First things first. I don’t necessarily go around looking for “clean” or vegan beauty products - I do tend to prefer products to just have good (scientifically proven) ingredients that just work. However, I have tested out many products lately that have seemed to put my sensitive skin into irritation overdrive. I do immediately stop using a product if I know it’s bad for my skin, but sometimes the skin recovery period can be long and a bit emotionally painful. Since late last year (2019), I have been slowly incorporating more gentle products - specifically those geared towards sensitive skin.

Model Off Duty Beauty piqued my interest as they’re not just a brand that has nice simple aesthetics to their products. For those of you who are very ingredients-driven (more of the good stuff and less “filler” ingredients) - you will definitely feel at home. Model Off Duty Beauty doesn’t just have gentle ingredients for the sake of being gentle per say - there’s actually a lot of interesting/useful ingredients packed into each product. Looking over each product description, you can tell that a lot of thought and care was put into the formulation, to make sure that they’re also equally effective in addition to being gentle. That alone pulled me to try at least one of their products, especially since the very last product I tried from a different brand, slowly irritated my face.

Disclosure:

I received these products from Model Off Duty Beauty in exchange for my honest review. I was not given anything in exchange for reviewing any of these products. I enjoy doing product reviews to share my own experiences with the product and hope someone finds it useful. I do not work for Model Off Duty Beauty.

Safe & Clean Beauty

Clean & vegan products tend to have fewer potential side effects...

If you struggle with skin irritation and/or redness, it is worth looking into clean & vegan beauty brands/products.

There have been an increasing number of brands claiming to have clean/vegan products, but a closer look at some of the ingredients might reveal some questionable (although “natural” as it may be) ingredients that don’t necessarily add anything to the overall formulation. They are probably more of a filler that potentially dials down any effects we’re supposed to see with the active/main ingredients. From Model Off Duty Beauty's website, “We obsessively research our ingredients and only use clean, natural, non-toxic, effective, and high-quality ingredients that are vegan & cruelty free.”

Made With:

  • Natural ingredients
  • Plant-based food-grade oils
  • GMO-free ingredients
  • Vegan Ingredients
  • Recyclable and reusable packaging
  • Many certified organic ingredients
NOTE: Regardless of what’s listed, always double check a product just to make sure it doesn’t contain any ingredients that you’re personally allergic to, etc. (since everyone is different).

Made Without:

  • Synthetic ingredients
  • Animal testing
  • Mineral oils
  • Sulphates
  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Silicones
  • Petro-chemicals
  • Synthetic fragrances
  • Synthetic dyes & thousands of other harmful or questionable ingredients

The Reviews


Routine & Usage:

Since I’ve been changing up my routine quite frequently these days, I’ve been finding it important to list what products I’m using whenever I incorporate something new.

My skincare routine for the 2+ weeks that I used the Model Off Duty products are as follows below.

Morning:
  • Oneoseven Low pH Chaga Cleanser
  • Son & Park Beauty Water
  • Tiam Red C Serum
  • Tiam Vita B3 Source Serum
  • Dr. Jart Cicapair Cream
  • Model Off Duty Eye Cream (in place of my usual eye cream)
  • Dr. Jart Cicapair Cover Drops
  • Glossier Futuredew Facial Oil

Night:
  • Oneoseven Low pH Chaga Cleanser
  • Model Off Duty Face Mask (Every couple days or so)
  • Son & Park Beauty Water
  • Dr. Jart Cicapair Serum (I no longer use this as it's been irritating my skin)
  • The Inkey List Retinol Serum
  • Model Off Duty Eye Cream
  • Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask

When I have extra time at night, I do use my Spa Sciences Aero skin infusion tool usually during my serum and cream steps or only the cream step if I’m more pressed for time.


