By the end of the day I was so shiny after using this moisturizer. Especially on my forehead and t zone. My cheeks felt okay, not as hydrated as I’d want, but not too dry either. This niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serum is all about brightening and smoothing with all-star active and antioxidant niacinamide. Cellulose: Plant-based fibers that ball up when they interact with the oil on the surface of your skin. The tiny particles form soft clumps and attract dead skin cells, acting like micro-lint rollers. This is the perfect first cleanse in a two-step double cleanse. I also like using this as my only cleanse in the AM. Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract: Cucumber extract moisturizes, soothes, and minimizes irritation.

Bliss believes that skin care is self-care and offers affordable skincare products with the newest ingredients and skincare innovations.

This vegan serum also contains licorice root extract for additional brightening and sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) for hydration and plumping. With thiscontext in mind let's see what THDA might be able to do. First, it is stable (if pH < 5), easy to formulate, and a joy to work with for a cosmetic chemist. I would recommend Bliss skincare products if you are looking for affordable skincare products made with effective actives.

There were some really big hitters in the range. It was a brand you would often find as amenities in hotels and spas across the world, and its treatments were first class. But then distribution halted in the UK, the spa closed, and I was left rather bereft. Their Fabulous Foaming Face Wash and Drench & Quench Cream-to-Water Hydrator had worked their way into my daily skincare essentials; the former for its fruity, juicy smell that invigorated on application and its gentle daily exfoliation abilities, and the latter for its lightweight-but-seriously-hydrating properties that included hyaluronic acid way before it became a “thing”. The best part is that these Bliss beauty products are affordable, so you don’t have to break the bank to treat your skin and yourself. Does absorption levels differ from skin to skin? I honestly don’t know. But if you have skin that absorbs moisturizers well, maybe this would work for you? Another promising review: "I wanted to try this product because my skin cleansers always made my face feel dry and tight. This product is a winner. The cleanser feels like water in your hand, but does a nice job of deep cleaning your skin without drying it out. I was skeptical at first, but it even takes off mascara. The price alone made it easy to want to give this product a try. It's a rare discovery when you find something for your skin that works and doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money." —Bloomerite

Purified Micro Algae: Filled with natural antioxidants that improve skin hydration and help the skin retain moisture.
