FAQS

How does Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream fit into my acne routine?

This lightweight moisturizer is designed as part of  your precision acne care routine. Start with one application daily: in the evening, cleanse skin with the Daily Acne Cleanser, then apply the Acne Precision Serum. Once the Acne Precision Serum has fully absorbed into the skin, apply Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream and leave on overnight. Increase to twice daily application (morning and evening) if well-tolerated. 

Note: The Daily Acne Cleanser and Acne Precision Serum contain salicylic acid. As products with salicylic acid can increase your skin’s sun sensitivity, use an SPF during the day.

Does the Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream  contain fragrance?

The Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream contains no added fragrances. We avoid unnecessary ingredients that can irritate acne-prone skin.

Is this moisturizer safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin?

Yes, the Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream is dermatologist approved, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin and the eye area. This weightless formula is specifically designed not to clog pores or cause breakouts.

Where can I apply the Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream?

The Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream can be applied anywhere on the face or body where there’s visible post-breakout discoloration or where sensitive, breakout-prone skin needs lightweight moisture. It's also safe for the eye area, dermatologist approved, non-comedogenic, and clinically tested for safety and gentleness.

    My skin feels much more hydrated!

    This hydrating creme has left my skin feeling more hydrated than the other products I have used in the past. It's easy to apply and meter out consistently with the pump head. I will be going back for more.

    Lightweight hydration!

    I've been using the Hypothesis Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream in my daily skincare and it's been terrific for my skin! It gives my skin the hydration it needs without any heaviness or feeling greasy. I love the way it feels on my skin. It's very soothing on irritated skin and areas with breakouts. My skin also looks brighter and fresher since I started using it. This is the perfect moisturizer for acne prone skin and I highly recommend it!

    nice light moisturizer

    This moisturizer is a nice summer weight moisturizer for acne prone skin. I lean drier and live somewhere where average humidity in summer is 85% and winter is 15% so I know it probably won’t be what I reach for during those months.

    Lightweight and effective

    I am really impressed by this product. It felt more lightweight and slippery, and less creamy, than the daily moisturizer I typically use. But it was so hydrating!! It totally soothed the tight feeling I get after washing my face and was super effective at keeping my dry skin hydrated. Worked all day, didn’t clog my pores, didn’t interfere with my makeup. I also like the dispenser, I only needed a little to apply over my whole face and this dispenser gave me good control over how much I pumped out.

    Hypothesis Balancing + Brightening Gel Cream

    This is the best facial moisturizer I have ever come across. I have skin that is very reactive to heavier creams. It will reject is and just sit on top of my skin and cause me to appear shinier than usual. This gel cream is perfect. It absorbs like butter and is extremely Hydrating. What I do is use it in the day time and put my sunscreen on top of it and I never get shiny! I also believe it has evened out my tone and cleared up hyperpigmentation. It has also never clogged my pores which is plus.
