispensing product as needed.
*Damp skin can help increase the permeability and effectiveness of products.
Remember: Rituals, not miracles. Skincare only works when you use it consistently.
