I first ordered the Calming Cream Cleanser and the Oat Barrier Moisturizer back in March, after reading the breakdown of their preservative systems on this site. My skin had been reacting to a popular "clean" brand that turned out to be anything but gentle once I checked the label myself. The switch was noticeable within two weeks, so when I ran out of both products, I did not hesitate to reorder.
What made this second purchase different was the consistency. The texture of the cleanser was exactly the same as the first tube, and the moisturizer absorbed at the same pace without leaving that faint sticky film some natural formulas have. I also appreciated that the packaging had not changed for the sake of a redesign, which happens more often than it should with smaller eco-certified lines.
One thing worth mentioning: the delivery took a day longer than the estimate, and the courier left the box at the side gate without a notification. Not a dealbreaker, but if you live in a shared building, you may want to request a specific drop-off point when you place your order. The products themselves arrived sealed and undamaged, with the usual batch number printed on the bottom of each jar.
After three months of daily use, my cheeks still flush less in the evenings, and the flaky patches around my nose have not returned. I have since added the Squalane Serum to my routine, and so far it layers well under the moisturizer without pilling. I plan to keep both in rotation through the hotter months, though I will likely switch to the lighter gel version of the moisturizer if the humidity stays this high.
For anyone with reactive skin who is tired of guessing which ingredient caused the last breakout, this brand is worth a closer look. The ingredient lists are short, the fragrance is barely there, and the products do what they claim without overpromising. I will update this review after the next restock, especially if the serum holds up through the rainy season.
