Everything I've tried from Activist has been amazing. I started out with travel sizes of the Vitamin C serum, Sea to Skin Cleansing Gel, and Botanical Cleansing Oil but have purchased full sizes of all. I have really dry, sensitive skin and my main concerns are sun/UV damage and making sure I'm taking good care of my skin as I age. Activist products have been great for that! I particularly love the Sea to Skin Cleansing Balm and Botanical Cleansing Oil, they feel so nourishing and are lovely to use! If you're on the fence I would suggest giving Activist products a try!
I bought this for the Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm, Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum, Calming Force Clear Skin Serum, and Precious Oils Active Infusion. I actually bought full size bottles of both serums and the oil in addition to the trial kit because I had so much faith I would love these products. The other products I couldn’t test due to essential oils. I have not been disappointed. I started using the products during the time of the month when my skin tends to be irritated, inflamed, and breaking out due to hormones. I don’t even recognize my skin. The few spot that did pop up have been small and have gone away in a few days with the help of the serums. My skin has not been irritated or inflamed at all. I really think the calming force skin serum is working wonders. Also, I am really enjoying the vitamin c serum. The mix of actives is insanely good (in both serums actually) and I have not experienced any irritation. I tend to have good luck with the vitamin c derivative used. It’s one of the few my skin tolerates. The only product I tried that I didn’t like was the deep moisture cleansing balm. I liked everything except that it doesn’t emulsify in water. I had to use a towel to remove it and it still felt like it was on my skin. If it emulsified and washed away easily, I would definitely buy the full size. I’ve been using them everyday for almost two weeks not and the amount of product in the picture is what I still have left. I use two drops of each product and rosewater face mist from Cocokind between each layer. My skin has been so hydrated and happy :) p.s. I switched products because my previous ones were causing me to breakout around my hairline. The breakouts went away within a week of switching to Activist.
Really enjoyed my sample of sunscreen with tinted foundation. Moisturizes my very dry nose.
