What's the Difference Between Vital Balm Cream and Advanced Hydration Mask?

Q.) What's the Difference Between Vital Balm Cream and Advanced Hydration Mask?
A.) There are many difference between the two products, but the do have some overlapping benefits:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The formulations are very different. The oil profiles are unique for a balance of fatty acids in each. Advanced Hydration Mask (AHM) contains plant based wax, Vital Balm Cream (VBC) does not. Yes, the herbal extracts are the same. Both contain Blue Tansy, AHM has German Blue Chamomile, VBC does not. 

AHM is not designed to fully penetrate the skin the way VBC is. It’s a mask treatment. It’s formulated to restore skin barrier function and work in conjunction with the Hydrating Accelerator to lock hydration in the skin with lipid, wax and oil reinforcement similar to the skin structure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The base of VBC is aloe vera juice and the base of AHM is shea and mango butter. There is shea butter in VMB as well, but much less shea & more mango. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

VBC is designed to absorb and deliver herbal actives into the skin while leaving a moisturized finish that seals in the plant constituents - a reinforced barrier - perfect as a primer for Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30 and makeup. VBC contains certified, ethically-sourced honey, which is phased into the formulation with specific timing and temperature methodology, to offer extended moisturizing ability that helps deliver its unparalleled results. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yes, you can wear AHM overnight - the results are wonderful - as long as you don’t smear it on your pillow. Yes, AHM works as a moisturizer as well - it’s excellent at protecting and accelerating the skins healing ability. It just doesn’t absorb like VBC, so I prefer VBC during the day, but AHM will absolutely moisturize effectively as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
VBC and AHM were both designed for dehydrated and dry skin types and conditions. Some with combo and acne prone skin have had great success with both. Others who congest easily might not - everyone is different. Oily skin types have shown to have great success with both and report a balancing of their skin's oil after applying Vital Balm Cream.
