What the gurus are saying

Consistent nightly use delivers visible glow by morning, with gurus praising it as a complete brightening routine in a single product that they've relied on for years. One reviewer flagged the price point at around one hundred dollars. The key is using it night after night for several nights to see the full effect, then waking to noticeably brighter, glowing skin.

"It's another one of those great products you only need to use twice a week. So, if you don't want to commit to something every single night, you can absolutely use this. I probably tried it for the first time three years ago and I've used it ever since and it's just a quick fix and I love a quick fix. If you think of the price of this product and then what you would pay for like an Inspar facial, this is a lot more affordable and a lot cheaper than that. And I think you get the same or better results. It's a once or twice weekly facial that you can do at home. And trust me, you apply this, rinse it off, put a moisturizer on, go to bed, and you will wake up thinking, yes, today is going to be a good skin day. And I absolutely love it."

"This is the multi-acids and retinoid brightening sleeping facial. If you're following the instructions, Allies of Skin say that you should use this every night for three nights then take a break, and that's how I choose to use it. I was a little skeptical at first because I thought, really, will this actually give me a three-night facial? Absolutely it does. The key is to use it consistently, use it back to back night after night for those three nights, and then you wake up on the fourth morning and your glow game is on point. My skin feels smoother and it has a real quick and immediate impact on hyperpigmentation, just kind of slotting off the top layers of those dead skin cells that are preventing the radiant skin beneath from shining through. It's also got a retinoid complex in here, primarily granactive retinoid, which is my favorite form of retinoid. On the days that you use it, it can replace your retinoid too. It's got seven different brightening ingredients and it's also got antioxidants. You can cleanse the skin, put some of this on, top it off with a moisturizer if you want, go to sleep, and you've got a really good skincare routine."

"You can do it for 3 days, you can cheat and just use it as a one-off for an instant glow up. It works that well. But I think to get the true benefit you need to use it 3 days on, then take a break. So you can do what I do and use it the first three days of every month and then take the rest of the month off, or you can use it a little bit more regularly, maybe do 3 days on, 2 weeks off, 3 days on, 2 weeks off. It's up to you. But this is one of the best brightening glow-up serums you will ever, ever, ever, ever, ever find. I love it."
RETINOL BAN (Update) - What You Need To Know
"This is the Allies of Skin Multi-Acids and Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial. This I love. Put this on before you go to bed and you wake up with the best skin day ever. This is like a skincare routine in one. You could literally just cleanse the skin, put this on, a moisturizer on top, and you can go to bed and just know that you're going to have gorgeous skin in the morning. It's got some gentle acids in here to gently resurface the skin, smooth everything out. It's got granactive retinoid in a good concentration, got antioxidants in here, humectants, hydrators, brightness, everything's going on. Whilst this is normally a little bit out of my personal price range when it comes to skincare at the moment, it's buy one get one free, so that's why I've stocked up. I've got a couple on order alongside this one because my skin absolutely loves it."
