Great customer service

Unfortunately this set didn’t work for me, I had an allergic reaction but Allison was very kind to issue me a refund which was so nice of her, considering she didn’t have to do that. I suggest buying the tester size, it f you have super sensitive skin just to make sure the products work for you.

Not for me, broke out in rash

I was really hoping this would work for my acne prone skin. Love the glass bottles and the moisturizer smelled really nice. Don’t make the mistake I did and do a patch test on your arm before putting on your face. Also buy the tester sizes before going all out and buying the full set….like I did lol.

Thank you for trying Activist, and we're so sorry that you had an allergic reaction! For more info on skin patch tests, you can refer to this article: https://activistskincare.com/pages/skincare-safety

My Skin is clearing up so much

I tried this product about 1-1/2 ago originally when I saw it on tik tok. My skin cleared up and was loving the everything about this. I ended up forgetting to buy more then the samples and went back to cerava where my skin was so angry and no matter what was breaking out. I’m about 3 weeks in on this kit and my skin is almost completely cleared up. The only other thing I want to add on to my routine is a few more products from this company
