Hello, Beauty!
While we are celebrating our 17-year anniversary, we have to talk about a huge product launch that happened not too long ago.
Our most anticipated product launch, ever.
For some background context, for a very, very, very long time, we only carried facial oils as our facial moisturizers.
They are pure, extremely nourishing, and your skin naturally knows how to use them.
But our community kept asking us for a cream moisturizer because some people simply prefer the feel of a cream. Which we completely understand. If you are used to creams, switching to a facial oil can take a little getting used to, and facial oils are not going to be everyone’s favorite way to moisturize.
So we spent a long time perfecting our cream moisturizer because, like everything we formulate, if we are going to do it, we are going to spend months obsessing over every detail.
The biggest thing we kept hearing was that you wanted something lighter.
You wanted the nourishment our facial oils are known for, but in a texture that absorbed more quickly, felt lighter on the skin, and made it easy to layer with sunscreen and makeup.
So with the Restorative Facial & Neck Cream, we used murumuru butter, shea butter, and cacao butter to give it that rich, nourishing feel, then balanced them with ingredients that each bring something a little different to the formula:
Helichrysum, also known as the Immortal Flower: This is the ingredient we look to for the appearance of tone and radiance. It helps calm the look of stressed skin while supporting a more even, refreshed complexion.
Reishi Mushroom: Reishi is all about deep hydration and resilience. Its beta-glucans help draw in moisture while supporting skin that feels stronger, less depleted, and better able to hold onto hydration.
Propolis: Think of propolis as the comforting, conditioning ingredient. It helps soften rough or dry-feeling skin and leaves the complexion feeling smoother and more replenished.
Pineapple Ceramides: These are here to support the skin barrier. They help reinforce the lipid layer that keeps moisture from escaping, which is especially important when skin feels dry, tight, or easily irritated.
Lingonberry Stem Cells: This is the antioxidant support in the formula. Lingonberry stem cells help defend the skin against everyday environmental stressors that can contribute to a dull, tired, or prematurely aged appearance.
The formula also includes collagen prepeptides, CoQ10, apple-derived exosomes, daikon seed oil, pearl powder, and other carefully chosen ingredients that help support skin that looks smoother, firmer, and deeply nourished.
Which leads us into why this is also our favorite neck cream.
The skin on the neck is thinner, tends to have fewer oil glands, and is constantly moving, so it can lose moisture more easily and show changes in texture sooner.
Because this formula gives you both rich nourishment and those more targeted, serum-like ingredients, it supports more than softness alone. It helps the neck stay hydrated while also supporting the look of smoother texture, firmness, and elasticity.
So as you can see, our first cream moisturizer had a lot to live up to.
And honestly, we really nailed it.
And since we are celebrating 17 years, you can try it for 25% off.
For a limited time only, you can save 25% sitewide with code ASC17YEARS.
To sweeten the deal, all orders will get a free sample of our Smoothing Hair Serum, and if your order is $150 or more, we will also include our best-selling Anti-Aging Eye Cream ($72 value) for free. Orders over $200 ship free too, with no additional code needed.
Whether you have been curious about it for a while or are just hearing about it now, this formula means a lot to us.
It came directly from years of listening to what our community wanted, and we are really proud of where it landed.
