  • love the blue lapis serum! i have struggled with acne for many years, and this is the only thing that has helped consistently calm my skin. i’ve tried a few other products as well, and they all feel great on the skin and are high quality.

  • I really like this serum. It feels instantly hydrating and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky. The texture is almost gloopy but I don't have an issue with it.

  • I've used several of the serums, moisturizers, and masks. Herbivore skincare is full of plant-based ingredients, has lovely, simple packaging, and pretty, colorful textures. It's vegan as well, for those who want that in their skin care. I am giving this a 2 out of 5 because while it was beautiful looking skincare, it didn't help my skin at all. Didn't give me a rash either, but was, all-in-all, less effective than plain water for me. I also found some of the products had an overly strong smell. Given the price point I need something more effective than water.

  • Big fan of this brand and its aesthetic, particularly the blue lapis oil that I used during a facial once.

    Can't really speak to the efficacy of its products over time, but they are certainly pretty and I'm keen to try its range of products!

  • I bought a set of mini face oils and they all became my favorites. The Phoenix and Orchid oils smell divine. The soap bars are excellent both for the face and body. And the Coco Rose body scrub is excellent too. Would definitely continue using their products.

  • Really wanted to love the products... I even bought the travelling set for my wedding trip to Hong Kong. They just didn't work. Didn't really improve my skin conditions. But they are pretty to the eyes.

  • I've used many of their products and they've all been great for my sensitive skin.

  • While pricey, these are truly quality and ethical products. They felt great on my skin, I especially love their oils! The only catch with being all natural is they do have a very limited shelf life. If you're not using the product daily, stick with the smaller sized options. The oils have lasted me a long time, but some of the face masks and lotions have separated, become discolored or gone bad before I could finish them - for the cost that's always a bummer.

  • Herbivore is part of my favorite time during my skincare routine, relaxing and sculpting massage. Their jade roller and rose quartz gua sha, are two of my go-to tools; I keep them in the fridge for an extra refreshing feeling. The Lapis blue tansy face oil it's also great for massage and specific for acne-prone skin.

  • I absolutely love this brand's products and values, as well as their aesthetic. The products look beautiful and deliver results while having clean ingredients. Downsides is they are wayyyyyy too expensive.

    Price- not accessible price point at all currently.

  • I think these products are little overrated unfortunately. I love the packaging of course, but I don't think the product itself stands up. The ones I've tried have left me feeling oily and worse off than before I put it on.

    Improve the formula! And maybe tone down the color of the product itself.

  • I bought a few of their products after seeing so many people rave about this brand. I love their branding, and the skincare itself feel luxurious. My favorite products to use are their Blue Tansy mask and Lapis face oil.

    This brand is on the pricy side, so I wouldn't make this my go to skincare brand because of that.

  • I really like their jasmine green tea toner. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soothed, and has a light, pleasant scent. I feel like it is helping to improve my pores without drying out my combination skin. It's one of the first toners in a while that I plan on repurchasing once I finish the bottle.

  • I love Herbivore! The products are really high quality and are offered at a price point that makes a lot of sense. Not to mention that the packaging of the products is amazing and they are a great clean beauty option! I love the Prism serum and mask!

  • I am a big fan of the prism AHA+BHA serum. It adds an instant plump and keeps my skin feeling smooth. I use it about once a week. The cloud jelly serum is another product I’ve found that I really enjoy. I have found another product that is about the same price with better results so I do not currently have it in my skin care routine.

  • OBSESSED with herbivore. I have super dry, reactive and sensitive skin and the Phoenix oil absolutely saved my life. I currently use their moon fruit serum, moon dew eye cream, pineapple face mask, coconut body scrub, coconut bath salts, jasmine body oil, pink cloud moisturizer (summer) and their cloud jelly serum. I can’t recommend this brand enough. Plus they’re completely clean and all of their bottles are glass.

    It’s pricey, make sure you sign up for their email list and purchase when it goes on sale! Stock up!

  • I don't use any of the face skincare, but think that the body products (especially the amethyst scrub) are incredible. They are definitely a splurge and not something that you can use all the time, but they make some very luxurious self-care products. I love the brand story and their approach.
