a must have in my daily routine!
I have become a devoted fan of the product.
I use it after I shower in the evenings. It doesn’t take allot and if by accident I use a bit too much it can be sticky. I just have to be mindful. I use it all over my face and neck. My skin has improved so much.

What's the opposite of healing? This is it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of The Healing Sap from Orveda was that it has lovely packaging. The glass bottle has nice weight to it and gives off a high-end feel. I also thought it was a nice touch that it came with its own cotton pads... until I tried to actually use them. They are useless & wholly unnecessary. The actual pads themselves are very thin, but that's not even the main issue. The aforementioned glass bottle is nice to look at, but functionally it's really hard to dispense any product, so trying to get enough product shaken out to soak an entire cotton pad takes FOREVER. And by the time you actually get the pad soaked, it's so flimsy that you can barely even swipe it across your face without it immediately rolling up into a soggy little wad. Next, the directions are super confusing. It says, "Use morning and evening, for 3 minutes (maximum) after the end of the cleansing routine and before a treatment routine. Once applied, complete with hand application and self-massage." What? Apply it for three minutes MAX and then... apply it some more by hand??? Whatever. After checking online to see if anyone else was having the same issues (spoiler: they were), I ended up ditching the pads and simply applied it with my fingertips. The texture is a little tacky to the touch, but it absorbs fairly quickly. My skin looked pretty nice after that first use, but it was all downhill from there. My skin started breaking out, first with one large pimple, then quickly joined by a few more ENORMOUS ones. I was hoping it was just a quick little purge, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. My continued use of the product seemed to only feed the pimple beasts more, and they nearly doubled in size with each passing day! Finally, I had to call it quits on this product for my skin's sake & for my own sanity. I don't know what "healing" was supposed to take place with this sap, but now these giant pimples are taking WEEKS to clear up & I'm having to "heal" from the utter distress using this product has caused.
TLDR: Directions are confusing. Cotton pads are useless. Glass bottle is nice, but product is hard to dispense. Skin looked good immediately after first use, but experienced major breakouts with continued use. 100% would NOT recommend.

It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, sensitive skin
I really like the Orveda The Prebiotic Emulsion. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and keeps my skin hydrated without feeling greasy. My skin looks calmer and more balanced. Perfect for sensitive skin since it's unscented.

Holy Grail
Man o man. I don't think it could get any better than The Vital Sap. My skin feels so hydrated and buttery soft. I live in the desert with all the dryness. This keeps my skin hydrated and pairs well under a serum and moisturizer. This lasts all day.

Hydrating essence
Orveda La Séve Primordiale - The Vital Sap
I loved the Orveda Eye Unveiler 422 (finished two jars!), so I decided to explore more from the brand. This Vital Sap has a thick, viscous texture. I use a tiny amount om AM and PM as the first step after cleansing to hydrate and brighten. A little goes a long way-this small jar should last me a couple of months.

Could not start my day without it!
This is such a wonderful fluid to go on freshly cleansed skin - it glides on and seems to plump and smooth as it goes. Great for the layers to follow - seems to help better absorption of serums, etc.
