What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this as a streamlined multi-tasker that combines peptides, antioxidants, and hydration in one formula, making it appealing for those wanting to cut routine steps. The standout elements are the high-dose glutathione, astaxanthin, and firming peptide blend. Reviewers consistently note the lightweight yet hydrating gel-cream texture works as both a daytime and nighttime moisturizer, though some find it heavier and prefer it evenings. The main reservation is the premium price point, though gurus justify it as a 4-in-1 replacement for multiple products.

"This is fantastic if your primary focus is streamlining. If you love the idea of aazanthin, but you don't want to have a separate serum, you don't want to be adding something to your skincare routine, get this because this is your peptide serum. It's your antioxidant serum. It's your brightening serum, your hyperpigmentation serum, and your firming serum all-in-one. It's ticking every box. It's doing a lot. It's doing an awful lot in just one serum. So great if you're looking to streamline. Now, this isn't the cheapest product, but like I say, if you see it as a five-in-one, you could get a three-step skincare routine with this product as the key element in the middle. And that actually does bring that price point down. I really like it and was one of the first products to come out with an aazanthin ingredient list, which I always give them props for."
Top Pick: firming products
All 7 takes from Mad About Skin
ULTIMATE SKIN BRIGHTENING - Better Than Vitamin C (Glow To The Gods)
"This contains everything, it's like a skincare routine in a tube. You would cleanse your skin, use this, put an SPF on and you are done. On an evening you cleanse, use this with a retinoid and done. It's a one and done. Because it's got so much going in it does come with a higher price point, and there are some much cheaper options, but this is great for people that want to streamline, want to get that dose of glutathione but don't want a million steps in their routine. This has a really good active dose. You want glutathione in a 1 to 2% concentration, which this covers in order to get the best results. You've also got some peptides in here, you've got some brightening ingredients, got great blend of hydrators so this genuinely does it all. I think that high dose of glutathione in here is what really makes it stand out. The one thing you haven't gotten here is a vitamin C, and so if you've already got a favorite vitamin C serum you can use that alongside this on a morning to just get that perfect pairing of those two ingredients together. If you don't want to, this in isolation will still deliver great results, and it's that flexibility that I think makes this such an amazing product."
Exclusive: NEW ANTI AGING INGREDIENT - 2x Stronger Than Vitamin C ( Astaxanthin )
"This is the Allies of Skin Peptides and Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment, and this literally has it all. You're getting that dose of astaxanthin which is so important, but you're also getting nine other antioxidants, so this is a powerhouse when it comes to protecting the skin. You've got peptides in here, seven which are specifically chosen to firm and lift the skin, so if you want to increase firmness and elasticity this is a wonderful option to go for. You've got some brightening ingredients in here and you've also got some ingredients that are going to help calm and soothe. This is really like your peptide serum, your calming and soothing serum, your firming and lifting serum, and your antioxidant all-in-one. Whilst this isn't the cheapest product out there, if you see it as a 4-in-one, this can be a great way of streamlining things down and does help to offset some of the cost versus buying four products individually. I love this, and when I read that this actually had astaxanthin in, I was like yes, because I've already been using this ingredient."
Move Over Botox - COPPER PEPTIDES LEVELLED UP (5 Ways To Use Copper Peptides)
"Most copper peptide serums will come with other peptides within them. They have a plumping mechanism. So if you choose a peptide serum that has copper peptides alongside other peptides like this one, I like the one by Allies of Skin. You can use them on the lips and this will help hydrate. It'll minimize inflammation and irritation and chapping particularly in those cooler winter months. And it'll also deliver a little extra plumping and volume. It'll draw in some of the moisture, plump it out, and just give you that noticeable little improvement when it comes to the lip area. You only need a tiny tiny amount. I don't like to use a lot because you don't need a lot. So use just enough to wet it. Put it on the lips and then always seal with an occlusive balm on top in order to lock everything in."

