About Allies of Skin

Born in 2016 from our founder and formulator Nicolas Travis’s journey healing from traumatic facial injuries, Allies of Skin creates the most effective products to bring continuous improvement, repair, and hope to your skin, no matter your life stage or concerns. Our multifunctional formulas tend to even the trickiest issues with the power of what Nic calls “supercharged clinicals” — maxed-out concentrations of clinically proven actives that do more in less time. Every benefit-packed product taps into the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, maintaining its peak performance far beyond what’s traditionally possible.
