Allimax Nutraceuticals Alliderm Gel / 30 Milliliters

Alliderm Gel delivers stabilized allicin straight to the skin, no garlic breath required.

Garlic has been getting rubbed on things since before we had a word for "topical." We just took that idea, stabilized the allicin so it actually sticks around, and put it in a gel instead of a clove. You're welcome. Nobody wants to walk around with a bulb of garlic taped to their arm. That's not skincare, that's a marinade.

What It Actually Does

Alliderm Gel is a topical formula built around stabilized allicin, the same naturally occurring compound found in garlic, but processed so it stays active on your skin instead of just making your hands smell like a bread stick. It's designed to support healthy-looking skin and nourish the skin's surface as part of your regular routine. That's it. That's the pitch. We're not reinventing skin, we're just giving it something useful to work with.

• Supports healthy-looking, nourished skin
• Formulated with stabilized allicin from garlic extract
• Lightweight gel, made for direct topical application
• Fits easily into a daily skin care routine
• 30 mL bottle, small enough to lose in a gym bag, which you will

How To Use It

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin as needed. It's a gel, so it does the thing gels do: goes on smooth, absorbs in, doesn't leave you feeling like you rolled around on a countertop. You don't need much. This isn't sunscreen at a beach in July. A little goes a long way, mostly because allicin is a pretty concentrated idea to begin with.

Why Allicin

Allicin only exists for a few minutes after garlic gets crushed or cut, it's basically the compound's one-hit wonder. Left alone, it breaks down before it does much of anything, which is a problem if you're trying to build a product around it. Allimax stabilizes it so it holds together long enough to actually be useful on skin, instead of evaporating like a New Year's resolution. That's the whole engineering challenge here, and it's the reason this comes in a lab-formulated gel and not just a crushed clove taped to your forearm with a rubber band, which, again, someone somewhere has definitely tried.

Alliderm Gel is made for people who want a straightforward topical addition to their skin care routine, something that supports the skin's natural health without a nineteen-step process or an ingredient list you need a chemistry degree to pronounce. Just allicin, stabilized, in a gel, in a 30 mL bottle. Simple. Like the best bits usually are.
