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 sensitive skin and it DID NOT like this product. I always introduce new products very slowly (about a 3 week process) and within a week of introduction, my skin started breaking out. The product felt heavy and a bit greasy. I so wish I would have had a different experience because I love what the company stands for, but this just did not work for me. I’ve now got a nearly full bottle of product I can’t use.
Approved by apps that scan products for healthfulness and earth friendliness (Bobby Approved, Yuka). A little goes a long way. I find it great for my face and it works well with my regular makeup regimen. I use it like a foundation, but I’m no makeup expert. But it works great for me! It’s not as good for whole body but it’s a very good product and I will reorder. I’d like it better if I got more for my money, BUT I appreciate the pure ingredients and the price is comparable to foundations with sun protection. Yes, I recommend this product. I haven’t had a sunburn and I was swimming in the ocean for five days in the middle of the summer.
These products feel like such a special treat… a pampering for hard working skin! Having refills means a lot to me and to my desire to do better in terms of reducing carbon footprint due to less shipping weight too. Brava!
Very reasonable starter kit, that has lasted at least a month. Definitely considering adding some of these to my routine
Using the Mist, vitamin c serum, botanical oils and the seaweed face wash. Love them all!!
I loved this trial kit. It let me try a few different cleansers and the serums before deciding if I like them. Really happy overall and started a face care subscription. The face oil smells wonderful and is very hydrating. I have very sensitive skin and had no issues with these products.
I was really excited to try this brand because I love the move towards sustainability and refilling products instead of plastic waste. Unfortunately, my skin didn’t love the products I tried. I broke out in places I don’t usually break out. I’m no stranger to hormonal acne on my jaw line. But I got some acne and cystic bumps on my cheeks while using the trial kit. Overall I think it’s a great brand with a great mission, just not for my skin.
Not usable on oily facial skin. Stays on top and peels. Still great for the body and highly recommend for that.
I've been using Activist Skincare products for a few years now and I looooove all their products! I also love that their 4-step method is not complicated and not taking so much time of my day, and it's low-waste!
I’m happy with everything about my subscriptions- the product quality, shipping, eco-friendliness, and customer service-all are amazing.
I am hooked on the botanical cleaning oil! I have oily, acne prone skin. I have tried face oils before and they caused breakouts. This oil has made my skin cleaner and softer.
Fantastic cleanser, and so nice on the skin.
I find that I need to use a little bit more of this gel than I would for a balm cleanser. But it feels really nourishing on the skin and even after you pat your face dry your skin will feel fresh.
If you have dry skin, or are super acne prone and need something gentle—this is definitely the cleanser for you.
The sent is very subtle and dissipates almost immediately. I use it usually for my first cleanse to remove make up and SPF.
Bonus points that activist Skincare has made this cleanser refillable. I also have the refill pack, and it takes up the tiniest amount of space in my “restock” shelf. Love this concept and love this brand!
I love this travel kit. Everything is perfectly sized and you get plenty to try out.
On a recent 3-day trip I barely made a dent in any of the bottles. The tins contain quite a bit of product too. And I can always refill this for travel again if I need to.
Great concept!! also, if you haven’t tried activist Skincare yet. This is a great way to be introduced. Personally, I love their serums and the sea skin cleanser, and the SPF stick was shockingly good. It’s become my go to.
Fantastic quality! I love vitamin C serums. And this one has been perfect for my combination skin. It goes on with a slight slippery feel and sink into the skin with absolutely zero greasiness. It feels hydrating too. This is the perfect formula for my skin in the summertime. And I love that it’s a refillable bottle! And I already have a refill ready to go for when I do need it.
Smells and feels divine! My skin is glowing.
(Make sure you have a little water moisture on your face before applying)
Love it! Makes my skin feel so soft and supple. I have been using for 3 months and my "crepe" looking skin has improved.
I have been using this oil for about 4 weeks and so far I love it! I have oily, acne prone skin and other face cleansing oils make me breakout. I got a sample of this face oil and almost threw it away because of my previous bad luck with other lines. I guess I was feeling risky because I decided to try it and I love it! After using the sample for 2 weeks I bought the full size bottle.
Really enjoyed all the products, outside of the spray bottle which didn't quite work. I love that it's refillable and was shocked at which products I preferred which is why I'm glad there's a trial kit!
Feels absolutely amazing on the skin without being too heavy. It absorbs well into the skin and was surprised I didn't need a moisturizer!
