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.
I absolutely love the smell of this moisturizer! I look forward to cleaning my face each morning and night and have already seen a difference in my dark spots. Previously, anything oil based made me break out and thankfully all the products from Activist have only been healing for my skin.
I have mature sensitive skin and have been using the full Activist skincare line for about a month now, and love it. I thought I would have issues using oils, but no! No sensitivities! Just velvety smooth skin! 51 years old and wearing no make up. Woohoo
Activist customer service very quickly responded to my requests and worked to resolve them. I'm very happy with my change to their products. I'm not great at washing my face at night but have still noticed a large difference with their daytime routine. Highly recommend!
I love Activist. I have nightmare skin and have spent a small fortune trying to soothe it. Activist just works, quietly and without fanfare. Allison is a wonderful human being and has helped me to come up with the best regimen for me, especially since I have a severely limited income. It means a lot to buy from an ethical company run by a caring human-- especially when the products actually work. I'm so happy to have found Activist.
This cleanser is perfect for me! It moisturizes my skin while cleaning it! It smells good and doesn’t irritate my face even when I’m extra dry!
The sun screen was very heavy and extremely greasy feeling. Although it's tinted I had to put makeup over it to get a light coverage. I found the smell extremely strong and very off putting.
I'm almost 50 and I've spent years trying a variety of cleansers and this one has finally been what has worked for me. In combination with the 4 step process my skin feels soft and clean daily.
Rich, creamy, and melts into the skin! I love that it is not thick and it makes my skin feel so hydrated
Activist's mineral-based sunscreen lotion has a lot of sustainability cred and is tinted to further protect against ageing. Unfortunately, it is quite greasy. I won't be reordering it.
This is my moisturizer, sunscreen, and make up in one. You can really use a quarter teaspoon and it melts into the skin and dries down to be a satin finish. The color is perfect for olive skin tones. It isn’t orange or pink. I have the medium, but I’ll probably use the light in the winter. The ingredients are perfect, so clean! It said it was for ingredient snobs and it definitely passes with me. The coverage is light, but perfect. It doesn’t settle anywhere and everything just looks better. I actually feel really pretty wearing this! Don’t change a thing.
I’ve only used it for a few days, but I like it so far. I think my skin is showing signs of improvement (less redness in random places). It feels good on my face, too. I appreciate the glass/metal/cardboard housings,
versus plastic.
I have tried at least 10 different facial oils from a variety of luxury brands and this one is the one I keep reaching for. I find that only 5 drops gives me a full face of moisture that doesn’t sit on top of the skin but soaks in quickly. Instead of needing layers of moisture and hydration, this oil leaves my skin feeling plump and healthy.
This is the first and only vitamin c where I have actually seen a difference in my dark under eyes! It is truly a high quality product!
I've had a great experience with Activist. Zero complaints. Five compliments, aka stars :). I was gifted the Activist Trial Kit and loved everything in it! I am big fan of the Botanical Cleansing Oil, and Precious Oils Active Infusion, removes all the dirty stuff and leaves my skin feeling soft, not stripped.
I also love their SPF 30 Tinted Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Stick & SPF 30 Tinted Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Cream. Both give great coverage but light on the face!
what a great color match and ease to apply. don't let any clothing touch it though. it's clay on cloth really fast......so only use it on your face, not your chest.
It was an interesting sample of different textures. It felt refreshing and hydrating but I haven't noticed a major difference in my skin yet.
I received my order quickly and it was perfect. I am now enjoying all the yummy items. The tinted spf stick was an impulse try-buy, and it might be my fav of the bunch! The medium tint is a perfect match skin, coverage is great, and a dynamite size for on the go touch ups!
I love pairing the oil cleanser i purchased with a bar soap cleanser to make sure my skin gets a thorough cleanse. The biggest thing for me is ability to get refillable packages from Activist
