It is a primer that can be used on your eyes, face, and lips! It feels soft, pillowy, and blends like a dream on your skin!
It makes prepping the skin before makeup easy. However, if you have dry patches due to eczema, etc, I would definitely recommend moisturizing the heck out of your skin before using this because eczema patches are a whole other rodeo in comparison to just general dryness. My eczema tends to flare up a lot more in the winter and during the seasonal transition periods, so likely this primer would work best for me in the summer or spring months!
Also worth nothing, this primer is ever so slightly fragranced, but no more than a lingering scent, and it is free of synthetic fragrances!

I've been using the Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream all week. Winter is always hard on my skin because I have dry skin eczema and live in an ultra dry climate.
This cream has semi-whipped consistency, and while thick, it spreads and absorbs into the skin quite nicely. It does leave a nice layer on the skin to keep it hydrated without leaving it feeling sticky or tacky. That being said, I feel like if you have oily or acne prone skin, this might be a bit much!
The triple lipid complex is meant to restore the skins natural lipids and fatty acids. And the peptide blends helps to protect and support the skin's natural barrier. This product is vegan, cruelty free, and also gluten free, if that is a concern for you. And also does not contain any synthetic fragrance which is important to me in skincare!

This formula is hypoallergenic and felt rather gentle. My daughter's skin felt soft and hydrated after using this wash. I love that this formula is tear free because when you have a infant that is quickly developing into an assertive and independent toddler, bath time inevitably results in some splashing and water in the eyes.
I can't really comment on whether this wash actually enabled my daughter to sleep better because honesty, my daughter has been a great sleeper ever since she hit 12 weeks, and generally, sleeps well unless she's teething but those nights usually pass relatively quickly.
The only thing I'm not so keen on is that is a bit more fragranced than I would like. I would honestly love if this product were fragrance free because fragrance is a very vague ingredient that can inclide a host of chemicals, and I don't think fragrance in baby products are really necessary.

I will preface my review with the note that my daughter has sensitive, eczema prone skin, so we generally stick to very gentle and fragrance free products! We only bath about every other day to keep her skin from drying out because we also live in a dry climate!
I loved that both these products are ultra mild and gentle. I also appreciated that they don't contain parabens, phthalates, sulfates or dyes because no one needs to explore their kids to more chemicals and harmful ingredients than necessary. I only use a very small dollop of wash every bath time, so this body wash will last use for a very long time, but that's perfect!
The one drawback to both these products is they both contain fragrance. We stick to fragrance free skincare products in our house because they trigger things like eczema, as well fragrance is a vague term that can include a number of unknown ingredients and/or chemicals.

I don't know about you, but I get dry during the night. Maybe it's just the dryness in Alberta or maybe my skin is just dry, but I apply all the lip balm, moisturizer, and even have a glass of water before sleeping and I still wake up feeling dehydrated! The Lip Mask in Grapefruit is perfect for keeping ultra dry, chapped lips, either or, hydrated. It isn't thick or tacky, just thin layer that you barely even feel on your lips that helps you lock in the moisture. -

I have dry, borderline dehydrated skin and live in an ultra dry climate, so hydrating moisturizers are a necessity in the winter, or really year round. I wasn't sure what to expect with the Water Bank Moisture Cream but I actually enjoyed this moisturizer. I use this in the evenings before bed and generally, when I wake up in the morning, my skin is still hydrated. This cream is not thick and feels super lightweight, which is perfect because no one likes going to bed with a heavy greasy mess on their face or wake up with greasy pillowcases. -

The Lip Glowy Balm has the feeling of a gloss without the sticky tackiness and the emollience of a balm, so I feel like this balm is a happy medium between the two. It gives off a very slight tint, but dependent on the pigmentation of your lips. I also love that this balm does not have the sickeningly sweet flavoring. It is lightly scented like berry, however, not so much that you can take take fragrance. It is a more of a glamorous lipbalm. Personally, this balm is a bit on the pricy end of things, so it's more of a treat yourself, special occasion type balm than one that I can see myself regularly going through as an essential. -

The first time I tried this product, I wasn't really sure what to make of it, as the texture of this balm is quite unique. It is a fatty gel-like consistency , but a gel with a higher viscosity. I have come to appreciate the texture and consistency of this balm, as it does appear to give a gloss-like finish on the lips; however, it's more emollient and has a longer staying power than a gloss as well. It absorbed pretty quickly on the lips, so that also reduces keeps the product transfer to a minimum. I find that with this balm, I am not constantly reapplying all days, which is nice because I go through a lot less product as well as a resulting!
I appreciate that it doesn't have a flavour and while this balm is supposedly fragranced with Malin + Goetz signature fragrance, I didn't really get that. I didn't detect much fragrance, but that's fine with me because no one likes to taste fragrance in their lip products.
Overall, I would repurchase this! I generally stick to more cost effective drugstore lip balms, but given that this balm doesn't require me reapplying 2 times in an hour, in the end, this may be the more cost effective balm!

This body cleanser is suitable for all skin types, and contains ingredients meant to soothe, keep the skin moisturized, and effectively clean without stripping the body's natural oils. The scent is really almond-y and reminds me of the Chinese almond jelly dessert!
But past that, it really functioned like any other body wash/shower gel, so I'm not really sure if it's worth the splurge. I love their shampoo and conditioner, but for body cleanser, I think you can stick to something more cost effective and spend that money on their skincare instead!

I'm always on the hunt for great products to keep my skin hydrated because combo skin that errs on the side of dry living in a dry climate in the middle of winter = needing all the hydration, I can get. The rejuvenating serum feels lightweight cool when applied to the skin. It is meant for dry and combination skin. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, and firmness in the skin. I'm still a bit on the side of preventative maintenance, but you can never been too early. Again, this product does smell quick herby and earthy, so it may not be to everyone's taste. However, I will say after application, the scent doesn't linger much at all! -