Defy Gravity

Model Off Duty Beauty Superfruit Restorative Eye Cream

This eye cream claims to help you defy gravity (anti-aging) by supporting the lifting and firming of your eye area. It also claims to brighten and hydrate the thin skin around your eyes, helping to improve skin elasticity, while also minimizing fine lines. The main ingredients are organic pumpkin (vitamins A, C, and E, fights sun damage & wrinkles), cranberry oil (perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, firms & tightens skin), hyaluronic acid (retains moisture), marula (helps soften wrinkles & stimulate collagen, minimizes dark spots), and baobab oil (improves skin elasticity & fights free radicals). Also worth noting, the very first ingredient in this is not plain water but organic aloe leaf juice (highly anti-inflammatory). Other interesting ingredients include organic olive fruit oil (moisturizes & fights bacteria), organic rooibos leaf (fights free radicals & anti-aging), pomegranate seed (reduces & prevents wrinkles), and organic blueberry (very high in antioxidants & strengthens new collagen formation).

Onto the actual results...Did this lift and firm? “Yes” if one of your eye concerns is dryness. When your eye area is more hydrated (and long lasting hydration), fine lines are minimized and your eye area looks more healthy and awake. With prolonged use, the ingredients should help with the lifting and firming in the long run as well. Did this brighten and hydrate? “Yes”. To add onto my statement earlier, this not only hydrates your eye area, but I think it’s pretty long lasting as well. Normally when I wear foundation (or even just plain sunscreen), I can see my eye area look more crepey as the day goes on, and my eye area only really looks good the first hour that I apply eye cream. With the Model Off Duty Beauty one, my eye area still looks pretty hydrated by the end of the day, and any makeup I’m wearing doesn’t sink into my fine lines (you know what I'm talking about if you have this problem). Now, I don’t have serious dark circles, but I’ll occasionally get some shadowing due to a lack of sleep and dehydration. Usually I just need to properly hydrate my eye area and it looks nice and bright again. I’m happy to report that when I wake up the next morning, I have like zero dark circles while using this cream. Depending on the severity, this eye cream alone might not banish all your dark circles (I’m being realistic here), but it does contain actual ingredients that help minimize it and not some weird tint or shimmers that just masks the problem.

Finally, I think this eye cream does help with collagen boosting a bit since my right eye (the side that often gets more sun exposure) looks less sunken in. This eye cream does come in a lightweight pudding-like texture which not everyone might be into. It is different and I kind of like it as it does force me to carefully tap my eye area (you can’t really slather this on - it’s better to tap it in). Also, make sure the eye cream is properly absorbed before you move onto the next step in your routine. And because this eye cream is pretty lightweight, for those of you with really dry and/or mature skin, you might still want to use a heavy-duty eye cream at night (this is a great day cream though). While I don’t normally go around smelling all my skincare (unless it specifically advertises itself has having a nice scent), you can smell some alcohol in this. However, please note that this product contains organic alcohol (which isn’t the bad petroleum or denatured kind) and cetyl alcohol (which is a fatty alcohol and is actually good for you). At $38 USD for 1 oz. some of you might think that this eye cream is expensive (and maybe it is if you compare it to cheaper drugstore brands). I often buy eye creams from department stores and places like Sephora, so to me this eye cream is affordable considering its formulation, effectiveness, and how much product you get. There is even a larger 2 oz. jar for $61 USD (which brings this down to $30.50 USD/oz.) So if you have similar eye issues/concerns as referenced above, this is definitely worth a try and hopefully you have the same experience with it as I have.

Final Rating = 5/5 (As a day cream or lightweight eye cream for oily/combo skin).

Soothe + Hydrate

Model Off Duty Beauty Pure Rose Face Polish Exfoliator

This physical exfoliator claims to cleanse and remove dead skin cells. It also claims to soften your skin with emollients and even your skin tone. The main ingredients in this are: organic aloe vera juice (1st ingredient and highly anti-inflammatory), rose (anti-inflammatory & moisturizing), sweet almond oil shea butter (smoothing & moisturizing), and hibiscus (natural AHAs & oil controlling). Exfoliators are a lot more straight forward than other skincare products in that they should just exfoliate (seems easy enough to achieve). Now I tend to prefer chemical exfoliators as they really helped with my acne, however, I don’t mind the occasional physical exfoliator to slough off dry flakes on the outermost layer of my skin.

