5 Allies of Skin products beloved by the MECCA team

“My usual hyaluronic acid serum ran out the morning Allies of Skin’s Multi Hyaluronic Antioxidant Hydration Serum landed on my desk – quite the unfortunate event for my old favourite as I can’t imagine I’ll be turning back!

“The caramel-coloured serum immediately answered all my questions about Allies’ founder Nicolas Travis’ unbelievably glassy skin. Pressed into damp skin (my favourite way to apply hyaluronic and lap up hydration; for context, I run dry), it left my face with a dewy sheen that I’d catch myself admiring in any and every reflective surface. Formulated with niacinamide and resveratrol too, the serum has further fuelled my new minimalist (okay, lazy) approach to skincare and delivers results in spades. It’s really that good – great, in fact! A bit of this, moisturiser and SPF, and you’ve got a pretty robust routine up your sleeve.”

“I’m always interested in skincare that works – and that gives you results you can see. What I love most about Allies of Skin is that it’s very clear on what you need to do for each step. And, following all the steps really works! Sometimes I get redness on my cheeks, but since I’ve been using Allies of Skin, it’s disappeared. While I love all the products, I especially enjoy the Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist. It’s a probiotic-infused spray that I consider my skincare secret weapon. I use it in the morning before my Allies of Skin serums and again in the evening post-cleansing – it adds extra moisture and helps to boost the rest of my routine. I’m a complete convert – no wonder everyone is obsessed with this brand.”

“I’ve made a lot of skincare mistakes in the past and have come to learn (the hard way) that a simple, consistent routine really does garner the best results. That’s a philosophy Allies of Skin shares! Hence why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this range. As much as I wanted to try everything – at once – I resisted the urge and subbed the Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser in as step two in my double cleansing routine. And just like that, I’ve (finally) cracked the code to glass skin! This formula somehow manages to both nurture and cleanse my skin, with zero signs of irritation. As someone with highly temperamental skin, I’ve never described my complexion as ‘bouncy’ – but the hydrated sheen this leaves behind is next level. Try it with the Molecular Barrier Recovery Cream Balm at night and thank me later.”
