My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Overnight Treatment of the brand Allies of Skin is primarily intended for skin showing signs of aging (wrinkles, loss of radiance), pigmentation spots, or uneven texture. Its advanced formula also targets blemishes and enlarged pores, making it suitable for combination to oily skin, or skin prone to adult acne. My opinion: the synergy of exfoliating active ingredients, a new-generation retinoid, and soothing agents positions this product as an intensive nighttime treatment that both renews and respects the skin barrier.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three star ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate This new-generation retinoid offers the benefits of retinol (stimulation of cell renewal, reduction of wrinkles and dark spots) with improved skin tolerance. It acts directly on retinoid receptors, promoting collagen synthesis and an even complexion.
• Exfoliating acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic) : The combination of AHA and BHA provides effective chemical exfoliation. AHAs smooth the skin's surface and boost radiance, while BHA penetrates the pores to reduce blemishes.
• Niacinamide This vitamin B3 strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum production, and reduces pigmentation spots, while soothing potential irritation caused by acids and retinoids.

The presence of moisturizing and soothing agents (panthenol, honey, hyaluronic acid, bisabolol) completes the formula to limit discomfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this treatment in the evening, on clean, dry skin, 2 to 3 times a week to start with. It is best to avoid combining it with other exfoliating products or retinoids on the same evening. Compatible with moisturizing or soothing treatments (hyaluronic acid, ceramides), but avoid using it at the same time as pure vitamin C or other strong acids.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This treatment stands out for its intelligent combination of powerful and gentle active ingredients, offering visible resurfacing and anti-aging effects. Its rich texture is suitable for most skin types, but the presence of alcohol may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for those looking for a renewing night treatment, provided it is introduced gradually.
