  • Got this a while back via thingdrop but was testing other moisturizers at the time so only started testing this recently! The order came relatively quickly and came with a nice a handwritten note, which was a nice touch. The packaging was nice (minimal, sturdy, clean) though it took a bit of effort to slide the sleeve off. That struggle low-key made me question if I was qualified to use their product lol. Anyhow, I've been using this moisturizer for the past few weeks. I like that it's light and has a light cucumber scent that aligns with what I'd imagine it'd smell like at a spa (though I've never been so who knows if it's accurate).

    It'd be nice if the packaging was a tad looser so opening it could be effortless. While tearing it open was an option, the packaging felt too nice to ruin like that. For the container, I wish there were other top options beyond the pump. A full pump is too much for me, and I've also noticed some inconsistencies between pumps. For the lotion itself, I wish it had SPF in it, but otherwise, I'm happy with the moisturizer as-is.

  • First off, the outside packaging (the box) has a minimalist design that's quite lovely. I love the very light, cucumber-infused scent of the moisturizer--it smells and feels fresh and goes on smoothly. I also like the clean design of the bottle. Also, the shipping was free and fast.

    Feedback

    The bottle appears to be made of plastic. I don't know if the company will be able to avoid single-use plastic or update the packaging to be more eco-friendly in the future.

  • Refreshing cucumber-like scent. Product took some rubbing to absorb but once settled it leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft.

    Feedback

    I have very dry, eczema-prone skin so this one feels a bit too light for me. I'd prefer a stronger moisturizing formula. I imagine this would be good for oily skins though. Shipping was quite long (took over 2 weeks to arrive).

  • The moisturizer is a prefect lightweight yet luxe product. I was pleasantly surprised about the scent as it was stronger than I anticipated yet still subtle. It's one of the things that I look forward to when applying now. I tend to get milia with thicker moisturizers/lotions and am acne-prone and so far no issues with either. Looking forward to other products!

  • Incredible products. I was first captivated by the brand and packaging. The product itself is wonderful. I love the cleanser. With some gel cleansers, it doesn't really feel like it does anything. With this one, my face feels really clean while still cleaning gently. I love the moisturizer as well. Its a little bit pricy but it feels really hydrating. Will definitely continue using Margin.

  • I got the incense that they were selling and I've gotten so many compliments on the scent as well as the longevity.

    I really wish for the price point it was at, I'd be getting beyond 15 sticks. Other than that I really like the packaging.

  • A perfectly luxe and efficacious moisturizer. The packaging is simple yet elevated (both primary and secondary) are beautiful. When I use this product I feel like I am a rich bitch, so that is great. The smell is wonderful, spa-like. And finally, most importantly, the feeling of the product on your skin is so soft and silky. My first impression was that it reminded me of conditioner, but for your skin. I guess that is what moisturizer is anyway. The after-feeling is so smooth. I also love that the bottle is less than 3 ounces, I frequently travel with it easily accessible in my bag. Overall, 10/10 would recommend and I will purchase again!

  • I have not stopped using Margin. Everything about the product makes me feel like a million dollars. From the product experience when opening it to getting those first few drops in. The exact care product I've been looking to add to my routine. BRAVO!

  • Moisturizer is light weight and smells amazing. Cleanser is the best I’ve found on the market.

  • Woah, Canada. Lots of ink has been spilled on Margin's packaging + product design, so I'll only add that a moisturizer with a life-affirming scent and salicylic acid (which you figure is why it's popular with aesthetically-minded dudes), indeed, makes for a skin-renewing product.

    Hypothetically, would it be the case that they were subsumed into a faceless, soul-crushing mega-multinational holding company, I would still rock with Margin. Media ain't what it used to be, but in a "Top Shelf"-style editorial series, you would see a lot of Margin.

  • I love that a little goes a long way! The smell is so refreshing, and I enjoy how it drys. You feel the

    Subscription option! I would love a skincare kit with a cleanser and a face cloth.

  • I've been using this for a few weeks and I think it is too lightweight for my skin, it doesn't moisturize as much as I would like in a face cream. I think this would be suitable for someone with oily skin. Branding was lovely and the smell of the lotion was great.

    Feedback

    I prefer something richer. Also, the plastic packaging was a concern.

  • Absorbs super quickly and leaves skin semi-matte but perfectly moisturized. Beautiful packaging. Great light, almost imperceptible, scent.

    Would love a serum from them maybe?

  • This is the ideal moisturizer for combination or oily skin that needs a refreshing and light formula in the morning. I also think it works well for the body in areas that need a calming effect. The packaging was beyond beautiful, and I've loved their marketing emails. Excited to see what's next for this brand.

    Feedback

    This doesn't sit very well under my makeup, but I believe it's definitely more intended for the days you go without. I am not the biggest fan of fragrance in my skincare so I wonder if the light cucumber is from the ingredients or an additive. Would be good to know.

  • I've tried many moisturizers over the years... it's a constant battle of testing and learning. I love the lightweight, non-icky feel of the product, and the scent is not overpowering (a light cucumber vibe). The product feels higher-end and has the quality to match. MARGIN is fitting right into my routine as my new preferred moisturizer.

    Feedback

    Continuing to refine packaging and faster shipping times. Consider adding a SPF-based option so we don't have to mix and match.

  • The shipping was so fast! It's super lightweight and melts into your skin immediately. Has a light refreshing smell of cucumber.
