How to use
HOW TO USECleanse Your Skin
Start with clean, freshly washed skin. Pat dry gently with a soft towel.

Use Twice Daily
Apply morning and night after cleansing for best results. In the AM, follow with sunscreen. At night, allow the cream to work overnight for maximum repair.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESRich, nourishing texture with shea butter, squalane, and ceramides provides deep, lasting hydration that dry skin craves.
Specifically designed for aging concerns. Polypeptides, collagen, and ceramides address fine lines, loss of firmness, and barrier weakness.
Fragrance-free, retinol-free, and dermatologist-approved. Formulated with goat milk and allantoin to soothe and calm reactive skin.
Works well on drier areas. May feel slightly rich on the T-zone during daytime — use a lighter amount in oilier zones.

DUPES
Contains niacinamide and peptides for firming, similar anti-aging claims. Lacks goat milk, ceramide complex, and Renexosome technology. Heavier silicone-based formula with less clean ingredient profile.
Shares the ceramide and niacinamide approach to barrier repair. Contains peptide complex but lacks goat milk exosomes, polyglutamic acid, and the proprietary Renexosome polypeptide. More basic formula overall.
Excellent ceramide-niacinamide moisturizer for sensitive skin with prebiotic thermal water. Focuses on barrier repair rather than active anti-aging — lacks polypeptides, collagen, and firming technology.

Frequently asked questions
FAQThis cream does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone — the main ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. However, it does include Bergamot Fruit Oil, which can cause photosensitivity. While generally considered low-risk, we recommend consulting your OB-GYN or dermatologist before using any new skincare product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
No, this cream is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast, including Bifida Ferment Lysate (a ferment), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate (esters), and Stearic Acid (fatty acid). If you are prone to fungal acne, consider alternatives with simpler, FA-safe ingredient lists.
Yes, you can pair it with other actives. Since this cream is retinol-free, you can layer it over a retinol serum to buffer potential irritation. It pairs well with vitamin C serums (apply vitamin C first, then the cream). For AHA/BHA, use them at a different time of day or wait 15–20 minutes between application to avoid disrupting the cream's barrier-repair function.
This cream is ideal for dry, mature, and sensitive skin types. It excels at deep hydration and anti-aging without irritation. Combination skin types can also benefit, especially during colder months. Oily skin types may find it too rich for daytime use but can use it as a night cream. It is dermatologist-approved for sensitive and reactive skin.
You will feel instant hydration and softness from day one. In consumer perception surveys, 91% of participants saw healthier-looking skin within 4 weeks of twice-daily use, and 94% noticed more youthful-looking skin by week 8. Collagen production increases of up to 31% were measured in clinical testing with consistent use over 9+ weeks.
Apply after cleansing, toning, and any serums, but before sunscreen (in the morning) or as the last step (at night). It serves as your primary moisturizer in both AM and PM routines. For best results, Beekman 1802 recommends pairing it with their Milk RX Wrinkle Serum applied underneath.
The Milk RX Cream has a comedogenic rating of approximately 2 out of 5, which is considered low risk. Key ingredients like squalane (0), niacinamide (0), and glycerin (0) are non-comedogenic. Shea butter rates 0–2 depending on the source. While most users will not experience clogged pores, those with very acne-prone skin should patch test first.
The cream has an estimated shelf life of 12 months after opening (12M PAO). With twice-daily use of a dime-sized amount, one 1.69 oz jar typically lasts about 6–8 weeks. Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed, and use clean hands or a spatula to minimize contamination of the jar packaging.
Verdict: Beekman 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream is a premium, science-backed moisturizer that delivers on its promise of retinol-level anti-aging without irritation. The proprietary Renexosome polypeptide technology, combined with 5 ceramides, niacinamide, goat milk, and polyglutamic acid, makes this a comprehensive firming and hydrating powerhouse. It is exceptionally well-suited for dry, mature, and sensitive skin seeking visible lifting and plumping results. The main drawbacks are its premium price point and jar packaging. Not suitable for fungal acne-prone skin due to ferments and esters. Overall, an excellent choice for anyone who wants clinically proven better-aging results with a clean, cruelty-free formula.

If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
