  • I love the concept and the packaging was super cool.... but am I the only one a bit confused on how to apply the product? I tried the peptide tablets and followed the directions: fill up the bottle with water, place tablet in your hand, and put 6-8 drops on water on the tablet so it dissolves. What was left was a small puddle of liquid in the palm of my hand (not really a gel consistency...?) Then when I scooped the liquid off my palm and tried applying it, it wasn't enough for my entire face. Then a few minutes later I saw that I had some sort of residue on my skin - I guess I didn't add enough water??? Idk, I'm confused. I feel like the tablet dissolved in my hands before I had time to apply it to my face. Maybe there's a learning curve to using the tablets that I haven't mastered yet, so it'd hard for me to say if the product worked or not.

    Hi Jessica, thank you for sharing your experience! Please mix the product after dissolution before applying it :) It should solve the residue problem! You can also add more water if necessary, some of us like to use 10 (!). Regarding texture, our Peptides is on the more liquid side of the line. Retinoid is on the creamier side, Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide on the gel side. Hope this help!

  • Ok these are *cool*. Onélogy has been on my radar for a bit, but I wasn't convinced it was something I needed in my life, not to mention my embarrassingly extensive serum backlog, but when they're a Thingdrop, who could resist? These are *perfect* for a particular use case for me. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of travel again, and the worst thing for me as a dedicated one-bag, carry-on-only flier was fitting my skincare routine into that little bag that's allowed by TSA. These clever little tabs will allow me to bring *multiple* serums, and they are totally dry! I was really surprised by the texture of the serum doses, imagine a thin round of foam, like someone hole-punched a takeout container. With the addition of a couple of drops of water (*love* the little included bottle!!), it magically transforms into the perfect amount of thick serum. I haven't used them enough to vouch for efficacy, but I have no doubt that they'll preform well. Im sold. These things are perfect and I'll never travel without them.

    Thank you Amy!! We're so glad you like your Megadose serums <3 We're all about travel bag optimization ✌️ (we laughed a lot at "hole-punched takeout container FYI)

  • I do not have a ‘regular’ skin routine, so I was leery trying this product. But, it has fit nicely in my nighttime routine. I have tried 2 of the serums, one I am using on my eczema. So far, I am very pleased. My skin feels soft and moisturized. I look forward to seeing how the product is over the course of time. This product is innovative and easy to slide into any routine. The packaging is compact and easy to store, and I loved the touch of the personal message on the box. I must say, I wish there were more clear information about what each MegaDose targets. Maybe even more information on application, for newbie skin care users.

    Hi Karen, thank you for your kind words and we're so glad to hear it is helping with your eczema! Noted on the information feedback, we're actually working on this! 🙌

  • Edited review: Original impression: I actually like the individual freeze dried cubes. I had no problem mixing it with water in the palm of my hand. Feels good going on and I swear I saw a difference in my skin the next day. Bear in mind I had only been using moisturizer and no serums prior to this one. My acne went away with in a few days and my skin looks better. I am 53 years old and had recently been experiencing acne again for the first time since my teens. All that said I gave 4 stars because the price is quite high, when I look around for niacinimide elsewhere I can get it for less, but time will tell if the less expensive works as well and as fast as this did. It might be worth it. Revisited review: Like I said above, I had not used any serums before this one. Now I have. And I am sold on Onelogy. I noticed a big difference with Onelogy and no real difference with the other brand even though it was supposed to be more potent. It was your typical dropper serum- who knows how old on the shelf. This is where Onelogy shines. It is worth fiddling around with the tinfoil blister pack, the freeze dried cubes are fresh every time. I can feel the difference in my skin immediately after. It is more taught and the color is better. I now use the peptides and niacinimide one after the other. In the morning before makeup, which is minimal now because my skin looks good. The little bottle makes it easy to dose the same if you count the drops of water. I now subscribe to Onelogy and that saves a few dollars. I’m a believer now. 5 stars (was 4 due to price and fiddling with the foil).

