THE FORMULA

Your skin’s advocate against redness, breakouts and irritation. This weightless clear skin serum calms stressed, reactive skin to support clarity and even tone.

Powered by niacinamide, MSM and a microdose of salicylic acid to interrupt the cycle of inflammation, refine pores, fade post-breakout marks and fortify your skin barrier.

Daily use helps your skin look and feel healthier, calmer and more in control. Plus, reducing inflammation over the long term slows the signs of aging, too.

Gentle and safe for all skin types, especially reactive, breakout-prone and redness-prone
Light, silky, fast-absorbing texture
Free of fragrance and essential oils
Skin-friendly pH 5.0-5.5

A powerfully calming formula to the rescue

Calming Force is a dual-benefit serum that soothes irritated, reactive skin while helping defend against premature aging.

We combined a powerfully soothing array of active ingredients that calm the root cause of both aging and acne: inflammation. The result is a surprisingly gentle yet highly effective formula perfect for daily use.

How to use

To get the best effectiveness from your serum, we recommend first misting clean skin with Healing Water Toning Mist. Skin is more receptive to active ingredients when it’s already moist and primed for absorption.

Next, dispense several drops of serum into your cupped fingertips, and apply by smoothing evenly onto all parts of the face and neck.

For best results, lock in the hydration by following this serum with Precious Oils Active Infusion.

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!

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
