I came across Earth Harbor in sets of its miniature trial sets at the store while trying to find a new serum for my skincare regimen. I looked at literally every other serum on the shelves, from pricepoints starting at $15 to exceeding $60. I noticed the first or second ingredient was almost always water. Like with lotions, having water at the top of ingredients is not a good sign. Ingredients listed in cosmetic products are in cascading order of predominance. With the other serums, after water was a list of common and widely available oils, additives, and synthetically derived thickeners, while the flashy ingredients they touted on their outside labels were at the near end of the list. If I'd wanted that, it would be easy enough to reproduce that at home in greater quantities and much lower cost by buying the raw ingredients. As I was getting frustrated, I took a closer look at the package of the trial sets from Earth Harbor on the shelf. I had initially considered them because I was looking for a full-sized product.

With Earth Harbors products, I immediately noticed the departure from the advertising gimmicks. A straightforward design and presentation with the list of ingredients speaking for themselves. With Celestine, hydra-plumbing peptide serum, pomegranate fruit juice extract was the first ingredient, followed by aloe vera leaf juice, then pomegranate seed oil--I was very happily surprised. I immediately took a picture of the set, and when I arrived home, I got online and ordered this serum.

I received the product this morning, and my expectations have been exceeded. The consistency was more substantial and not slick or overly oily and watery like other serums. The serum was absorbed quickly and had a lasting and noticeable difference in my facial skin texture. The smell was natural and pleasant.

True to the product's claims, this serum is hydrating and replenishing. I could feel the difference immediately, and now, nearing 10 pm, its use has made a tangible change in the level of moisture retention in my skin. I have already gone to their independent site and ordered several more of their skincare items. I came here first due to the fast shipping guarantee and immediate need.

As someone with sensitive skin, it was important to note this product was also soothing and helped reduce inflammation. The only thing I would change is listing the ingredients on the bottle--perhaps only because I've become so smitten. That is not something I'd ever seen with other serums have done, and I do enjoy its minimalist design

Im two weeks in and still loving this product! The product does contain alpha hydroxy acids which may increase your skins sensitivity to sunlight, so i just incease that spf.

Im really exited about this brand right now and the CLEAR COLLECTIVE collection is my fav. I have larger pores but my skin isnt really oily so its hard for me to find that happy-medium. This Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser has a jelly-tecture that i adore. It doesnt seep into my face scrubber like many others, giving me the indication that its not completely made if h2o! I prefer scented products but this one has the tiny scent if fresh lemon, to me. It actually cleans my face, doesnt leave it dried out and allows it to feel fresh with no residue.

Again, it is oil based so i wouldn’t exactly suggest it to people with oilier complexions. Also, you really have to make sure you only use a tiny amount. My first time using this, i put it on like a normal serum and my face was soooo oily.

I love the consistency! Its oil based so a very little goes a really long way. I put a tiny amount all over my face at night and in the morning my skin is absolutely moisturized-gorgeousness! The 24 karate effect gives my face a tawny glow and i dont even wear bb cream most days because of it. 

I just prefer a stronger scent. The scent also smelled a lot like baby-body wash.

I really like this brightening cleanser from Aveeno. I got it because i live in FLA and dont use as much spf as i should and I definitely get “sun spots” and i read some reviews from ithers saying that it helped with these. Ive been using now for over a month. I have a specific “spot” on my forhead that was most noticeable and i look at most often…well, i kinda forgot about it for a few weeks and was focused on a different skin concern but continued using this cleanser daily in my night routine…well, I remembered my “spot” while washing my face and to my surprise ITS GONE!! And, nothing else in any of my routines touches that area, so i have to believe that it is a reault if using this cleanser. HG!!!! I also love that it is super gentle, very light and not overly lathering. The scent is extremely light which i would prefer more of but its still ok. Definitely a keeper!

Nothing so far. It doesnt leave my skin feeling dry at all but i can see it ridding my skin of old layers and dirt….you must use spf because of this!!

So far, im really into this cleanser from Dr Song. Its made from 10% Glycolic Acid, which is exactly the ingredient used in facial peels which allow your skin to get rid of layers of old-dead skin. This cleanser is definitely doing this for me!!!
Also, I like the fresh/clean smell and the fact that it doesnt smell like “strawberry” or “mango” or some other chemicaly inhanced scent. It goes on smooth and doesnt have a super lather which i also love because then you know its not leaving a soap scum residue. It legitimately leaves my skin the cleanest ive ever felt it and i can see results each time i use it. It amazing!!
