Despite my propensity for breakouts, it didn’t cause any issues. And thanks to its decadent texture, a little goes a long way, making the financial investment less painful. Since my initial purchase in early 2022, I’ve noticed my skin gradually get smoother and less fussy. The real test came with the arrival of autumn; as the weather changed, I waited for my skin to dry up, flake off, and break out. Much to my surprise, it maintained its healthy, soft, and supple vibe.
The power of Dieux’s Instant Angel moisturizer lies in its thoughtfully curated and thoroughly tested ingredient list. On its website, the brand carefully explains the function of each and every ingredient and how they all work together to create a high-quality product. A gentle blend of phytosterols, free fatty acids, meadowestolide, ceramides, glycerin, squalane, and more do all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
This moisturizer’s main mission is to work as a heavy-duty barrier protector. It drenches the skin with a blend of nourishing active ingredients that support and repair skin at the same time. Within weeks of incorporating it into my routine, I was getting kind comments on my skin. It’s also a great base for sunscreen and makeup. I haven’t experienced any pilling or otherwise annoying side effects of using such a nourishing moisturizer with my makeup routine. It’s fragrance-free, which is imperative for those with sensitive skin or people who use retinol, and a silky finish that doesn’t feel heavy or leave a residue like many other rich creams.
Another thing I love about Dieux is that its products are developed with more recyclable materials than many of its competitors. Instant Angel is packaged in a recyclable aluminum tube that is more easily recycled than plastic or glass, and comes with a metal squeeze key that helps you get every last drop of product. The brand also just launched refill canisters for its popular Auracle eye gel that are made of 100% recycled and recyclable aluminum.
All of Dieux’s products stand out, including its wildly popular Deliverance serum, but Instant Angel is as good as it gets for me. It’s the perfect winter moisturizer, so treat yourself to a little bit of luxury and get glowy winter skin. Check out some reviews from Dieux’s website below and pick one up for yourself while you still can.
"Best moisturizer. My skin has never been healthier. I’ve tried many moisturizers, and none have restored my barrier like this. My skin stays moisturized all day instead of drying back out right away. I’m hooked.” —Megan S.
“Love it. I was apprehensive about buying due to the price/size but the product has really been a great mix of rich and light that doesn’t clog my pores the way other moisturizers have. I have very dry skin, so it was great to find this alternative that feels lovely while keeping my skin looking good. I also appreciate that the company helps you get as much of the product as possible out of the tube.” —Caitlin C.
“Dream come true. I’m on my second tube, and this formula is excellent. I’ve never been so obsessed over a moisturizer. I have combo-sensitive skin and use this at night…wake up with the most soothed, supple, glowy skin. This performs better than any high-end moisturizer I’ve ever tried, and it’s a lot cheaper, considering high-end is around $68. I can’t imagine someone regretting this purchase!” —Christina D.
“Saved my skin! After starting retinol, I thought my skin would always have dry patches, and I was willing to live with that. Thankfully, I found Instant Angel and realized I hadn’t been moisturizing and protecting my skin barrier correctly. My skin has improved so much, and I don’t think I can go back to other moisturizers now.” —Elizabeth P.
