| Verdict | Dieux's Deliverance is five ingredients: squalane, oil-soluble vitamin C (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate), vitamin E, hemp seed oil, and bisabolol. The NYC-based brand strips the facial oil category to its functional minimum. Oil-soluble vitamin C is more stable than water-soluble forms and penetrates the lipid barrier more effectively. Five ingredients means nothing to irritate, nothing to destabilise, nothing wasted. | The US cosmetic-derm world's post-procedure gold standard. TNS — Tissue Nutrient Solution, a growth-factor complex derived from human fibroblast conditioned media — paired with signal peptides and barrier support. Clinical data on photoaging is published and serious. $295 is genuinely expensive, but the 4–6 week post-Fraxel case is exactly what this product was built for. |
