Your Best Face Balance (day cream)
Size: 1.0 oz (30 ml)
Your Best Face Balance is a face cream designed to control breakouts, calm irritation and regulate shine.
Scent: Lavender scent.
Directions:
Use Balance by itself or layered with other skincare products. Evenly apply a small amount and reapply as often as desired. Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin.
TIA Review by Marta:
Balance is a pale blue, soothing and cooling cream with a lovely whiff of lavender. It has been formulated (at a most reasonable price, I must say) to control breakouts, calm irritation and regulate shine - all without drying out the skin at all. I have found that I can use it all over the face, or just where needed and it plays nice with any other potions I happen to be using.
Although YBF bills it as perfect for 20-somethings, my 50-year old skin is finding it extremely useful and the addition of L-carnosine is giving me an antiaging boost. I even found myself recommending it along YBF Prep to a 40-something reader who emailed me for advice for her oily, sensitive skin that had blocked pores and had been subjected to too much retinol.
YBF always tends to be a bit out there (in a good way) and I had to grin when I saw that Balance contains tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA). This was one of our ingredients to look out for in 2010. As well as being an antioxidant, it is anti-inflammatory and may hold promise for helping those with acne. It protects cell proteins and metabolism and, it seems, regulating the sebum that is responsible for acne.
In the anti-acne dept, we can also find niacin and vitamin B. Bisabolol, hyaluronate and azulene soothe, hydrate. Dab it on before your morning commute and YBF claims that the soothing lavender and neroli oils will banish rush hour blues.

First, I have worked hard to have good skin, before I came upon the dream of any woman who is concerned about skin care as they age when I found the TIA website.
Having tried ReLuma, I was informed that this product needs something to "fix". Since I am well over 55 and still have nothing but marionette lines to contend with, this was not the solution for me, now.
Marta suggested YBF Control, which again, did not help my skin, as it is supple, thus I ended up with an oily face that needed blotting throughout the day.
Trust that the TIA customer service team, under Marta's guidance, could find something for me, I have been using YBF Balance, mixed with very little of the anti-oxidant cream that I use with my Ultra New.
My face looked amazing in less than two weeks. I can wear so little make up, giving me more time to sleep, that I am totally loving this product. My co-workers ask me if I have had any work done (injectibles)...not yet! My skin looks porcelain, with no worries to touch up any oil or shiny spots. This lasts easily 14+ hours.
Agreed, it does create a matte finish, but, when I add the antioxidant, it become luminous and very supple, as they tell me at the high end beauty counters. I have shared this site with many people, as the products are truly amazing.

This is by far the best daily facial cream I've ever tried. I use it alone in the am and with boost at night. I am 30 and have noticed my skin getting clearer and "better" when I use it. I buy 2 at a time because the pump is finicky and you can run out suddenly. The last time that this happened to me I went back to using something cheap for a week or so and my skin instantly broke out again. Now I am always prepared! If you have combination skin and want a product free of nasty additives that will actually make your skin look great then buy this.

Balance I believe is intended for people with oily/normal skin that is prone to break-outs and want to matte the area’s which become shiny/oily during the day. I love Defend and am using Balance to compare. I’d say I like Defend a bit more but the price difference between the two make Balance an easier buy. The matte look is one of the main reasons why I use it!

apparently for 20-somethings. I’m in my 30s. I thought it was a very good eye care product. It moisturizes the under-eye area well and seemed to hold fine lines at bay, as well as under-eye shadows. I like the texture and the price point.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much positive to say about Balance, a face moisturizer. For some reason, it left my face with an odd “matte” look and was not very moisturizing. On the other hand, I have very dry skin, especially in the winter. This product might be good for someone with an oilier skin type.

A 1-oz bottle is $45 in the TIA store & has lasted me for 6 weeks already, so a little goes a long way. I decided to try it in a variety of combinations & found that I liked it best when used in addition to my moisturizer. It gave my skin more of a matte finish & seemed to make the rosacea on my cheek less noticeable. The price is quite reasonable & I’d definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with acne, or for anyone looking for a fairly light moisturizer, which would likely be the younger folks, as we “mature” folks usually need something a bit more hydrating. The fact that I liked it best when used in combination with my existing moisturizer vs. as a stand alone product, will keep me from having it as a regular part of my daily skincare regime. My husband already complains about how long it takes me to do my skincare, so adding another product without subtracting one…well, it just wouldn’t do!

As a late thirty-something, I really like this product. As I have gotten older, the pores in my t-zone have enlarged – ugh! This product really helps to minimize and shrink them. Additionally, it makes my skin feel smooth and soft. While I am testing it as winter is beginning here in Maryland (as opposed to super humid summer conditions), it does a really good job at keeping the excess oil at bay.
I have to say that it has really decreased the random hormonal breakouts that I normally experience a few times a month in my chin area. This is a product I will keep in my repertoire.
