On the negative side it's sticky, despite claiming otherwise. And it doesn't last, which is unfortunate. The gloss lasts a decent amount of time for a lipgloss, but you will need to reapply which doesn't help with the stickiness.

I really wanted to try this because as someone who suffers from sensitive skin and eczema it is nice to see a skincare line made for me and my skin, and if you follow my feed you know finding lip products that don't irritate my lips is super hard. This lip jelly has the shine of a gloss, hydration of a balm, and has a touch of color. It has:

💋 Apricot kernel oil - nurtures and soothes lips
💋 Raspberry seed oil - protection from free radicals and environmental aggressors
💋 Rosehip seed oil - has vitamins A and E which promote cell repair/regeneration
💋 Credo beauty and @sephora standard clean, vegan, cruelty free and gluten free

I wouldn't have picked the red, but I'm actually super happy with it because the colors are sheer so you can really see it, gorgeous red but not overwhelming. This applicator isn't super long, which I appreciate, and the gloss goes on smooth and sheer as promised. This is the first lipgloss I've tried that's actually hydrating! It's $14 for a gorgeous clear container which is sturdy and a clean design, and while not drugstore inexpensive this is still a great price. If you have really sensitive skin and lips like I do and don't mind the stickiness then I would purchase this.

This can be greasy, though I used it on my knuckles and between my fingers where my skin tends to crack in the winter and it did eventually absorb.
The price is expensive at $38 for only 1oz and is the main reason for the loss of one star.

 I got a deluxe sample of this in a kit from earth harbor. I love that the brand is green, and this product is packed full of vitamins from sea fruit. It has vitamins A, C, E and K. It also has amino acids and other great things for your skin! This felt a little greasy for my face, which can get oily, so I used it on rough patches on my skin and it was super healing, plus I felt like the more days I used it the more my skin healed. I'm not normally a fragrance person, but this has a light fruit scent which smells really good!

I got this as a This is very slightly less expensive than T.L.C framboos at $82 for 1oz, and I only use a very small amount 3 times a week, but since I already splurge on the other (when I have a percentage off) I can't afford this regularly.

This exfoliating serum improves skin's texture, tone, elasticity and radiance by targeting fine lines, wrinkles, dullness and uneven texture. It has:
🐘 10% lactic acid: a milder alpha hydroxy acid, exfoliates top layers of skin
🐘 Signal peptide complex: 11 peptides bond moisture to skin, plumping, firming and restoring bounce
🐘 2021 @allure best of beauty winner, clean, vegan, cruelty free

It's a little cloudy and doesn't have a fragrance, and it absorbs fully without pilling. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin but I'm used to stronger acids. Always patch test and start slow. I found this to be a good exfoliator and I usually use T.L.C framboos glycolic resurfacing night serum which has the stronger glycolic acid and BHA salicylic acid. But I need something milder in the winter and this fit the bill!

unfortunately it's just not my favorite spot treatment because it doesn't work as well as I'd like. I started using this over moisturizer and it only made a small difference, so I used it as you normally would before moisturizer and it didn't irritate my skin, but the change in the size and healing time was minimal.

kinship pimple potion + salicylic acid acne treatment - ⭐⭐⭐ ½

his is my first kinship product, I have three others and I got a sample kit for my sister, and I've been wanting to try this clean brand forever! This product is clean, meets the much stricter EU banned list, it is certified cruelty free, and the tube is 30% PCR and is recyclable. This is a benzoyl peroxide free (what I was looking for my skin doesn't like it) spot treatment or an all over treatment that reduces blackheads, white heads, smooths skin, irritation free and blends seamlessly.
It has:
💙 Retinol: vitamin A, improves skin's texture by increasing cells turnover
💙 Bakuchiol: plant retinol alternative, brightens and clears skin
💙 Salicylic acid (2%): BHA, clears blackheads/pores, prevents breakouts
💙 Kinbiome: kinship's proprietary plant based probiotic that supports a strong skin barrier, glowing skin

This is a tall skinny tube. The product is yellow and I don't remember it having much of a scent, if it did it fades quickly. I didn't use this all over, I used it as a spot treatment. As promised this was non-irritating, and I've had trouble with acids mixed with retinol before which is why I didn't use it all over, but I do regularly use retinol and a BHA separately so keep that in mind. This also does absorb fully and doesn't pill under makeup. At $19 for 0.53oz, this is a great price for a spot treatment

The only negatives is the strong tea tree smell, but I don't mind it and it does fade. The other thing is products can stop working on my breakouts once I get used to them, but this is an ampule, basically a stronger serum, and is only supposed to be used occasionally, like now when my skin's freaking out, so that should help with that. Plus I keep a rotation for that reason and this is definitely going in it!

Thanks to common labs and @gopicky for the chance to try this amazing ampule! This was gifted to me, but it has in no way affected my review. It's not unusual for me to get some hormonal breakouts on my jawline when it's warmer, but I was having terrible breakouts and my skin is too dry to tolerate much right now so this came at the perfect time. This is a beautiful green and comes with a dropper. It has a strong tea tree scent, stronger than the moisturizer, but it does eventually fade. This absorbs well, isn't sticky and isn't drying or irritating. It has:
🌲 72% tea tree leaf extract - to help control oil and heal/prevent breakouts
🌲 Vitamin E and alantoin - skin soothing
🌲 Madecassoside - skin healing
🌲 Citron - vitamin C, an antioxidant good for brightening and fading dark spots
🌲 Sweet Wormwood (Mugwart) - soothing, anti-inflammatory, helps with redness (named k-beauty product of 2020)
🌲 Pine Needles - anti-inflammatory, good for treatment and prevention of acne and redness

My skin isn't tolerating benzoyl peroxide right now and it's kinda used to salicylic acid, plus it's dry so I was at a loss of what to do until this showed up! I have gone super gentle, because I'm not sure what caused the bad breakouts, and have been washing my face twice a day with CeraVe foaming cleanser. Then I pat this into my problem areas, or use pimple patches at night, and follow with Augustinus Bader the rich cream. As my skin started healing I added vitamin B or C to the cream to help with post scarring. This dried out the breakouts without drying out my skin! It was slower, I got 2 more pimples before it calmed, but it did calm and helped with the redness. This is only $20, but it's considerably on sale at the brand's website or stylevana. Almost a week later and skin looks much better, would repurchase myself!
