Is Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer safe for acne-prone skin?

Instant Angel was deemed to be non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, meaning it has been found to not clog pores or exacerbate existing acne. These results were found in a 4-week independent clinical study on the face of 34 panelists with oily and/or acne-prone skin. 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.

Is Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer a rich cream?

Instant Angel is a velvety cream that melts into the skin. Since it isn’t as greasy or ointment-like as other richer creams, very dry skin types will find this to be on the medium side of a rich cream. If you're used to lighter gel formulas, this will feel rich.

Can I use Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer morning and night?

Yes! Instant Angel is light enough to be used morning and night. Those with drier skin types can even layer Instant Angel on top of a lighter moisturizer like Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream or Skin Mercy Recovery Cream to seal in hydration and boost barrier support.

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

Instant Angel provides firming, lipid-rich hydration, while Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream provides weightless, plumping hydration. While both deliver deep, lasting moisturization and barrier support, we recommend Instant Angel for those with dry and combination skin who prefer rich moisturizers over light gel creams.

Is Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer safe to use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding?

While all of our formulas are reviewed by a toxicologist, we recommend always consulting your medical provider to make the most informed decisions for your skin.

Why does Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Firming Moisturizer come in an 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 versus mining virgin aluminum. It’s also lightweight, which makes it environmentally friendlier to ship than denser materials, and super malleable, making it easy to get every last drop of formula.
