Created by regular guys for regular guys in late 2015, Tiege Hanley is a skin care subscription service that aims to take the guesswork out of skin care. Tiege Hanley founders Kelley Thornton and Rob Hoxie set out to design a simple, hassle free system that offered their mostly male clientele affordable, effective skin care products, as well as some education on how to effectively take care of their skin. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the brand has evolved into a skin care subscription service that delivers an entire set of products right to your door. For those who don\u2019t have the time or knowledge to build a skin care routine from scratch, this streamlined approach can be extremely helpful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But does a simple skin care routine equate to an effective skin care routine? To answer that question, we\u2019ll have to evaluate the Tiege Hanley product formulations through a scientific lens. That means we\u2019ll dive into the research that supports (or doesn\u2019t support) the ingredients used in these products. We\u2019ll also share some Tiege Hanley reviews so that you can get a better idea of what customers think of these products. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside Tiege Hanley Skin Care?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before we get into the key ingredients that you\u2019ll find in Tiege Hanley skin care products, we have to let you know that this brand uses very low concentrations of their key ingredients. We know this by looking at the ingredient lists for their products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients are listed in order of descending concentrations, and most of the Tiege Hanley skin care products list their \u201ckey\u201d ingredients after the preservative phenoxyethanol, which cannot be used in concentrations more than 1%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means you\u2019re getting less than 1% of those ingredients, which likely isn\u2019t doing your skin any good! We find it to be very deceiving for the brand to highlight \u201ckey\u201d ingredients on their website, when really their products are mostly composed of water, glycerin, and silicones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the Tiege Hanley AM Moisturizer contains three chemical sunscreen ingredients to provide SPF 20 protection. The rest of the formula is composed of water, synthetic emollients, silicones, beeswax, and glycerin. The brand claims that calendula extract, plantain extract, lavender oil, and rosemary leaf oil are key ingredients. However, all four of these ingredients are present in very low concentrations (less than 1%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tiege<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to point out that there\u2019s nothing wrong with the high concentrations of silicones in Tiege Hanley skin care products. <\/span>Silicones improve a product\u2019s spreadability while imparting a silky, smooth skin feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, silicones form a protective covering on the skin that provides <\/span>both water-binding and water-resistant properties. The water-binding portion of the molecule is the highly flexible and mobile siloxane backbone, which binds to moisture in the air and holds it to the skin. This backbone also allows the water-repelling methyl groups to orient themselves toward the surface, creating a waterproof “umbrella\u201d that prevents trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see, silicones can provide several benefits to the skin. What we don\u2019t like is that the brand tries to make it seem as though botanical extracts are the key ingredients in the Tiege Hanley skin care products, when in reality most of the formula is composed of silicones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The one Tiege Hanley skin care product that actually contains a decent amount of beneficial ingredients is the Super Serum. Two of the key anti-aging ingredients in this serum include acetyl hexapeptide-8 and retinyl palmitate. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how these ingredients will benefit your skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
\n<\/b>It\u2019s great that the brand includes acetyl hexapeptide-8 in the Tiege Hanley Super Serum because this is an excellent anti-aging ingredient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also known as Argireline, <\/span>acetyl hexapeptide-8 <\/span>is a six amino acid peptide that is a fragment of SNAP-25.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It works by limiting the ability of neurotransmitters to activate movement in your facial muscles, for example, when forming facial expressions such as smiling or frowning. By inhibiting the nerves that cause facial muscles to contract, subtle facial expressions are limited and wrinkles are subsequently reduced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend <\/span>Carrot & Stick The Repair Serum.<\/a> It contains 7 plant-based peptides to promote plumper and smoother-looking skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Retinyl Palmitate
\n<\/b>The brand uses a low concentration of retinyl palmitate in the Tiege Hanley Super Serum, but with retinoids that\u2019s totally fine. In fact, concentrations as low as 0.01% have been proven to be effective for daily use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Retinoic acid works deep within the skin where it boosts collagen synthesis, increases elasticity, and repairs connective tissue. It also increases cellular turnover, which helps to prevent clogged pores and also promotes smoother, healthier skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a publication in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging, retinoic acid can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use retinoids at night. We recommend this <\/span>retinol serum<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 It contains a next generation retinol complex for optimal results.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Tiege Hanley Skin Care Products?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The goal of the Tiege Hanley founders was to create simple skin care regimens that tackle multiple skin concerns at once. That\u2019s why the brand offers three skin care systems: Level 1 is the most basic, Level 2 adds in an extra step, and Level 3 is a full fledged regimen. Here\u2019s a breakdown of each of these systems:<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiege Hanley Level 1 Skin Care System<\/h2>\n

Level 1 is the most streamlined, as well as the most cost effective. With this system, customers receive four products:<\/span><\/p>\n
