2025 Update: BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream has new packaging but the formula ingredients and experience remain the same. Read our review and ingredient deep-dive

We recently experienced BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner, a patented Stable C cream. The other half of the BeautyStat dynamic duo is the BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream.

what are BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream Benefits?

It hydrates, buffers and boosts Vitamin C tolerance.

Buffering actives is mandatory for sensitive skin types.

But we find BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream stands on its’ own beauty merit with a host of skin-enhancing ingredients.

It’s Not Easy Being The Moisturizing SideKick

The moisturizer product of many treating topical/moisturizer duos is typically the Robin, who pales in comparison to the superhero Batman product. Robin is a perfectly respectable sidekick that does his part. But you’re primarily interested in Batman. You just wouldn’t watch Robin alone.

But know this: BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream is no Robin the sidekick within this dynamic duo. This cream stands on its’ own merit with a host of skin-enhancing ingredients, each with their own superpowers.

So, let’s just skip to the good stuff and examine why this cream merits your attention: the ingredients.

Ingredients in BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream

Pomegranate Sterol

Pomegranate Sterols is a safe, natural pomegranate based skincare ingredient. Those juicy, jewel-like seeds are arils.

What are Pomegranate skincare benefits?

Arils are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A, C, K, and E plus folic acid.
Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of wine or green tea. [1]
Pomegranate Sterol is made by extracting the arils juice. It increases skin barrier formation and improves skin hydration. Testing shows Pomegranate Sterols holds double its’ weight in water.
Also, it packs an amazing collagen-building punch.

How Pomegranate Benefits Skin on StyleChicks

Pomegranate promotes collagen production and skin hydration

Ceramide-2

Ceramide-2 is one of the ceramides that hold the lipid barrier which protects the skin. We are born with enough ceramides but lose them with age or sometimes with overly harsh facial washing. Ceramide-2 is used for its’ ability to moisturize and hold moisture in the skin.

GANODERMA LUCIDUM EXTRACT

Ganoderma Lucidum or Reishi mushrooms

Ganoderma is also called Asian Mushroom Extract, reishi or lingzhi. This mushroom has been used for centuries in traditional medicinal practice and is known as “mushroom of immortality”. Ganoderma Lucidum Extract comes from a mushroom with polysaccharides. These are responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water. It promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.

Bifida Extract

Bifida Extract or Bifida Ferment Lysate is a probiotic in the kombucha family. It reduces skin sensitivity and kick starts the skin into healing itself. [2] It is an important ingredient in the BeautyStat duo because it enables more sensitive skin to tolerate the potential irritation of transformative topicals, like Vitamin C.

White Birch Bark

BETULA ALBA BARK EXTRACT

Betula Alba Bark Extract comes from the White Birch tree. It contains vitamins B1, B2, A, C, and E. It is known for skin healing, conditioning, and anti-inflammatory properties. Research indicates that that birch bark extract can improve the skin barrier, increase skin hydration and reduce trans-epidermal water loss [3].

Also

Glycerin a non-toxic natural humectant and hydrator that helps skin attract and maintain moisture.

Cetearyl olivate is an emulsifier. It is a natural and safe alternative to PEG. It is made of a “good alcohol” and olive fatty acids.

Olives give Cetearyl olivate hydrating superpowers. The olive fatty acids give deep hydration, smooth skin and give the product a silky texture.

The BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream Experience

It is a gel-like cream that absorbs quickly without being greasy.
Vitamin C serum, makeup and sunscreen don’t pill on top.
No chalky residue.
Takes a minute to dry down, but it dries down smooth and leaves skin soft.

We love that it is fragrance-free, just a dab goes a long way, and it complements and supports the BeautyStat Universal C.

BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream stands on its’s own as a skin-enhancing treatment AND buffers and supports the Vitamin C Cream

Experiment

With several ingredients that boost the skin’s ability to tolerate and buffer a potentially drying active like Vitamin C, this moisturizer is a real find for those with sensitive skin.

Would this cream protect my skin if I overapplied topicals with potent actives? I had to over-apply Vitamin C and find out.

So I slathered my face with BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner.

I slathered the under eyes, throat, near my mouth, under the nostrils, all those sensitive areas in a deliberate attempt to see if I COULD get irritated with the BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream on top.

