How to Use Aleph The One Reset and Restore Moisture Cream

Industry Reviews

Aleph Beauty’s The One Moisture Cream comes in a beautifully understated frosted glass jar and it feels like a natural match for my thirsty skin. It has the most neutral scent of any skincare product I’ve used. The neutral scent seems like it would suit sensitive skin types well.

Quality ingredients feel bioavailable and The One leaves my skin feeling naturally moisturised. I’m impressed by Aleph Beauty’s range of sustainability commitments. The re-Aleph program in New Zealand, allowing customers to return packaging for sanitisation and repurposing, is truly innovative amongst entrants.

Their B-Corp status and focus on indigenous ingredients also speak to the embedded environmental values of the brand.

Consider me hooked. The One lives up to its name as an all-rounder moisturiser you can confidently commit to. Thick without being too heavy, it provides noticeable hydration you can really feel and absorbs like a dream.

Packaging feels industrial yet chic and my skin looks and feels healthier and smoother- smug smile, all my own. So much to love and celebrate this brand for when it comes to operating sustainably and ethically.

From rigorous and responsible ingredient sourcing, with a focus on local New Zealand native ingredients, the Aleph Clean Promise clearly outlines the standards Aleph holds them too.

I also appreciate their innovative re-Aleph program which allows customers to return packaging for sanitisation and repurposing, as well as choosing formulations that require less product use, thus reducing packaging and shipping impacts.

This is a beautiful cream - the texture feels luscious and rich without being heavy. My skin drank it up, but it also left a nice protective film on the skin.

It is refreshing to see this brand using some less common ingredients. The packaging feels well considered too! Almost no white rub in. The sustainability strategy Aleph has put into place is also extensive and pretty impressive.

This should be an inspiration to other brands.

LIFT, FIRM, PLUMP AND SMOOTH.

The One uses multiple clinically proven actives to reset the skin in the moment and restore the complexion over time.

REPLACE YOUR DAY CREAM

Plump and Smooth; the Perfect Pre-Makeup Hydration Boost

Hyaluronic acid and NZ Native Red Seaweed act to attract and hold water to the skin producing an instant plumping and hydrating effect resulting in smoother skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

REPLACE YOUR NIGHT CREAM

Perfect for Nighttime Repair

High performing ingredients Totarol, Bakuchiol and Schisandra Chinensis work synergistically to stimulate cell turnover, regulate melanin production and enhance collagen synthesis.

CLINICALLY PROVEN BIOACTIVES

Instant & Long-Term Lifting & Firming

This may just be the alternative to fillers and injectables. We believe in a multi-pronged approach, so have carefully combined two highly effective ingredient stacks for visible instant, and long-term effects.

OceanDerMX® Lift & Firm, Lift Oleoactif™ two patented blends, each offer proven lifting effects within minutes and continue to create visible beneficial results over time.

OceanDerMX® tested in a base cream at a lesser percentage than present in The One Moisturiser and compared to a placebo on 14 participants, concluded a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and a measurable 28% increase in hydration after 15 minutes.

A study conducted on 9 participants measuring OceanDerMX® Lift & Firm at the same percentage used in The One Moisturiser showed a reduction of 14.7% in wrinkle depth and volume after 14 days vs the placebo and a 30% improvement in skin surface volume vs the placebo.

Lift Oleoactif™ tested at same percentage used in The One Moisturiser and on 10 women resulted visible wrinkle reduction of over 10% after 5 minutes and of over 15% at 28 days.

FREE FROM NASTIES

Say No to Microplastics, Silicones, and Fragrance

At worst, these common cosmetic ingredients can be damaging to the skin and the planet. At best, they can coat the skin in an inert film preventing active ingredients from reaching the skin and being effective.

Your Questions Answered

What type of skin is this best suited to?

We have hit the spot with this cream making it suitable for all skin types. The hydrating properties make it great for dehydrated and dry skin, while another ingredient targets acne bacteria making it suitable for those with breakouts.

Our synergistic stack of ingredients work together to create a well rounded system to visibly lift and firm, smooth, hydrate and plump.

Sensitivities: Each sensitivity is unique to the wearer, therefore we always suggest that you consult a skin specialist and patch test before use.

Ageing skin: We prefer not to approach things from an “anti-aging” perspective because we’re all aging and there's no getting around that!

We believe however that we can affect how we age by choosing ingredients that will help us in the right direction. We like to call this Proactive Aging. We seek out ingredients that work with mitochondrial function to improve cellular metabolism.

This concept we apply to all of our products from makeup to skincare. In this product in particular, we also added a stack of ingredients that have been clinically tested to lift and firm the skin in a matter of minutes as well as over time.

Oily Skin: For skin to function at its optimum, hydration is key.

Pigmentation: We’ve included natural ingredients known to brighten skin tone and reduce pigmentation.

Does this have an SPF?

No. In order to maximise versatility, we’ve created a layerable, weightless cream that is suitable for day and night. If it were to include an SPF, the consistency would make it far less versatile.

Can this be used both day and night?

Yes! Due to its luxe yet weightless texture, it is light enough for under makeup, yet rich enough to be used at night.

For extra moisture-locking capabilities, layer Aleph Serum/Primer OVER The One to enhance protection against TWEL (transepidermal water loss).

Satisfaction Guaranteed!

As always when I order the beautiful products from Aleph the package arrives very quickly. It's always a pleasure to receive these treats for my skin and the makeup is lovely. I adore the Smoothing Skin Tint with SPF 20. It's so easy to apply and perks up and smooths my skin tone with gentle coverage that is almost invisible to the eye, yet makes a difference unlike anything else I've ever used. Well done Emma and the Aleph team and congratulations on your recent Gold Medals for The One and the Smoothing Skin Tint. Very well-deserved.
