Review of True Botanicals

So, as a Commercial Photo Stylist I am ALWAYS looking at reviews.  I want to make sure when I am purchasing styling items for clients products, services ~ everything is throughly reviewed ~ so there started my "always look at the reviews" mantra.  (Literally, I'll look at 100 reviews for a lip pencil! lol!)  

But, THIS is my first written review on our Blog. True Botanicals. LOVE them!  True Botanicals is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year.  I have been using their products 8 of those 10 years. (I started TB in the summer of 2017) Here is a review of the 10 products I use, ~ 1 I won't live without and 2 that are, in my opinion . . . meh. (But, honestly I think it's probably just my obsession with wanting the total "soapy" foam, which I know I should not have to get my skin clean.)

FIRST, ABOUT THE COMPANY:

True Botanicals was founded by Hillary Peterson, whose cancer diagnosis led her on a truth-seeking mission to prove that products that prioritize the health of humans and the planet can be the most effective.

Guided by the world’s leading anti-aging scientists, green chemists and pioneers in sustainability, she founded True Botanicals ~ a company devoted to creating certified MADE SAFE® products that offer clinically proven performance for high-functioning skin, and are always good for you, the people you love and the planet.  Every ingredient and formula is certified MADE SAFE which eliminates the use of 15,000 toxic ingredients along with full traceability. Certified vegan, cruelty-free, and Microbiome-Friendly.  How great is that?

WHAT I USE

1. PURE RADIANCE OIL:

First, I LOVE most of the products, but the one I will never be out of is the Pure Radiance Oil. LOVE this product.  Having dry skin, I thought an oil may be good for my skin moisture ~ but I was still very concerned it would give me a "greasy, oily" look and feel. It does not!  It gives you a beautiful, bright, smooth skin.  It's wonderful.  Its the first product I ever tried of True Botanicals and remains my favorite after 8 years ~ the one I will not run out of.  It literally gives your skin a really smooth, "flawless" finish.

2.  BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM

As a contact wearer, I'm always concerned about eye cream.  Will it irritate my eyes?  This one does not.  As stated, it does erase fine lines while brightening up your under eye area.

3.  CHEBULA ACTIVE FACE SERUM

This serum does seem like the radiance oil texture, but it is thicker. It does make your skin smooth.  I use this at night and under my makeup in the day,

4.  CHEBULA EXTREME SKIN BARRIER CREAM

Ok, so True Botanicals has the most AMAZING Gift and Trial sizes!  The BEST! This is where I first tried the Chebula Cream.  It is like a thicker night cream that I use at night.  It is very moisturizing and it is a great addition to my nighttime skin care.

5.  NUTRIENT MIST RENEW

So, to be honest, this product I feel does not make a noticeable difference in my skin, BUT ~ I LOVE it for a quick refreshing "pick me up".  I keep it a little on the cold side and when I spray this on my face in the summer ~ it feels AMAZING.  It has a great sprayer ~ it's light, refreshing and have a nice fragrance to it! Works great with makeup ~ it does not ruin, run your makeup.  AND in the winter ~ SAME thing ~ it just gives you this refreshing spray of mist and moisture in the colder winter months of dry, indoor heat we have here in New England. It's a pick me up that's a great mist of energy!  So, again, while I don't see a direct, visual benefit to my skin, I continue to purchase this for the pick me up, refreshing FEEL it gives me!

6.  NOURISHING CLEANSER

When I first tried this, I knew it was a cleanser and I was not going to get that soapy foam that many of us have used.  It's not that.  I do like a foam ~ it make me FEEL like my skin is "squeaky clean".  But, should our face be "squeaky"?  So, it was not until years later that I purchased one of True Botanicals trial sized kits. (Again, truly, AMAZING kits.)  Kits always have a generous size trial for you to REALLY give it a great try to see if it's for you. So, great of them to do that!  It was not until I got that Kit, which had this product in it, that I decided to try it again.  I have a new appreciation for this cleanser now.  I now use it. (I have never done a "re-do", except for this.)

7.  VITAMIN C BOOSTER

This is a booster! It's a fine white powder.  I add this powder to my cream that I put on under my makeup.  It gives your skin a smooth texture. GREAT foundation to put on your makeup.  I use it about twice a week.

8.  AT HOME FACIALIST PEEL

This is the latest product I have been using.  I LOVE it.  I have sensitive, dry skin, so again ~ I know I need to be careful.  I "used at directed" and left on for 15 minutes.  It was perfect.  After, my skin was glowing and felt so clean, moisturized  and fresh. I'm using this product one day a week.

9.  CLEANING BALM

I'm always apprehensive of anything called "balm". But, again I love the product line so I tried this product.  This for me was too much of "vaseline" type of texture.  We all gravitate to different textures.  This one was just not for me.  (This is another thing I will say:  True Botanicals has GREAT customer service and relations.  They are immediate to any concern you have about their products.)  The cleansing balm was not a concern I had about being disruptive to my skin, more of a preference.)

10.  MOISTURE LOCK GLOSSY BALM

Now, this is "balm", but does not feel like a balm. When you first open the product, it looks like a balm, but once you give it a little "stir" is turns glossy and smooth.  It's a soothing lip treatment. I wore it at night as part of my nightly skincare routine.  This is the one I would say  . . . meh to.  Good product, put I like something with a thicker and more longer lasting since it's my night time product.  I started to use in daytime as a quick lip moisturizer. 
 

So,  being 8 years as a customer ~ I can say I LOVE these products!  It's really a great feeling to "find" your skincare that you love, can rely on and that makes a huge difference in your skin health.
