No. This cream is formulated to be non-comedogenic and acne-safe. The emollient base uses lightweight oils like caprylic/capric triglyceride and coco-caprylate/caprate that moisturize without congesting pores. It was specifically designed for acne-prone skin that also needs rich hydration.

Palmitoyl tripeptide-38 is a signaling peptide that encourages the skin to produce key components of its own support structure, including collagen. Over time, this helps smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Because it works through a gentle signaling mechanism rather than exfoliation or irritation, it pairs well with active acne treatments.

Yes. This cream works well layered over benzoyl peroxide and other acne treatments. Simply apply your acne treatment first, wait about one minute, and then apply the cream. Its hydrating, barrier-supportive formula can help offset the dryness that acne treatments often cause.

The pink color comes naturally from the cranberry fruit extract in the formula, not from synthetic dyes. Cranberry extract is included for its antioxidant and barrier-reinforcing benefits, and the color is a natural byproduct of this botanical ingredient.

Yes. This is one of Face Reality's richest moisturizers. It combines glycerin, aloe vera, and emollient oils in a cream-weight texture that provides lasting comfort for dry and dehydrated skin. If your skin feels tight after cleansing or acne treatments, this cream is designed to restore that moisture.

Absolutely. The formula includes calming botanicals like neem leaf extract, eclipta prostrata, and lilac leaf cell culture extract that help soothe irritation and support recovery. Copper lysinate/prolinate further supports the skin's natural repair process, making this cream well suited for compromised or post-procedure skin.

Use it as your moisturizer step, after cleansing, toning, and applying any serums or acne treatments. In the morning, follow it with SPF. It is designed to complement the full Face Reality acne-clearing system without interfering with active ingredients.
