It’s a little early to start throwing around the term #holygrail but WOW! From the moment I first heard about @alliesofskin I was impressed with their formulas but I’ll also admit that I REALLY didn’t want to love them. They’re on the pricier side and having been burned many times by brands that are all hype, I was hesitant to even try them. But the ingredient nerd in me was relentless and thankfully, their pr team kindly gifted me these 2 to start (which took the sting out of that first gamble of a purchase). Let me tell you...my skin responded instantly. I know not to rush in too quickly with anything this active so I just started with their Peptides & Antioxidants Firming Daily Treatment for the first week as my AM moisturizer. This beauty is supercharged with multiple Peptides, 7 Brighteners, 9 Antioxidants, and a 16.5% Repair Complex to firm and repair damaged skin and reduce all signs of premature aging. I first noticed that my skin was visibly brighter then over the next couple of weeks it had a plumper and more youthful appearance. My husband even asked if I had gotten botox because my typically furrowed brow and forehead looks so smooth! Next I began incorporating the 1A™ Retinal & Peptides Overnight Mask as a 1x a week treatment. I’ve used this 2 weeks in a row now and I’m shook. I’ve yet to find a retinoid serum that I can use longterm so I found the concept of this Overnight Mask to be very intriguing. This multitasker combines a time-released Retinaldehyde, 13.5% Peptide Complex, 9 Antioxidants, and 5 Brighteners to hydrate and brighten stressed-out skin while also repairing signs of premature aging. As a once a week treatment my reactive skin has not had any irritation with this and I’ve experienced every benefit described above. My dull, dehydrated skin looks and feels incredible and my 41 year old self can FINALLY experience the benefits of retinoids.✨😁✨ So far I can’t recommend these products enough! They’re both $109.00 for 50ml, which I realize is pricey. But in my experience they are quality, high performance treatments that do exactly what they say (priceless). #alliesofskin #peptide #antioxidants #retinaldehyde (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoWzNVhCqm/?igshid=1swttpat3z7kq
