Just refilling my supplies. I adore 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.

I wish I could give half stars, because, while I have one complaint, overall I really like everything I purchased. The products seem to work really well and feel great. I’ve never tried an oil cleanser before and, at least so far, I’m sold on them. My one issue is overall not a big deal, just annoying. The pump top on the Botanical Cleansing Oil is a serious design flaw. It doesn’t pump easily and, when it does dispense, the oil gets everywhere - all over the bottle, my hands, etc. It seems like a waste of a good amount of the oil. Honestly, I’ll probably go back to using and refilling the trial size, because the eyedropper in that is significantly less annoying to deal with. I would love to see Activist come up with a new way to dispense the oil.
