That’d be great right? Well in taking those steps, I definitely recommend these amazing serums.

I started using the Snail Serum last night first and wow did I notice a difference.
The Snail Serum mainly targets dryness. I used this in place of my usual night time serum and boy did I notice a difference.
I N G R E D I E N T S :
All Serums contain:
✨Niacinamide
Bee Serum:
Bee Venom
Plant Based Stem Cells
Royal Epigen

I definitely will try the other serums in my routine as I get used to the Snail Serum but so far my skin is definitely happy.

HERBIVORE - Bakuchiol Anti-Aging Serum
I’ve already become a diehard Herbivore lover. So to receive this beauty was super exciting.
When I started my acne journey on Cherie I was (and still am) a Differin Acne Gel stan. This was my choice of retinol and I wanted it strong to treat acne and boost my cellular turnover. Now that my acne is currently under control and it’s getting hot again, I definitely want something smooth and gentle.
Bakuchiol is a gentler alternative to the very popular ingredient retinol. So essentially you’ll get overall youthful results for your skin. I haven’t tested this on my acne theory yet, but overall my face has been smooth and irritation free.
This serum does not have a smell which I love for products of this caliber. I also love that it’s light and not drying at all. I use this at night and since i have a tolerance to retinol I use it every night. I haven’t been using it long enough to see results (about 12 weeks) but I definitely can’t wait to finish this.
Have you tried Bakuchiol?

DISAPPOINTED BY THESE 100% NATURAL PRODUCTS 😩
I was so excited to try these out because I love moisturizers & I am always in search of a good one!
These looked & sounded very promising!
They’re from a woman owned company, completely natural, vegan, & cruelty free!
However, I was quite disappointed.
EARTH HARBOR - MERMAID MILK Nutrient Glow Moisturizer
This moisturizer claims to give you a glow right away & it contains spirulina + matcha. I was excited about the matcha because it has so many amazing benefits for skin. It has a very whipped consistency which I like. However it always contains essential oils that were strong, although not toooo strong for my liking. But I’m really just not a fan of essential oils in my face creams. The moisturizer did make my skin appear a little brighter but the cream just sat on my face. All day long I could touch my face & still feel the cream sitting there! I hate that feeling! It also almost gave me a greasy appearance after a while? Not a fan.
EARTH HARBOR - SIREN SILK Multi-Tasking Hydration Creme
This one was absolutely awful. If I could give it 0 stars I would. It says to use it at night time & the apply it at least 5 minutes before bed so it can absorb on your face & not your pillow. It contains Sea Retinol + other Superherbs which normally make me love a product! But that just wasn’t enough here. First, when I put it on my face my eyes started to actually burn & I felt suffocated from the scent. It was THAT strong. Guys, I’m not being dramatic at all. The smell like attacked me it was crazy! I have never had something like that happen with a face cream! I couldn’t believe how strong the fragrance was. & to top it off, it wasn’t even a pretty smell. My husband described it as smelling like floor cleaner. But I powered through. The longer I had it on, the more “used” to the smell I got. So, I wore it overnight. But then I woke up even more upset with it! I had pilling all over my face. It almost looked like my face was peeling but it wasn’t, it was jus the cream.
One thing I cannot stand about a moisturizer is pulling. That’s enough for me to throw it out!
It also didn’t really even moisturize my face that well!
All in all, I hated this experience. But if you want, you should try them out for yourself, don’t let my experience deter you from trying something new!
I however, will be sticking with my Youth To The People Dream Mask & Superfood Whipped Moisturizer!
Love those two!!
