Anyone who has spent even a few scrolls on the beauty side of TikTok has likely seen someone use the Dieux Instant Angel moisturizer. Rich, without being too heavy, and packed with fatty acids, peptides, ceramides, glycerin, and squalane, the product has held universal appeal since its 2022 launch—apt for both hydration and skin barrier repair. But despite so many reasons to love it, Dieux co-founder and chief brand officer Charlotte Palermino didn’t anticipate it skyrocketing to viral acclaim.
“I saw how my skin responded to Instant Angel, so I knew the formula was good, but I didn’t expect celebrities who have access to everything, like Hailey Bieber, just organically posting our product, which did help supercharge adoption and press coverage,” she tells Vogue. “The versatility, the gorgeousness of the texture, and the fact that your skin improves over time and visibly firms…. I think that’s why loyalty is so high.” And while she jokes that she doesn’t like to tempt fate, she believes that the team has another standout formula with the new Skin Mercy Intense Recovery Cream, available to shop today.
