Your Best Face Balance (day cream)

I'm 34 with oily breakout prone skin and I've been using Balance, one pump, for about a month in the morning after cleansing and toning. I've been using a BHA liquid to control my oily skin which has been helpful but I needed something more. I'm very happy to have found this cream. I wouldn't really consider it a moisturizer but an oil absorber. I love it. The oil is controlled all day and I've had less breakouts. It does give a matte look to the skin which might take a bit to get used after looking at a shiny oily face in the mirror. Plus it's affordable.

I also Balance for when its a bit hotter out and I lean more towards breakouts and oils skin. It is a nice base under spf and keeps my face matte looking.

First, I have worked hard to have good skin, before I came upon the dream of any woman who is concerned about skin care as they age when I found the TIA website.

Having tried ReLuma, I was informed that this product needs something to "fix". Since I am well over 55 and still have nothing but marionette lines to contend with, this was not the solution for me, now.

Marta suggested YBF Control, which again, did not help my skin, as it is supple, thus I ended up with an oily face that needed blotting throughout the day.

Trust that the TIA customer service team, under Marta's guidance, could find something for me, I have been using YBF Balance, mixed with very little of the anti-oxidant cream that I use with my Ultra New.

My face looked amazing in less than two weeks. I can wear so little make up, giving me more time to sleep, that I am totally loving this product. My co-workers ask me if I have had any work done (injectibles)...not yet! My skin looks porcelain, with no worries to touch up any oil or shiny spots. This lasts easily 14+ hours.

Agreed, it does create a matte finish, but, when I add the antioxidant, it become luminous and very supple, as they tell me at the high end beauty counters. I have shared this site with many people, as the products are truly amazing.

This is by far the best daily facial cream I've ever tried. I use it alone in the am and with boost at night. I am 30 and have noticed my skin getting clearer and "better" when I use it. I buy 2 at a time because the pump is finicky and you can run out suddenly. The last time that this happened to me I went back to using something cheap for a week or so and my skin instantly broke out again. Now I am always prepared! If you have combination skin and want a product free of nasty additives that will actually make your skin look great then buy this.

Balance I believe is intended for people with oily/normal skin that is prone to break-outs and want to matte the area’s which become shiny/oily during the day. I love Defend and am using Balance to compare. I’d say I like Defend a bit more but the price difference between the two make Balance an easier buy. The matte look is one of the main reasons why I use it!

apparently for 20-somethings. I’m in my 30s. I thought it was a very good eye care product. It moisturizes the under-eye area well and seemed to hold fine lines at bay, as well as under-eye shadows. I like the texture and the price point.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much positive to say about Balance, a face moisturizer. For some reason, it left my face with an odd “matte” look and was not very moisturizing. On the other hand, I have very dry skin, especially in the winter. This product might be good for someone with an oilier skin type.

A 1-oz bottle is $45 in the TIA store & has lasted me for 6 weeks already, so a little goes a long way. I decided to try it in a variety of combinations & found that I liked it best when used in addition to my moisturizer. It gave my skin more of a matte finish & seemed to make the rosacea on my cheek less noticeable. The price is quite reasonable & I’d definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with acne, or for anyone looking for a fairly light moisturizer, which would likely be the younger folks, as we “mature” folks usually need something a bit more hydrating. The fact that I liked it best when used in combination with my existing moisturizer vs. as a stand alone product, will keep me from having it as a regular part of my daily skincare regime. My husband already complains about how long it takes me to do my skincare, so adding another product without subtracting one…well, it just wouldn’t do!

As a late thirty-something, I really like this product. As I have gotten older, the pores in my t-zone have enlarged – ugh! This product really helps to minimize and shrink them. Additionally, it makes my skin feel smooth and soft. While I am testing it as winter is beginning here in Maryland (as opposed to super humid summer conditions), it does a really good job at keeping the excess oil at bay.

I have to say that it has really decreased the random hormonal breakouts that I normally experience a few times a month in my chin area. This is a product I will keep in my repertoire.
