Anti-Aging Glow - Sampling Kit

derived. This free kit holds both versions we're testing, so you can tell us which one you'd reach for every day: The whipped cream (golden orange): light and airy. It melts in quickly and leaves a soft finish, a good fit for daytime and under makeup. The balm (deep orange): richer and denser. It warms between your fingers and gives dry skin a deeper layer of moisture, a good fit for nighttime. What you can expect Smoother-looking skin, with fewer visible fine lines A healthy, radiant glow Deep moisture that lasts all day Gentle on skin that can't handle retinol Why we chose each ingredient Bakuchiol, clinically studied. The plant-based alternative to retinol, from the seeds of the babchi plant. In a 12-week, double-blind study in the British Journal of Dermatology, it reduced the look of wrinkles and dark spots as well as retinol did. It's gentler than retinol, so it's a good fit for sensitive skin: people in the study had less stinging and peeling. Tallow, jojoba and squalane, for deep moisture. A blend that matches your skin's own oils. Your skin makes squalene, jojoba closely resembles your skin's natural oil, and tallow's fats are like the ones in your skin's outer layer. Together they sink in fast instead of sitting on top, and lock in moisture so dry skin stays soft all day. Astaxanthin and vitamin E, for antioxidants. Sun, pollution and time create free radicals that wear down your skin and make it look dull and tired. Antioxidants neutralize them and help protect your skin's healthy, youthful look. Astaxanthin is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, the same one many people take as a supplement, and it gives the cream its orange color. We paired it with vitamin E from rice bran, which lab research shows helps astaxanthin work even better. Sea buckthorn berry oil, for glow. Rich in omega-7, a rare fatty acid that helps dry skin look plump, supple and glowing. Oat oil, to calm and protect. Oats have been used for centuries to calm and comfort dry skin. Oat oil also supports your skin's natural barrier, the "glue" (called ceramides) that holds moisture in. We have less of it as we age, which is one reason skin gets drier and more sensitive. How it's different from what you use now No water. Most anti-aging creams are mostly water, and water evaporates. This one is made only of oils and fats your skin recognizes, so it soaks in and keeps working. Retinol-like results without the redness and peeling. Made by hand in small batches by our team in Bozeman, Montana. How to use it Use the whipped cream for a few days, then the balm for a few days. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press it into clean, slightly damp skin on your face and neck, morning or night. Try a little on your body too, and tell us where you liked it best.
