This was my favorite (of several gems) from the sample pack that first introduced me to Activist. It’s light but serious about providing long-lasting moisture without feeling greasy, and the natural fragrance of it makes it feel like self care. I love it. I ordered some samples to share with friends and they’ve now become ordering customers and fans too! My only bummer is that if I’m not careful, I cut my fingers—multiple times now, I’m embarrassed to admit—on the metal edge of the screw-on top trying to open it for application. It’s pretty but sharp!
Activist skincare products are gentle and nourishing to my skin.... And they are gentle on the earth! Total win!
I was expecting to receive in mid Feb but I think the parcel arrived much earlier than expected . Big thanks
I use the oil after my moisturizer and it keeps my naturally dry skin type feeling soft all day. Because I only have to use 2-3 dogs per day, I feel like the price is worth it. Good quality and cool branding.
It was great to test out the products! I love vitamin C and the Acne serum!
I never write reviews, but this company is truly amazing. I purchased this foundation/sunscreen stick and it's just the BEST—it's in a completely biodegradable package (no plastic!) and that's the only make-up I've ever found that doesn't use plastic packaging. On top of that, it's easy to use and looks great on my skin! I stopped using a concealer because it does both. I think it's actually helping to moisturize my skin, too, because I've noticed my skin is a lot softer. It even glows a bit after I put it on. I highly recommend this product and this company! <3 <3 <3
LOVE this serum! keeps my KP at bay and helps to calm cystic breakouts. doesn't make my skin oily and plays nicely with my moisturizer. will refill this one!
Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum refill
My refill package arrived damaged from the post office. When I contacted Activist, I got a response very quickly and my replacement product was on its way to me. I received the replacement in less than 5 days! The customer service was awesome!!
I recently ordered the sea to skin cleansing gel, botanical cleansing oil (using at night because I have a CPAP), healing water toning mist, active hydration serum, and precious oils active infusion. I use the four step process with sea to skin in the morning and just the botanical cleansing oil at night so I don’t mess with the seal on my CPAP nose cushion. I am loving it! My skin feels so soft and firm! I am glad that I tried the trial first, sine I felt comfortable doing the subscription. I am very glad to have a sustainable skincare routine!
This is the only face oil I’ve used that actually absorbs into my skin. I spray my face with a rosewater mist and then apply 2-3 drops of oil while my face is still very damp. It makes the oil easy to spread and helps it to soak into the skin. It also smells really good. I’m very happy it does not contain essential oils. So far my skin has been looking really good since using it and it hasn’t led to any more breakouts than I typically get. I’m very happy with my purchase :)
My skin can’t tolerate a lot of products sadly, but I have had really good luck with this serum. I started with the trial size and now I’m using the full size. It is very hydrating and soothing. It’s helps calm skin irritation and redness and has really helped me to manage my mild acne and the inflammation that comes along with it. I love the consistency and how easily it spreads on top of a face mist. I use a rosewater face mist from Cocokind that pairs really well with it. I use the Precious Oils Active Infusion (also LOVE) on top, and my skin always looks and feels so nice afterwards. I am super grateful for such a wonderful product from a company I feel great supporting.
These products gave been amazing for my skin and the environment! Can’t recommend them highly enough.
Smells Devine & feels so good! I love ❤️ your zero waste activist commitment!!!
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.
This is a wonderful trial set. Unfortunately I immediately fumbled and fully spilled the serum I was most looking forward to trying (Calming Force). Handle these little bottles with care! I wish they were slightly bigger for ease of use, even if it came with same amount of product. Otherwise a great set.
I am absolutely loving the feel, and look, of my skin. I've been using the cleansing oil and gel, the healing water spritz, the Vit C oil and the precious oil for about a month now. I also love that I can refill my glass bottles without creating much waste; I intend to use the Activist Skincare empty refill bag return program, and I feel great about that. Thanks a mil!
The SPF stick works great on my skin! Light weight, easy to apply.
This is the only tinted sunscreen I’ve found that has clean ingredients and is suitable for my central Asian skin color
I have been looking for more sustainable skin care products, and I found Activist through an Internet search. I loved the idea of a trial/travel kit, so I bought it. I tried it out on some recent travels, and I loved the way that my skin felt. I was able to try the different products and combinations of them, figuring out what will work best for me long term. I plan to switch to Activist when my current skincare products run out.
I love Activist skincare as I know it is well made and a great organization. I got their trial skincare package and am loving everything in it!! The oils are so great to keep me skin healthy during these colder months. Thank you!!
I looked up and down for a product that is better for my health and healthier for my skin. I love that it doesn’t dry like foundation and it helps my skin look healthy and dewey. I haven’t broken out and my skin is sensitive, so I am very happy about that. I wish pricing was affordable so I could purchase other products, but it’s on the pricier side, but it’s expected probably because of the healthier ingredients. As of now I love the sunscreen.
