Instant Angel Moisturizer

Skin Restoring Moisturizer | 50mL

Dehydrated skin • Compromised barrier

What it is:

+

–

Instant Angel is your skin barrier’s protector. Deeply moisturizing, this nourishing face cream supports and repairs skin while giving an ethereal glow.

Using a blend of phytosterols, free fatty acids, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, dipalmityl hydroxyproline, meadowestolide, ceramide NG, glycerin, urea, squalane and sodium PCA, Instant Angel gives lasting hydration while reinforcing the skin’s barrier leaving it feeling strong, smooth and firm.

The result is an unfragranced, rich moisturizer that feels like silk without leaving the tell-tale residue of a richer cream.

Note: If you have acne-prone skin, this is a richer product therefore has risks. While it tested as non-comedogenic, always patch test as you may have a reaction. Air Angel, our gel moisturizer tested for acnegenic claims may be a better option!
What it's good for:

+

–
- Dehydrated skin
- Compromised barrier
How to use:

+

–

Gently massage a quarter sized dollop of Instant Angel onto your face and neck. This cream should be used after cleansing and application of serums and toners. If tolerated, skin can be slightly damp prior to application. If used during the day, always follow with SPF.

Please watch our Instagram Video for instructions on how to handle your aluminum tube to prevent tearing and use the squeeze key to its full advantage.

Instant Angel Moisturizer

In a clinical trial...

In a clinical study of 50 people (tested on white, Black, Asian, Indigenous and Hispanic skin), an independent lab measured the impact of Instant Angel to understand moisturization and wrinkle depth reduction claims.

Conducted in the winter in Winnipeg Canada, Instant Angel was found to be hydrating and moisturizing along with helping reduce the overall appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over the course of 56 days. In a consumer perception study, 97% of people found that Instant Angel hydrated the skin, 88% of people felt that skin felt moisturized throughout the day in the winter, and that 85% of people felt that even in the morning skin was still moisturized.

Our head of product and master of cosmetic chemist Joyce de Lemos created the protocol to be executed by the third party lab. Samples used created by Dieux’s lab and blinded.

Timeline Steps

Instantly

When we say “Instant Angel” we mean you’ll instantly get a hit of hydration and moisturization. In extremely dry or low humid climates, a little bit of an occlusive on top (think petrolatum or ointments) will help lock in moisture even further.
4-8 weeks

Skin feels more plump, soothed and balanced.
Reminder

Remember to wear SPF and that with changing seasons your needs may change as well!

Also remember to take pictures prior to use, when results are gradual and consistent it can be hard to see the visible results from your rituals ✨✨

FAQ

- How long does it last?
  
  +
  
  –
  
  Instant Angel, used morning and night, should last approximately 6-8 weeks. If you have oilier skin, you will use less product so this could be up to 12 weeks. If you use only at night as a night cream, this will last 12-16 weeks +
- Why an aluminum tube?
  
  +
  
  –
  
  While we don’t believe any material is “perfect,” when we looked at the state of recycling in the United States where we sell Instant Angel it became clear that it’s one of the better options.
- Is it non-comedogenic?
  
  +
  
  –
  
  While Instant Angel has passed comedogency testing, we reccomend those with acne prone and sensitve skin patch test to be on the safe side.
- Is it pregnancy safe?
  
  +
  
  –
  
  Yes, Instant Angel is pregnancy safe.
- Is it a rich cream?
  
  +
  
  –
  
  Instant Angel is a velvety cream that melts into the skin. While drier skin types will find this on the medium side of a rich cream as it isn’t as greasier or ointment-like as some other richer creams, if you’re used to light gels this will feel rich!

Love her �

I swear by this moisturizer, will never buy another. I have REALLY dry skin, and the most I have to do is sometimes reapply a bit in the morning, but it keeps my skin hydrated all day.
