Special Cream #11 Conditioning Night Cream
Made in our own factory and laboratory in Pine Brook, NJ
Description+
For Oily or Breakout-Prone Skin
If your skin is oily, you have probably been told to skip night cream, and it is the reason your congestion never fully clears. Nothing conditions your skin overnight, so the oil settles into the pore while you sleep and you spend the next day dealing with what it left behind.
Special Cream #11 works the other way round. It conditions overnight, keeping surface oil soft and moving so it stays out of the pore, and with regular use skin looks less oily than it did when you started.
A word about the morning, because this is the part that surprises people. You may wake up shinier than usual. That is the formula doing its job rather than failing at it. The oil that would have hardened inside your pores overnight is sitting on the surface instead, which is exactly where you want it, and it comes off the second you wash your face.
Bakuchiol smooths the look of texture and expression lines without the irritation a retinoid can bring, and that tolerance is the reason it can go on every single night.
Azelaic acid refines the look of pores and evens tone, squalane and linoleic acid do the conditioning, an Ayurvedic blend of neem, gotu kola and thyme keeps skin looking clear, and cocoa seed extract filters blue light. A lactobacillus ferment finishes it.
It is a cream, but a light one, and it sinks in without sitting on the surface.
Apply at night to clean skin, focusing on the oily zones. In the morning, cleanse as usual.
How to Use+
Apply nightly to clean skin, focusing on the oily areas, and massage until absorbed. In the morning you may notice more surface shine than usual. That is normal, as the cream kept the oil on your skin's surface and out of your pores. Cleanse as usual.

Our Philosophy
I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
