Is Skin Mercy Recovery Cream safe for acne-prone skin?

Skin Mercy is non-comedogenic, meaning it has been found to not clog pores or exacerbate existing acne. In fact, in a full 4-week clinical study with 30 panelists to assess whether the product was non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, Skin Mercy was found to have a statistically significant improvement in the number of closed comedones (whiteheads), non-inflammatory lesions (whiteheads and blackheads), and total lesion count from baseline to final visit. 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 Skin Mercy Recovery Cream gluten-free?

Skin Mercy is certified gluten-free. While colloidal oatmeal is naturally gluten-free, formulas made with oatmeal derivatives can be subject to cross-contamination with grains that do contain gluten. To maintain a certified gluten-free formula, we've implemented a testing process for every production of Skin Mercy.

Is Skin Mercy Recovery Cream an FSA/HSA-eligible product?

Yes! If you have an FSA or HSA account, purchases of Skin Mercy may be reimbursed.

What documentation is needed for FSA/HSA reimbursement?

To qualify for reimbursement, your FSA or HSA provider will typically require documentation, such as receipts, expense statements, and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) from your health plan. Talk with your provider to confirm exactly what you'll need to provide for reimbursement.

Is Skin Mercy Recovery Cream 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 Skin Mercy Recovery Cream 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.