Onto the actual results...Did it cleanse and remove skin cells? “Yes” and very gently might I add. My face did not at all feel scratched up and red after using. Did this soften and even skin? This definitely softened. In fact, because I know it has nice moisturizing and nurturing ingredients such as rose, shea butter, and hibiscus, I like to leave this exfoliator on my face for about 3-5 minutes before applying some water and exfoliating. Now it doesn’t do any significant brightening (nor does it claim to), but when you exfoliate your skin, you do get an overall more even appearance (so “Yes” to that claim as well).

Finally, this exfoliator does smell a bit like roses/something floral, but not overpowering, just something fresh and natural. I think that if you’re specifically looking for a gentle physical exfoliator that also moisturizes and has clean ingredients, you can’t go wrong with this Model Off Duty Beauty one. This does come in a jar packaging though, so always make sure you use a clean spatula every time when applying. At $38 USD for 4 oz., I think that this is a good deal for such a large amount, plus you will most likely only use this 1-2 times a week anyway. I don’t really have anything bad to say about this physical exfoliator so this is definitely worth a try. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I have.

Final Rating = 5/5 (If you like physical exfoliators - no complaints here!)

Putting Skincare First

Final Impressions:

I feel like the idea behind Model Off Duty Beauty is that you can look and feel good in your own skin all the time, even when you’re “off duty”. I can get behind that especially since I don’t wear makeup all the time, but obviously I still want to care for my skin and put my best face forward (makeup or not). In short, skincare does get overwhelming and sometimes I feel like it’s even worse for those of us that have sensitive skin (or skin that seems to hate most things). While there seems to have been an increase in potentially harsh ingredients like tons of retinol, high percentage vitamin C and AHAs, I’m glad to have some across Model Off Duty Beauty, that offers some good quality products with more gentle ingredients in mind. Thank you Model Off Duty Beauty and I hope to try more products in the future!

If you have any questions about any of the products above, please let me know.

Tiam Vita A Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer

OST Rebranded

If you have been using Korean skincare for years (like before Sephora started to carry other Korean brands besides Amore Pacific), you might have heard of the OST C20 Vitamin C serum (this was also long before many started to jump on the vitamin C bandwagon). Prior to the OST C20 Vitamin C serum, I’ve only really tried vitamin C from Philosophy. I had really bad acne then, so I was kind of in the phase of trying all kinds of active products (vitamin C being one of them). The OST one was widely praised within the smaller Korean beauty community at the time, so I gave it a try. While I initially liked it, it was just a bit too strong for my skin and I ended up over-exfoliating. Although it didn’t quite work out for me, it was still a good product and I appreciated OST coming out with what was probably the only vitamin C product in K-beauty. I haven’t heard much from OST until earlier this year when I started seeing a brand called Tiam popping up on my Instagram...

Tiam is the rebranded name of the original company that brought to you the OST C20 Vitamin C serum. This might not mean much to you if you’ve never heard of or used that product before, but I still find it amazing that this brand is still around and didn’t just sink into the vast neverending sea of products out there. Still true to their original roots, Tiam’s products revolve around active (tried and true ingredients) for best results. Tiam or Tia’m means “a twinkle in the eye when you meet someone for the first time” in Persian. This might ring true for me as I have been lucky enough to get ahold of their new Vita A Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer, which I think is another one of many firsts as there are still not that many retinol/vitamin A type of products in Korean skincare. Read on to learn more about this product and my experience with it.

Disclosure:

I have won this product as part of a global contest/giveaway on Instagram, in exchange for my honest review. However, it was my decision to enter the giveaway as this particular product from Tiam did interest me, and I’m always looking into more anti-aging type of products. I was not given anything in exchange for reviewing this product. I enjoy doing product reviews to share my own experiences with the product and hope someone finds it useful. I do not work for Tiam.