Move Over Botox - 5 BEST ANTI AGING PEPTIDE SERUMS
"When it comes to lifting, when it comes to firming, you won't get better than that. I would see it as an entire skincare routine if you do purchase it in order to kind of get maximum bang for your buck. Peptides have really helped me to transform my skin, and I think peptides could be your best friend, but going in with your eyes open knowing the limitations is the key to success. Peptides can be fantastic components within an anti-aging skincare routine, but they're never going to replace a surgical intervention."
EXCLUSIVE: 6x Stronger Than Vitamin C - FUTURE OF HYPERPIGMENTATION
"This is fantastic if your primary focus is streamlining. If you love the idea of aazanthin, but you don't want to have a separate serum, you don't want to be adding something to your skincare routine, get this because this is your peptide serum. It's your antioxidant serum. It's your brightening serum, your hyperpigmentation serum, and your firming serum all-in-one. It's ticking every box. It's doing a lot.

"I use this as a daytime moisturizer. The texture is light, but it actually gives the skin such a beautiful finish. Hydrated, healthy, and a little radiant. It's a beautiful gel-like creamy texture. This has seven firming peptides, nine protective antioxidants, and 13 different brighteners for the skin. This is on the lightweight side. So, during winter, I use this with more layering as a nighttime moisturizer."
Approved
"Allies of Skin has their Peptides and Antioxidants Firming Daily Treatment, which is nice and it is definitely an underrated ingredient, but worth looking into, especially if you cannot afford laser treatments, which is going to be the gold standard to treating these broken blood vessels that have been there for a long time."
Approved
"The Allies of Skin Peptides and Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment is 165 bucks. In addition to the sink call, it contains six other peptides. It contains the antioxidant, teenone, green tea for men, EGCG, and it's a nice fragrance-free moisturizing cream. I like to use this one actually at night. It's really nice and hydrating. It's thick. Although I do use it some mornings, but I really like using it at night."

"The main exciting ingredients in here are niacinamide, honey, tetraxsoral, lactobacillus ferment, peptides, and astaxanthin, which is a great strong antioxidant. I love this product. I use it in the daytime but I actually typically end up using it more at night, kind of weird, but I just find it super hydrating so I really enjoy it. It's got a nice creamy texture to it and really wonderful."

"Allies of Skin Peptides and Antioxidants Firming Daily Treatment, which I use as I guess supposed to do daytime moisturizer but I actually use this one at night and I really like it. I like the pump on this because I can get every last bit out. I really like this stuff. I would repurchase this. It's pricey but I would repurchase it."
Approved
"The Allies of Skin firming peptide treatment daily treatment, I ended up using this in the evening time. There is some research on peptides, especially when it comes to hydration. Peptides sit in the middle when it comes to researched, evidence-based skin care. You have to take that with a grain of salt because they also can be fairly large molecules, so do they really penetrate into the skin? Advanced formulas like ones that are micronizing peptides have a bigger chance of actually getting into the skin and doing what they're supposed to do."
Approved
"I love it. I think it's so beautiful. It has peptides, it has ceramides. It's supposed to give you visibly firmer, lifted, and smoother skin, and I swear my skin's loving whatever is happening here. I don't just use it for under makeup, I also wear it like as my night cream as well. I use this as like the first step and this is like the last step unless I'm using a face oil at night. Obsessed, love these so much."
Approved
"It really is a nice moisturizer that has a little bit of everything in it for signs of aging. A little bit goes a long way. You don't need to apply much, especially if you've applied serums beforehand. It sits great underneath your sunscreen and makeup as well. If you're looking for a new everyday moisturizer, I would say try this. This really is beautiful."

"This has nine types of antioxidants that will address signs of aging and protect your skin from everyday pollution. There's also a 3% biotech algae complex which helps to stimulate cell turnover for more radiant skin and a brighter complexion. This is one of the best well-performing moisturizers that actually work, and in my opinion, this is well worth the money. I like the texture. It's great for all skin types. It does dry down a little bit skin-like, but you still feel that moisture on the skin and it does give a glow to the skin as well. It's also fragrance-free. I generally apply two pumps all over my face as well as my neck. It spreads nice. It's not greasy. It's not tacky. Your skin will be left with this really nice moisture and a little glow. It sits great underneath sunscreen and makeup. I've never had an issue with peeling with this. And it's also very lightweight as well."

