Mad Hippie Face Cream
by Mad · skin_care
Editor's Take
Dual peptides and Niacinamide at active levels, a clean antioxidant network, and zero synthetic preservatives; punches far above the daily-cream category.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.2 / 10
- Modern Tech: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 10.0 / 10
- Sustainability: 9.4 / 10
The Verdict
This is a technologically sophisticated moisturizer that delivers genuine age-support signaling through Matrixyl Synthe '6 and Syntacks, backed by Niacinamide for barrier integrity and a potent antioxidant array including Resveratrol and CoQ10. The aloe-based emulsion is clean-aligned and paraben-free, though it relies on a few standard synthetic processing aids that keep it shy of full organic certification. Worth it for anyone who wants peptide-level performance in a daily cream without the usual silicone gloss or synthetic preservative load.
