FAQs
Our skincare products are made with naturally derived ingredients to provide the best benefits for your skin. Advanced Protection Cream is fragrance free meaning there is no fragrance or essential oils added. However, one may detect a scent from some of the naturally derived ingredients in this formula.
One’s olfactory receptors (or sense of smell) differ from person to person so it is hard to describe what you might smell in a fragrance-free formula, but it could best be described as a bit “earthy” or “medicinal”. Please note the scent does not affect the product’s quality or efficacy.
It’s a rich, luxurious cream.
Advanced Protection Cream leaves skin deeply moisturized and nourished without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.
Bidens Pilosa Extract is a Bio Retinol that activates the same receptor in your skin as retinol, providing retinol-like benefits without the associated irritation.
There is no need to start slowly or avoid specific ingredients (for example: AHAs or BHAs) like you would with other retinol products.

- EErinVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsYesterdaySo close!
If it wasn’t so good I would have tried to return it. The smell is really bad, it lingers, so when you put it on your face it’s absolutely unavoidable. I’ve used some medical creams that don’t smell great but man this takes the cake. Not sure I’m going to reorder when it runs out because of that, which is a shame, but it kind of puts a damper on your whole nighttime relaxing routine to put something on your face that smells like this. I honestly thought I got a bad batch until I read the other reviews.
- SMSusan M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayCream
I love it. I like to use it at night since it is a bit heavier than regular lotion. My skin is somewhat dry and it moisturizes it well. I have sensitive skin and have no problems using it.
- JKJamie K.Verified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars2 days agoAwesome moisturizer
I love the moisturizer however it smells like cooter. I’m not sure I can continue to use it due to that. I can see from reviews it doesn’t hit everyone this way but wow. It was super gross to me.
- GLGenelle L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoThe best face cream ever
It is the best I have ever had. But one thing. I do not like the smell. Can you add a little lavender or citrus etc? Please do not get me wrong. My face is so clear and smooth.

- JDJean D.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoDecided not to keep
Loved how moisturizing it was, but couldn’t live with the smell, which seemed to linger
- KCKristin C.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLove
I am so surprised by reviews - the scent is subtle and wonderful!! - I have tried so many high end moisturizers but I am now obsessed with this, doesn't require reapplication, feels so good. I really don't like the price but will have to do it - cause this is worth it!
