When I turned 27 I made a promise to start giving a shit — about my skin care, health, finances, and everything, really. Skin care so far has played a significant role in this new chapter, and I've been consistent with it. Morning and night I apply serums and moisturisers to my face, and I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. This also applies to brands.
Youth to the People is a skin-care brand I've always liked (even before my days of giving a shit), and other POPSUGAR editors have spoken highly of its Superfood Air Whip Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser. When I heard the brand was releasing its Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream ($64), it seemed like an obvious item to test — and I'm happy I did.
What I Like About the Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream
Every time I apply this cream I feel properly moisturised. In fact, I use it sparingly because it works so well that I don't want to run out. (A deviant tactic, I know.) It's filled with peptides, plant proteins, and ceramides that work together to strengthen the moisture barrier and deeply hydrate the skin.
As someone with combination skin who spends a lot of time in the sun, I can confidently say its claims are true. At the first sign of flakiness, I whip out this cream to bring it back to life. It has a lightweight texture that heals imperfections and transforms my face from dull to dewy in a matter of seconds. It's my "weekend face cream," if you will — the one I put under makeup that I know won't pill. It leaves behind a glowy finish that doesn't look too greasy, and its formula doesn't clog my pores or trigger breakouts. It's fragrance-free too, which is a huge bonus.
What's Worth Noting About the Youth to the People Polypeptide-121 Future Cream
The cream is vegan, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packageing. The product itself leaves my skin looking dewy and fresh, but if you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend it. Although it doesn't feel heavy, its finish adds a shine that might not be needed if your skin already has a natural glow. In my opinion, it's a reasonable splurge for its clean ingredients and incredible formula. I've used this cream every week for over a month and swear by it.
If you have a dry or a combination skin type, this face cream will give you a glow from within. While I don't use it daily (because I dread the day it runs out), it's a great option to apply morning and night. The cream is excellent for anyone who is looking to minimize wrinkles, prevent premature ageing, and maintain their skin's moisture barrier.
