FAQ

All your questions about the Founder's Essence 56 Ellagic & P.A.D. Light Reflecting Fluid

How do I use the Founder’s Essence?

Shake well before every use. After cleansing, dispense into palms and gently press into face and neck daily. 

Where does this fit in my skincare routine?

Use it as Step 02, right after cleansing and before any other skincare products.

Should I use this in the morning, evening, or both?

It can be used twice daily, AM and PM.

What is the recommended dosage for this product?

Splash a palmful into your hand. For dry or dehydrated skin, an extra layer may be beneficial.

Can this replace my serum or moisturizer?

It depends on your skin needs. For some, it may be hydrating enough on its own. Others may layer it under serums and moisturizers for optimal results.

What makes this product different from other essences?

It combines 56 clinically-proven actives—including next-gen azelaic acid, ellagic acid, and ectoin—into one high-performance, light-reflecting fluid that supports skin health and glow.

How long will it take to see results?

In as little as 1 week, 87% of users saw smoother, more illuminated skin.* After 1 month, 97% reported brighter skin** and 94% saw skin that reflects light.**

* Results based on self-assessment with 31 participants after twice-daily use for 7 days.

**Results based on self-assessment with 31 participants after twice-daily use for 28 days.

Does it contain fragrance or essential oils?

No. It’s formulated without added fragrance or essential oils—ideal for even the most sensitive skin.

Is it cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested?

Yes. Like all Allies of Skin products, this formula is 100% cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested.

How does it help skin reflect light?

By refining texture, reducing the look of pores, and boosting hydration and barrier health, it enhances the skin’s natural radiance and gives a lit-from-within glow.

Is it pregnancy and breast-feeding safe?

We recommend consulting with your doctor or healthcare provider before using any skincare products while pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

See why Allies of Skin Founder's Essence is a game-changer.

I originally created this formula for myself, but really, it was for our Allies. I wanted something that felt light yet delivered powerful results: calming breakouts, fading dark spots, refining pores, strengthening the skin barrier, and helping skin reflect light from within.

I poured my heart into blending 56 of my favorite actives into one transformative fluid. It layers beautifully on its own or under serums, and it's loved by facialists and makeup artists for that lit-from-within finish.