"This has been my go-to in my morning routine, especially because this contains nine types of antioxidants. And antioxidants help to protect and shield our skin from everyday pollution. So, I really love using antioxidants in my morning routine because of that reason. Especially during the summer, I'm outside a lot more and we just need that extra protection. But I do use this a lot at night time as well. It can be used every day, twice a day. There's also nine types of peptides in here. 13 different types of skin brighteners to brighten your skin to help fade discoloration and post acne marks. There's also a 3% biotech algae complex which helps to increase cell turnover for more of that radiant, brighter looking complexion.

"The Allies of Skin Peptides and Antioxidants daily treatment is one of the best multi-purpose moisturizers I have ever tried. It not only is an amazing moisturizer, but it also replaces multiple steps in your skincare routine. It is packed with antioxidants and peptides. So, if you're someone who normally does an antioxidant step, a peptide step, and moisturizes, this takes all of those products and condenses it into one. It's a super nice midweight lotion, so you can use it in the morning and at night. It is the moisturizer that I travel with because when I travel, I don't pack up my entire multi-step skincare routine. I want to wash my face, moisturize, put my sunscreen on, be done, and so this is what I use because I still feel like my skin is getting tons of helpful ingredients on it without having multiple steps. I love this product so much."

⭐️ How to Repair Damaged Skin | Skin Obsessed Mary
"This is the Superman of all moisturizers in my arsenal. I have gone through so many of these it is ridiculous. It is a true love. It does everything: it hydrates, protects, firms, brightens. It does so much more than you would expect one little product to do. The ingredient list is just so incredibly impressive. It has nine different antioxidants, eight brighteners, four peptides, so this is something that's doing all of that reparative work. It's also doing protective work so you don't have as much damage going down the road. It's actually a very light texture. It's a gel texture suitable for all skin types. A couple of pumps of this and it just sinks into your skin so beautifully. I love this. When I travel, this is often one of the only two things I take."
⭐️ Products I Can’t Stop Rebuying

"This is sort of one of those all-in-one products. It has seven brighteners, I think eight antioxidants, seven peptides, it is a powerhouse. I call this my Superman of moisturizers. Whenever I travel, I always take this with me and sometimes nothing else because I don't want to carry a bunch of stuff. I'll even forgo the eye products and just use this. I think this is probably the most purchased moisturizer I have ever used ever. It's not super inexpensive, a one-off purchase is about $137, but I'm on a refill program and it takes it to about $99. In my opinion, this is just something I'm never without. It's beautiful under makeup. It's kind of a light gel, it's not really really heavy, but it leaves your skin sort of dewy and hydrated. You can skip a vitamin C, you can skip all of those things, and this is why it's so good."
⭐️ Spring Beauty Empties
"Hands down I have gone through more tubes of this than any other moisturizer. For me this is Superman in a bottle. It has seven brighteners, eight antioxidants, four peptides.

I use it all the time, it's all I travel with. It's just never ever ever am I without it."
⭐️ COMPETITION | My fave Allies of Skin Products | Skin Obsessed Mary
"This is the Superman of all moisturizers because it does everything in one bottle. It hydrates, it smooths, it firms, it brightens, it strengthens it does so many good things for the skin and the ingredient deck is just so incredibly good. It has nine different antioxidants, eight brighteners, four peptides. It has tepernone complex which helps to increase the moisturization and strengthen the integrity of the skin's barrier. What's so amazing aside from all the great stuff that's packed into here is the way that it feels on my skin. It doesn't have that heavy feeling to it. It's actually quite a light texture which is great for all different skin types, but the way that it feels on my skin it makes my skin feel like it's wearing a heavy moisturizer. You get this plumpness, you get this radiance, you get this glow and I just love the way that it feels on my skin. The real benefit is that it maintains those hydration levels throughout the day. I've actually gone through so many of these tubes. It is undoubtedly the most repurchased product that I have gotten from Allies of Skin."