Reduce Signs of Aging, Anti-Wrinkle, & Skin Elasticity

Product Description:

According to the Tiam website, the Vita A Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer is, “An anti-aging moisturizer that is formulated with high-enriched collagen and retinyl palmitate, a stable form of vitamin A, to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin’s firmness.”

Product Claims:

Like most anti-aging products, this claims to slow down the signs of aging with the addition of collagen and other kinds of nutrition for not only reducing wrinkles, but to help with skin elasticity, firmness and resilience as well.
  • 11,000 ppm (1.1%) retinyl palmitate to boost collagen & smooth skin
  • 10,000 ppm (1.0%) fish collagen to improve elasticity & firmness
  • Both ingredients also prevent acne & exfoliate

How to Use:

Like most vitamin A/retinol products, this should be used after cleansing, toning, and serums, but before your night cream. Although this does have “moisturizer” in its name, since vitamin A/retinol products can be drying and irritating, you probably should top it off with a heavier night cream or facial oil. Actives should ideally be used as often as possible for the best results. However if you have sensitive skin or have never used a vitamin A/retinol product before, you should start off slow and shouldn’t force yourself to use this product every single night. Pay attention to your skin and take notice if it starts acting up. If you can tolerate the product, then you can increase how often you use it (again use your own discretion). More often isn’t necessarily better if your skin is going to suffer for it. I’ve learned that lesson the hard way, so please listen to me when I mention that!

I personally use every 2, sometimes 3 days. My skin is very sensitive and I hate the irritation and dryness associated with vitamin A/retinol, so unfortunately even after ~3 weeks of use, I still wasn't able to use it more frequently than this. I could still see evidence of it working though.

[back up]


Vitamin A: Retinyl Palmitate vs Retinol

Unlike retinol which is the purest form of vitamin A, retinyl palmitate is like a more stable derivative that still smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, as well as helping to firm the skin. Although retinyl palmitate is not as potent as retinol (retinol is 20% more potent), it doesn’t mean that retinyl palmitate can’t be effective in its own way. It might not be able to boost cell turnover like retinol, but it can still boost collagen production. Also, stronger or more potent isn’t always better. If you have sensitive skin like me, and tend to over-exfoliate/get irritated with actives a bit easily, then you will appreciate more gentle actives like this. I always say, there’s no point in using actives (or forcing yourself to use any particular ingredient/product) if it’s going to make your face look worse rather than better. You don’t know how many times I’ve had like a long skin recovery because I’ve forced myself to use certain products. Honestly, my skin looks better with less. When you have sensitive skin, using potent actives daily can be overrated and potentially damaging to your skin (the opposite effect that you want).

Notable Ingredients:

  • Sunflower Seed Oil - Hydration and antioxidant protection. Has linoleic acid for reinforcing the skin barrier which helps reduce moisture loss.
  • Hydrolyzed Collagen (1% Fish Collagen) - Has Type 1 collagen which is the most abundant in the human body. This makes it rich in amino acids, all good stuff for helping one product collagen.
  • Retinyl Palmitate (1.1% Stable Vitamin A) - Protects against UV damage, slows down signs of aging, and encourages healthy skin cell production.
  • Peanut Oil - Can help with dry skin, eczema, etc.
  • Panthenol - Helps accelerate the healing in inflamed skin/acne.
  • Black Currant Fruit Extract - Rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. Nourishes dry, damaged skin, and is also anti-inflammatory.
  • Adenosine - Known for its anti-wrinkle properties, this smooths skin making it look younger.

Full Ingredients List:

Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Polysorbate 60, Panthenol, Ethylhexlglycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract, Yeast Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Xantham Gum, Fragrance, Adenosine.