    Thank you Britt!! Warms our heart to hear <3

  • I got this as part of a Thingdrop. I loved the idea of having travel-friendly skincare that only required water. I've used the 4 serums and actually saw a difference in my skin. I can see how the water part of the regime might turn people off because you don't know if you're using too much. 7 drops seemed low to me because it did not spread as much. For long trips, I def will explore repurchasing this again!

    Thank you Sebastian!! FYI you can absolutely use more water (our team goes up to 10 drops). As long as you spread the product on the same amount of skin surface (Face & neck area) you will get the same amount of actives on your skin! Hope this helps :) <3

  • I can't even tell you how awful my skin has become postpartum. I'm prone to redness, dry spots, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and this has been a godsend for me. I love how my face feels after applying; tight (but in a good way) and super smooth! Such an innovative product and perfect for travel. I will definitely be repurchasing!

  • Onélogy is an innovative skincare brand that offers skincare products, but they do things a bit differently than other brands. Their serums come in the formulas of tablets using their method called Megadose, and it gives an old apothecary look to the brand. When you want to use a serum, you take one of the tablets and put it in your hand, take the little bottle that comes in the package, fill it with water, put about 5 drops on the tablet in your palm, swirl with your finger, and apply. This method ensures that you're getting a serious dose of the actives in the skincare products. They're also a vegan and cruelty-free brand.

  • Love love love! This product is so easy to use! I absolutely love the Alpha Arbutin product. It has made such a difference with my hyperpigmentation spots! I feel so much more confident without makeup on where as before I would never leave the house! It has made a noticeable difference evening out my skin tone. I also tried the niacinamide which really helped control the oil and breakouts. My skin feels fabulous after application- super fresh and tight! I Love these products and I have tried so many other brands but none of them have worked as well as these!

    Feedback

    I really had an amazing experience with the product so I do not have any improvement suggestions.

  • I got the 4 pack during a thingdrop and have been using them for about 2 weeks now. I really love the travel friendliness of this product. It's so easy to pack and easy to use. I also like that you're not wasting any product. However I do like my face to stay wet while I layer my serums and this does dry up quickly, but I just spray my rose water mist to wet again. I'm not sure how effective these products are as I have only been using them for 2 weeks but I do like the peptides and retinol. Overall I would recommend this brand for anyone to try especially those who are into sustainability and innovation, and to those who travel a lot!

  • 10 out of 10, I LOVE this product! ❤️‍🔥 I was part of the consumer trial for Niacinamide 2%. Within the first two weeks I started to notice a difference in redness and my skin felt a lot less dry especially with my psoriasis. After using for a full month my skin was glowing and the redness and dryness was tamed. This product is also great for transitioning seasons, I usually experience increased dryness and redness when the seasons change and this product helped so much with that.

    Honestly it was incredible, it even helped during my cystic acne breakout during a cyst rupture!

  • I have a hard time reviewing this one. I am really saving it for travel so have only used once or twice. Didn't notice anything good or bad...sorry to not be more help!

  • Feels great on the skin, and really helps stay moisturized. The process of hydrating the pills is a little annoying and the pills + bottle makes storing these a little cumbersome. If you use these twice a day, a pack of 32 will last you 16 days, you'll end up spending $60/month which is VERY high compared to other options in the market.

    Thank you Yao! While you CAN use them twice a day, we recommend checking the other products you use for Niacinamide since the recommended daily dose from a dermatology stand point is 2-5% max! Using ours 2x per day is great if you have a very minimal routine :) hope it's helpful!!

  • Edited: I found a good use for these, I add one to a skincare product that does not have this ingredient, which is indeed useful. Original review:Interesting idea, but I would not purchase again. If this was a multi-active product perhaps... but 2% niacinamide is a staple ingredient in many of the skincare items I already use, so having a standalone is not something I need to purchase. Theres a whole lot of packaging (and shelf space) used by this product; the plastic "forever bottle" will last forever in a landfill but I'd rather just use a few drops of water from the faucet.

