Really enjoying the Activist calming serum

I ordered a trial set and really liked this serum to help my occasional breakouts and redness. It feels so clean and my skin feels soft after as well. I really recommend this company for their products and environmental policy!

No other product will do!

Thank you for developing this product. My sensitive skin has always been a struggle. Now in my mid-40’s - 4 years from 50 - I needed something that would preserve what is left of my youth. I use Activist Botanical Cleansing Oil, Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum, Calming Force Clear Skin Serum, and Precious Oils Active Infusion. The travel kit is convenient and last a long time. It takes just a little of each. I highly recommend.