Then I applied the Boost Cream.

At first, I felt a bit tight but there was no redness no peeling or dryness, and skin looked really good the next day with no hint of my overzealous application.

I typically apply Vitamin C gingerly, but with the BeautyStat Universal Pro-Bio Moisture Boost Cream, I’ve applied more generously. That really helps treat problematic areas.

Results

We find this cream to also be highly useful with other actives such as Retin-A, Alpha Lipoic Acid, or post AHA peels. If you find your skin too sensitive to tolerate these or other actives, this boost cream could change the game for your skin.

Best use tip: We even suggest using the Boost cream a few days BEFORE starting the active topical to get it in optimal shape and hydration to maximize your chances of successfully tolerating Vitamin C or other creams.

ABOUT THIS POST

BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner was submitted to Style Chicks for consideration purposes. All opinions and experiences are 100% our own.

Maybe you saw BeautyStat on Good Morning America, or read about it in Allure, Violet Grey, Coveuteur, or WWD. And now, on StyleChicks. Because here at StyleChicks we’ve tried plenty of high-end Vitamin C topicals. But our BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner experiences got and kept our attention. What happens after using a bottle of BeautyStat? We are here to tell our BeautyStat tales. First up is Lyn, her chief skin compliant is dark spots and hyperpigmentation due to sun damage.

BeautyStat Universal Skin Refiner contains a Stable Vitamin C for superior performance

Lyn here. I knew right away this product was unique. I was interested to see what one bottle could accomplish. BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner is a unique stable C that doesn’t oxidize. This Vitamin C is potent and fresh to the last drop. Often with a Vitamin C serum, you don’t really know if it is working by the end of the bottle and you have to invest in a second bottle and hope for the best. But with BeautyStat, I knew.

Me and Vitamin C

Skin-obsessed and well over 35, Vitamin C serum has been part of my daily routine for years. I didn’t have a particular preferred brand, some Vitamin Cs worked better than others. I was getting along well until … dark spots appeared. Lots of them.

Out, darn (age) spot! The backstory

Sunscreen fanatic here. But somehow, I got dark spots on the top of my cheekbone, where light hits. Visually it appears as one larger-than-an-inch birthmark-like patch atop each cheekbone. They are far darker and bigger than freckles and they are not cute like freckles. They show in photos and IRL even when I spackle concealer over them. The unfortunate placement is like a permanent contour where there ought to be highlighter. It alters the visual contours of my face and makes me look drawn and older.

The dark spots defied all my standard remedies. I tried niacinamide, retinol, at home dermabrasion, dermaplaning, Vitamin K, topical Alpha Lipoic Acid, and glycolic peels at home and at a spa.

Meanwhile, I had been using Vitamin C serums entire time. So I expected nothing to change dark spot-wise from using BeautyStat. I was wrong.

My beautystat Experience

Universal C Skin Refiner is aptly named. The morning after I first used it, I noticed a skin texture refinement. It was like after an AHA peel without the peeling, dryness, or irritation.

BeautyStat won’t pill under my sunscreen or makeup. It is not greasy, sticky, or tacky.

My sensitive skin tolerates daily BeautyStat use, even around the eye area.

I apply a thin layer on my face, throat, collarbone. Then go back in dabbing extra on my dark spots, acne scars and eleven lines.

Stable C is potent. I recommend sensitive skin users buffer with a moisturizer to tolerate daily use. BeautyStat makes one that I haven’t tried, so I can’t opine on it. I used a light lotion with no actives (Cerave or Clinique DDML). I experienced no dryness or flaking even with daily use.

Just a bit spreads evenly and smoothly on my face

Results

My face has overall spot fading and skin texture improvement. But most notable is the breakdown and reduction of the very dark pigment of the collective age spots patches. Now normal pigment skin appears between the spots so it is no longer a mega spot. The spots no longer obstruct my cheekbone. The discolored spots are visible in bright sunlight, but far less so in indoor lighting.

I don’t know how long it will take to remove the dark hyperpigmentation completely. But BeautyStat made more progress in a few weeks than I got in two years with any other dark spot treatment. Bravo!

Will another bottle of BeautyStat vanquish my dark spots for good? I sure am game to find out.
