Alpha-H has been quite the discovery for me, a brand I didn't think I would ever try and is now one I don't think I could be without. New to the collection is the Multivitamin Super Cream, a product which is described as being a multivitamin in a jar.
Back in 2017, Alpha-H introduced Vitamin Profiling which has been described as a multi-disciplinary approach to lifestyle and ageing using a skin identical topically-applied cosmeceutical vitamins. Essentially meaning that most of us don't take vitamins in any form and in fact less than 1% of those ingested orally ever reach the epidermis and given that our daily lives are now suffering from the effects of pollution, which is taking its toll on our skin – in the form of pigmentation, inflammation, damaged barrier function, loss of firmness and other signs of premature ageing, there is also stress and life in general. So we need to be doing all we can to bolster the skins antioxidant capabilities.
So, the clever people over at Alpha-H (Michelle is a genius) have released this Multivitamin Super Cream (it is a non-AHA) and it works to deliver time-released doses of bioavailable vitamins and this concentrated cream contains:
So, the clever people over at Alpha-H (Michelle is a genius) have released this Multivitamin Super Cream (it is a non-AHA) and it works to deliver time-released doses of bioavailable vitamins and this concentrated cream contains:
- vitamin A (retinol) to help reduce wrinkle depth and firm the skin;
- vitamin B (niacinamide) to increase production of ceramides and fatty acids to build moisture;
- vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid) to brighten skin tone and provide antioxidant protection and, finally,
- vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) to promote healing, hydration and repair.
Alongside these vitamins, the cream also contains an ingredient called ‘Pollushield’, an innovative polymer that acts like a microscopic net over the skin to prevent the absorption of toxic metals and urban grime and it is said to have been clinically proven to trap between 74 and 97% of pollutants over a six-hour period.
What I really like about this cream is that being silicone free, it absorbs quickly and is perfect for use during the day or at night. Using the airless pump dispenser, just two pumps gives you enough cream for one use.

You can use this cream as with and over your chosen serum and is suitable for all skin types but ideally, those which are dehydrated, lipid dry, and showing signs of premature ageing.
This has been one of my favourite discoveries from Alpha-H. Living here in London, I am only too aware as to how much the pollution is affecting my skin. Whilst I am lucky enough to not suffer from breakouts, I do use anti-pollution products to protect my skin and even when I double cleanse, I can see just how much 'guff' has been sitting on my skin, it is vile.
Priced at £45 you can find it here via Cult Beauty.
