Within barely two months of opening the serum, it completely changed color from a pretty light purple to a murky brownish-grey, and it developed a really strange, sour smell. I stored it in my dark medicine cabinet, away from direct sunlight, so there’s no reason for it to spoil that fast.
I love the natural feel of these products and how gentle they are on my skin. The facial oils absorb surprisingly well.
Herbivore Botanicals products feel lightweight and leave my skin looking fresh and hydrated. The natural scents are subtle and very pleasant to use.
I’ve been using the lapis face oil for my combination, acne prone skin and it has been wonderful at calming down redness. It balances out my oily zones without clogging my pores or causing breakouts, which I always worry about with face oil.
Clean, aesthetic skincare that feels gentle. Some products work better than others.
The facial oil gave my skin a healthy glow without feeling too greasy.
Herbivore Botanicals products felt calming and enjoyable to use, especially the facial oils and masks. My skin looked healthier and more refreshed after consistent use, and I liked the more natural feel of the formulas overall.
Herbivore makes my routine feel so calming.
Brand is decent but not amazing. I didn’t like the smell
herbivore mask smells like spa vibes. i use it when stressed or breakouts coming. face feels soft after but dont expect miracle. one time i left lid open and it dried a bit ugh. still good stuff just handle carefully.
Love the Herbivore mask. My skin feels soft and clean. Natural smell and no irritation at all.
for some of the more targeted issues (deep acne scars, texture), Herbivore’s formulas weren’t strong enough compared to clinical-grade actives.
I’ll say it: Herbivore is overrated. Yeah, their glass bottles look aesthetic in your bathroom, but you’ll pay for unstable formulas that oxidize before you even finish ’em—thanks to zero preservatives
Soothing and smells so calming. My skin felt soft after use. The jar is beautiful, but I’d prefer a spatula for hygienic scooping.
Results/effects are not on long term. Feels sticky and heavy when applied.
The Pink Cloud moisturizer is light and lovely, and I adore the natural vibe of the brand. Some glass packaging feels delicate, but everything looks so pretty on my shelf.
Takes a long time to see results.
Feels sticky and never fully absorbs.
Smells amazing and feels gentle, but not every product gave long-term results.
This serum has helped lighten my acne scars. It’s not an overnight fix, but with patience and consistency, I started seeing a noticeable difference.
