WOW

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.

Aromatherapy magic

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’m honestly shocked at how much I love oils

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

I love their products! They’re good for the skin and environmentally friendly.

Great products and company

I tried the trial kit first and loved how the products kept my skin clear and hydrated. I ordered the full size versions and still love them, and especially because it’s a female owned company that focuses on sustainability and ethical production! They unfortunately have had no effect on my hormonal acne but i still love the products.

I love everything about these products

I use multiple products from Activist and love them all. I started buying these to reduce plastic consumption, but they have been the most effective, enjoyable skin care products I have ever used.

The only Vitamin C that doesn’t irritate me

I was scared to try this because every vitamin C I tried in the past gave me skin flare ups. This one did not. I’ve been using it daily two weeks now and so far so good 👍 I’m looking forward to seeing what longer term results will be.

Smells delicious

I wasn’t sure if I really needed this first step, but it feels so luxurious and smells like delicious apples. I’m tempted to eat it sometimes (but I won’t) It’s a part of my routine now.

Very gentle and smells devine

I live in a hot dry climate, so my skin gets dry and sensitive very easily. This cleanser is the gentlest I’ve found, but still effective, and definitely moisturizing.

The only serum that has calmed my skin!

I’m not exaggerating when I say this serum has changed my life. It’s honestly the only serum I’ve found that both moisturizes and calms my skin at night. I’ve been trying to find a solution to my skin flare ups for years! I’m so glad I tried the sample kit and found this product. I definitely recommend those with skin flare ups try it!

Loving all of their products that I have tried!

So far I have loved every product of theirs I have tried. I honestly don't know which product I'm being asked to review, because I have been ordering and trying so many. I have spaced my orders out so as not to spend too much at once, which is another reason I don't know exactly what I'm reviewing. I can't say anything bad about anything I have received.

amazing as always

i love this toner and have used for 3+ years. fast shipping, easy refill, and amazing smell and calming feel.

Good so far!

After using the specific products recommended for my skin type, I have been pleased with the results. My skin has ceased to be dry, and softness prevails! I still have a good bit of the samples to try before I make a purchase.

Smells amazing!

I enjoyed using this in the trial kit, but ultimately preferred the blue cleanser, however, the Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm smells fantastic and does feel really good to the skin.

Love this!

I love that the products are eco friendly. I especially love that it appears to be reducing my dark spots. A bonus is how soft my skin is.

Hated it

The products did nothing for me and the smell was bad!! Just not for me.

A lovely product!

I bought the trial kit and this was my favorite cleanser. I found it to be effective, smell nice, and have a good texture. I also do really appreciate the color; it feels fun and cheerful to have such a blue cleanser and it's easy for me to see how much I'm using without my glasses, which is a nice bonus.

Easy to use

I like how easy it is to put on and the color match seems right. Need to use it more to see if it is effective.

Loving them so far!

My face has been softer, and I would swear that my dark spots have gotten lighter. Even my husband uses the face oil (step4) to moisturize. I especially love that it's good for the environment too. Thank you! I am slowly replacing the sample bottles with the full sizes. They're expensive compared to what I used to by, but worth it!

Gift card

I just received my trial & travel kit. I have not only used the products this morning so I can’t give a review up to this point. But, I noticed that you are giving a $25 gift card which I didn’t receive. I will give a review if the products once I have used them on a regular basis.

Hi Sandy, thank you for your review! I tried to find your order so that I could check on your gift card, but cannot find anything under this email address. Did you perhaps place it under a different email address or use your phone number instead? Please let me know so we can figure this out.

Many thanks,

Botanical Cleansing Oil

Every time I try a new Activist product I fall in love! My new obsession is the Botanical Cleansing Oil - it smells amazing and hydrates my skin beautifully. I actually look forward to washing my face, even at night when I am exhausted 💕

I love Activist's non-nano tinted sunscreens!

I was SO happy to find Activist's non-nano tinted sunscreens. I hope you continue to always be non-nano, since I avoid nanoparticles in my skincare products. I do wish there was a sunscreen color in between the Medium and Light colors. I'm very fair, but the Light color seems slightly lighter than what I need, whereas Medium is slightly darker - so I tend to switch over between these two. But overall, I'm very happy with this product. I also love that you avoid packaging this in plastic - thank you!!!

Makes pimples go away fast!

I got this product as part of the trial/travel size kit, and I originally thought I wasn't going to use the serums. But I decided to try it one night after popping a pimple (I know, I know!), and I was shocked when I woke up that the pimple wasn't red and even bigger than before. So I have continued to use the serum, and I will literally be purchasing it with the subscription once I finish this review!

Perfect, just perfect!

I got this product as part of the trial/travel size kit, and I love it so much. It absorbs quickly, makes my skin feel great, and it has a delightful scent that isn't overpowering. I have been looking for a skincare brand to replace my Loli Beauty products now that they have shut down, and Activist has proved to be even better than Loli both in product variety and sustainability.

Perfect for both travel and testing out products!

I am so glad I purchased this set! This is such a sustainable way to test out products, and I will be able to refill them for travel too! I've loved the products from it that I've used so far, so I'll be adding reviews to their individual pages as well.
