These products saved my facial skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had tried a face cream with retinol, and my skin became red, irritated & itchy. I stopped using the cream, but the irritation was there for a couple of weeks. Nothing was helping to bring my skin back to normal, until I started using Milky Way exfoliating serum. I used the facial wash, serum and cream, and my skin was almost instantly back to normal. I am using all their facial products now, and I love them all!!

Worst product I've used in years!! BURNS!
Absolutely stunned- LOVED the prism mask and serum, even when my skin used to be severely sensitive and delicate, never an issue. Was beyond disappointed they discontinued the serum, but hoped this would live up to it- instead, instant burning, when my skin hasn't been sensitive to a single product in years!! I had to wash it off immediately, and could feel and see where it had been. HUGE downgrade!!!!

I cannot go without this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pretty sure I reviewed this before, but I absolutely had to come back and share. I decided to try a BHA exfoliant and completely messed up my skin... I had congestion and closed comedones for months. I had to stop using everything and just use a cleanser and moisturizer, got things to calm down, but I still had tiny oil filled bumps/closed comedones and small whiteheads on the surface for months... not even azelaic acid could get rid of them. I did some research and realized my skin and pores love glycolic acid. This formula is so gentle (sometimes you’ll get a tingle) but it’s so hydrating also. It cleared and flattened everything overnight. I should have never strayed from my herbivore products. I just need to make sure I use this 2-3 times a week and my skin is golden. If your skin does well with glycolic acid or if your skin sounds similar to mine, you will absolutely love this product!!

Fantastic for Reducing Pores
Wow. I rediscovered this product after taking a break to try other serums in the Herbivore line. The difference it makes in my skin is AMAZING. I suffer from large pores on my cheeks next to my nose and this has reduced them SOOO much. Like it’s literally a miracle. It also does not irritate my sensitive skin in the process. PLEASE do not discontinue this product. I’ve never tried anything like it.

Holy Grail
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my holy grail. It is the gentlest way to exfoliate the skin. In the morning I wake up with soft, glass skin. I apply lapis oil after I let this serum soak into the skin. Please never stop selling this product!

It truly smoothened my skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have super reactive skin. The first few times when the serum was applied, my skin felt tingled a lot with mild redness but no rash. After that, the tingling is much lessened. No redness any more.
