Reviews

This one is gonna b missed

"This one will be missed by many with sensitive skin"

— Kel (5/5)

Not for the acne-prone

"Broke me out badly in isolation. Has some questionable ingredients for the acne-prone."

— Hannah K. (1/5)

New Staple

"Just bought 2 more bottles of this - obsessed! Great texture and really helps prep my skin for a days worth of products/makeup/SPF."

— Sarah B. (5/5)

add to cart!!

"I am not even 100% sure what this does but I will buy whatever the outset tells me to. I have seen such a dramatic difference in my skin since using all of this and am so happy. (knock on wood)"

— emma (5/5)

Just ok so far

"Haven’t notice any difference yet but just started using it. The smell is not great"

— Lisa E. (4/5)

Love It!!!

"Love this prep serum. I use at night as the first step before a heavier moisturizer and my skin has never looked better."

— Mary W. (5/5)

Love this serum

"I love this brand and serum especially. I have normal skin, but always run into trouble on my T-zone (which is the only oily part), and a lot of serums make me break out or leave me feeling oily. But this one is perfect for anyone that has a skin type similar to mine. I'm on my second bottle and will probably buy a third one after!"

— Ariana T. (5/5)

Plumps and hydrates skin-- great as a primer.

"So I know topical/vegan collagen really doesn't work, BUT I think this serum-- for the price point-- is amazing as a makeup primer. It keeps my skin hydrated, plump, and personally I think it keeps my makeup on longer and gives it a lovely glow. The smell is really nice and I think it's totally worth it for someone who can't eat non-vegan collagen who wants to plump up their skin temporarily."

— Sophie (5/5)

This, combined with the squalane

"This, combined with the squalane daily moisturizer, is a game changer. My skin is smooth and fine lines disappear."

— Carrie G. (4/5)

So worth it

"Super delightful and a great addition to my routine. I bought the moisturizer last month and loved what it did for my skin. Now I added this serum once my Merit one finished and I adore it very much. It works well under makeup or even without. It gives you a nice hydration without it being greasy or heavy feeling"

— Laura E. (5/5)