Packaging, Scent & Texture

Packaging:

Tiam isn’t exactly a brand known for super fancy or unique packaging, but there’s totally nothing wrong with that. The amber-like brown and black plastic packaging is simple yet I wouldn’t say it’s cheap looking by any means. I also appreciate that it comes in a pump. Not all moisturizers have the consistency to be easily housed in a pump bottle (that’s why many come in jars), but this one does for those of you who are particular about that type of thing. Also, with something as active as vitamin A/retinol, it should come in a pump bottle to help preserve the ingredients and limit as much contact with your hands and the outside elements as much as possible.

Scent & Texture:

The best way I can describe the scent is that it’s kind of a nutty-butter type of scent. I suspect that could be because of the peanut oil in the ingredients. It doesn’t smell like peanut butter, but I get faint traces of something nutty and a buttery smell, kind of like shea butter (I think shea butter has a similar scent). It’s not scentless, but I don’t think it has an overly powerful perfume scent for those with sensitive noses.

As for the texture, it’s kind of a stereotypical white cream. It is fairly thick, but not so thick and it couldn’t be housed in a pump bottle. It’s creamy without feeling overly heavy and doesn’t leave your face greasy after. I can even imagine someone with oily skin using this product, though they’d probably prefer it at night and not during the day (retinol is usually better at night anyway).

Slowing Down The Signs of Aging

One thing I’ve eventually learned is that retinol/active percentage isn’t everything...

Using a product with a range of anti-aging ingredients in addition to retinol/active-ingredients, can be more valuable than just using a product with only a supposed high percentage of retinol alone.

Routine & Usage:

I’ve kind of had a rough last couple of months the last time I tried any new actives in my skincare routine, so I’ve decided to make my routine a bit more basic during my “trial” of this product. If you’ve been following me and don’t see certain products in my routine below, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ve stopped using those products, I’ve just temporarily omitted them from my routine for the time being.

My skincare routine for the ~3 weeks that I used the Tiam Vita A Moisturizer are as follows below.

Morning:
  • Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
  • Son & Park Beauty Water
  • Then I Met You The Giving Essence
  • Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask
  • The Ordinary “The Buffet” Serum
  • Laneige Water Bank Hydro Essence
  • Glossier Bubblewrap Eye & Lip Cream
  • Glossier Futuredew Facial Oil


Night:
  • Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
  • Son & Park Beauty Water
  • Then I Met You The Giving Essence
  • The Ordinary “The Buffet” Serum
  • Tiam Vita A Moisturizer (Because I’m ultra sensitive to retinol-based products, I usually sandwich this between my Laneige cream)
  • Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream (Korean version that includes squalane in the ingredients list)
  • Peach & Lily Pure Beam Luxe Oil (I mix a couple of drops into my Laneige cream)
  • AHC Ultimate Real Eye Cream for Face (around eye and mouth lines only)
  • Peach & Lily Cold Brew Eye Recovery Stick


Besides the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask (which I use during the day), I didn’t use any other actives while using the Tiam Vita A Moisturizer. I also tried not to use too many “stimulating” products, though that is somewhat hard since I feel like I’m aging faster than I’d like so I’m always trying new anti-aging products and ingredients...

When I have extra time at night, I do use my Spa Sciences Aero skin infusion tool usually during my serum and cream steps or only the cream step if I’m more pressed for time.

Performance:

I honestly think vitamin A + collagen is a good combination...I’ve used both separately before and they weren’t that *great* alone in my opinion...

Vitamin A is definitely exfoliating/smoothing, but as someone who is losing some firmness in her face due to aging, it has not helped with that at all. I’ve used some collagen in the past before but didn’t think much of it (maybe they were cheaper quality), but using this product that combines both, I finally see some firming/plumping. Even if it is temporary, I welcome this with open arms.

Other than that, I don’t think I have too much to report results-wise. At least not anything super drastic that I think warrants posting a before and after photo. That is not to say that this product doesn’t work. It definitely does, it’s just that I’ve been using retinol-based products for years (since my mid-20’s due to acne-related issues). So it’s not my first time using retinol, therefore there isn’t much improvement to my existing skin condition. Vitamin A is definitely good for exfoliating/smoothing your skin as well as keeping acne under control (which is what I originally used it for). It’s also good for anti-aging in the long run. One of the things I hated about it was that despite using it for years, it never did anything for firming up my skin. It was also super irritating and drying for me, therefore I could never use it as much as I wanted to.