  • Like many of the other reviews say, I imagine that these would be best for travel. However, I find it way too inconvenient to use on the day-to-day, especially when each tablet is just a single skincare ingredient. I'd rather just have a single serum with everything that I need in it, and I'd like it ready-to-go in liquid form. I also find the application of the product to be awkward. I have to swirl around the tablet with water in the palm of my hand to create the liquified solution. Then, I kind of have to apply the product onto my face with my palm instead of my fingers to make sure I'm actually using all the product that was sitting in my palm. Very specific usage problem.... but it's what I found most frustrating. I think I'd revisit this brand if they ever come out with multi-ingredient tablets that work towards specific skin concerns.

    Hi Kela, Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear our current Megadoses weren't for you! Most active ingredients loose up to 50% potency in just 60 days once they are mixed in a water base solution (after 24h at room temperature for Peptides!!) so we created these pre-dosed tablets to deliver active ingredients at peak potency each use - unlike traditional liquid products :) All our products are formulated for sensitive skin so most of our serums (for now, stay tuned!) focus on single actives (like our Niacinamide 2%) or formulas with less than 10 ingredients, so you can truly create a tailored routine specific to your needs without worrying about potential allergens and sensitivities. Because our powerful actives remains fully bioavailable at application, they don't require unnecessary extras to help them up! Let us know if you have any questions 🥰

  • It's hard to tell if these are effective or not yet, but I do like them. The only problem I have is with the amount of wasteful packaging for a product that has the potential to be so much more sustainable. Individual tablets, in a pill pack, in a box, plus the plastic water dropper bottle just seems so excessive. The plastic bottle is not needed, as you can just use a few drops from the sink. I'd buy these if they came in a jar like Bite, but right now cannot justify the excess waste.

    Hi Lauren, thank you for your feedback! Our aluminum packs are fully & readily recyclable and only use 1.4g of materials (for 64 tablets/2months supply) while an empty bottle or pump weights 50g on average. Most products on the market come with a paper box (biodegradable and recyclable in our case) to protect it in transport and display mandatory product information. All-in we weight 22g for 64 tablets V.S 87g for a 30ml bottle. That's 75% saved in weight! Hope it's helpful!

  • I really appreciate the concept behind this product - I’ve had so many skincare bottles explode on the airplane, so these would be really great for travel. The tablets dissolve into a really nice gel formula, which felt high quality and was easy to spread. That being said, the tablets are $30 for 32, which is almost a dollar per use and strikes me as extremely expensive for a single ingredient product. There was also a lot of packaging, since the tablets come in individual foil packs. These might be nice for travel, since you can break them up and bring an exact dosage needed, but not super practical for everyday use. I could see the included bottle for water maybe being useful if you’re bringing these camping or on a road trip, but again, seems excessive for everyday. I’ll probably stash a few of these in my travel bag, but I don’t see myself switching to them for day to day use. Would be potentially more excited if they came out with a multi-active formula that hits more than just a single need.

  • The tech is very cool and I could see how they would be great for travel. In terms of every day, home use, I find them to have so much packaging and process involved that I'm not used to / don't have to deal with when it comes to my other products!

  • Definitely a great product for skincare enthusiasts. As someone who prefers the "all-in-one" approach in skincare, where I get all of the good ingredients in a single product, I'm not exactly sure this brand is for me, but Onelogy's customer service, branding, and overall experience is top notch.

    Thank you Max! Stay tuned for new products that might be just right for you 👀

  • These tablets are pretty cool! I like that they are small, light weight, and travel well. No more having to carry a bunch of travel size bottles to keep up with my skin care routine! The tablets are perfectly portioned for my face, and I like the sustainability of it all: it’s “the future”! I haven’t used it long enough to tell about its efficacy, but so far they feel very clean, and works pretty well with my sensitive skin.

  • These serum tablets are a great idea! I love the variety, and I really feel like I was getting my money’s worth and not wasting any product. These are great for travel too! I will say that the inclusion of the little bottle for water was confusing at first, because they included no explanation as to what the bottle is for. At first, I even thought it may be to dissolve the tablets in the bottle. I figured it out, but I wish there was some more explanation.