I’m happy to report that the Tiam Vita A Moisturizer was definitely both more gentle and hydrating than the majority of retinol-based products that I’ve tried. For someone that has very sensitive skin like myself, I can use this about every other night or so. I say every other night or so because if I use it too often, I do still get some increased peeling. But I guess that means it’s working. By comparison, I never got any peeling with the Inkey List Retinol which made me wonder if it was doing anything at all sometimes. Also, due to nurturing ingredients like sunflower seed oil and peanut oil, it is a bit more hydrating as well. That is not to say that it can replace your moisturizer because I don’t think it does. You also don’t want to over apply a retinol-based product like a moisturizer, because it will just increase dryness and irritation to your skin. I would recommend at least topping it off with a light facial oil if you’re not going to use another moisturizer or sleeping cream over it.

They say that topically applied collagen can be shown to decrease the depth of wrinkles…However collagen is a large protein & molecule, therefore it cannot fully penetrate the skin’s barrier.

Regardless, topical collagen is still a good humectant that adds moisture to your skin, which in turn can help improve the look of your wrinkles. There are definitely some things out there that can use some more scientific evidence out there, however, it does not necessarily make it a bad ingredient. Your mileage may vary and if you personally feel that collagen adds to your beauty routine, then more power to you.

Pros:

  • About $14.30 USD depending on where you buy it from. It is definitely one of the more affordable retinol-based options out there.
  • Contains 1% fish collagen which is an added bonus and also makes this product seem more unique (beyond just a “retinol product”).
  • Contains moisturizing ingredients such as sunflower seed oil and peanut oil. The sunflower seed oil alone is the 4th ingredient.
  • One of the more gentle retinol-based products. Might be worth a look if you have sensitive skin or just can't handle stronger strengths of retinol (or even just starting to use vitamin A/retinol).
  • Does not leave a greasy finish. Actually comes out fairly matte.
  • Comes in a convenient pump bottle.

Cons:

  • More experienced retinol users might not like this as it may not be “strong enough” for their personal preferences/needs.
  • Though proven to be anti-aging, this is still no miracle worker and does require some time and patience to see some results.
  • Although this is more on the gentle side, you do need to pay attention to your skin for any increased dryness and sensitivity (do not over exfoliate).
  • It has “moisturizer” in its name, but it’s not that moisturizing, especially if you have dry skin. It’s basically a treatment in a creamy form. Please top it off with a night cream or facial oil if possible.
  • Can only be purchased online. If you already have a vitamin A/retinol product that you like and prefer to buy locally, you probably don’t want to go out of your way to order this online. There are already many good (and affordable too) vitamin A/retinol products here in the U.S.

Additional Care

Final Impressions:

I’m not sure what else I can say that hasn’t already been covered. I tried to be as informative as possible. Keep in mind that I have used retinol for many years already so I do apologize I don’t have much to add in terms of effects I’ve seen from this product. It’s kind of like you’ve “used one retinol product, you’ve used them all”. They’re all very similar with varying degrees of strength and different additional ingredients.

I do credit this product with re-igniting my interest in collagen...It’s been a few years since I’ve used it and I’m sure there’s been some new improvements by now.

Vitamin A/retinol is a good ingredient but I feel like you need more than just that in your routine. You should add vitamin C and peptides, etc. as well.

Will I purchase this product in the future? Probably not, but that’s because I’ve personally moved beyond vitamin A/retinol and want to start using bakuchiol (that plant-based alternative) now. However if I’m doing a haul at jolse.com and need to pick up an affordable retinol product for the bf, this is one that I might reach for.

Final Rating = 4/5 as someone with senstive skin (3.5/5 if you're a more experienced retinol-user)

Any questions about this product and/or my experience, please let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
