What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Three Ships

Laura and Connie started Three Ships in 2017 from a humble apartment kitchen and only $4,000. We were frustrated with the state of the beauty industry - overpriced products, green-washing, misleading claims and millions of tons of plastic waste created every year. We knew there had to be a better way, so we set out to create the world’s most transparent, effective, and sustainable natural skincare. We believe you don’t need a fortune or a 12-step skincare routine to have happy, healthy skin. So all of our award-winning products are under $40 USD, certified cruelty-free and vegan, made with 100% natural ingredients, and formulated by world-class chemists that solve real customer skin problems. Our products prove that great discoveries can be made with limited resources, and that a convoy of complicated products isn’t necessary when you use naturally-effective ones.

Reviews

Hydration, pore size reduction, less oil

"After trying this product for 4 weeks, I will definitely continue this vs my other creams as this product fits well with my skin type. I deal with oily skin and acne challenges and this product has definitely benefitted my skin for the better with less shine and pore appearance has diminished. I will continue using the product and can't wait to see what the long term results look like!"

Kaitlyn A. (4/5)

Don’t use gel cream but I will consider changing over to gel.

"Overall the gel cream did make my skin more matte and definitely less oily/shiny. It was light weight and felt nice on my skin. No irritations or breakouts. I was hoping that it would help reduce my pores but it didn’t really make a visual difference although my skin does feel more smooth. I’ll continue to use the product in the hopes that I will see a more noticeable difference."

Ginny C. (3/5)

Gentle scent ( clean/fresh ) texture and weight

"I really liked the product just felt I started getting the lines back on my upper lip. My skin was well hydrated previously to the launch and was hoping the light weight of the gel moisturizer would be better for the oil on my nose and forehead. I do wear glasses and felt my a glasses actually had more greasy build up in the center requiring me to wash them more often. I loved the gentle scent and the texture of this product but was hoping for different results."

Vicki H. (4/5)

Moisturizing; liked the smell (wasn't too strong); liked the consistency for night time

"Overall, I’m really impressed! It has a creamy, yogurt-like gel consistency that is a little too heavy for my daytime routine, but perfect as a nighttime moisturizer. My skin felt consistently hydrated and comfortable without feeling greasy. As someone with oily skin, it didn't reduce my natural shine, but it didn't make it worse either. It's a great evening moisturizer for oily and combination skin types who want solid hydration without added oiliness. It smells great, too!"

Emily H. (5/5)

Smooth, silky texture that spreads easily and requires only a small amount of product. Instant hydration, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and soft right away. Gentle on the skin, with no irritation experienced during use.

"The cream has a light, pleasant scent and a very smooth, silky texture, which makes it easy to apply without needing to use a lot of product. It leaves my skin feeling instantly moisturized, soft, and smooth, and I did not experience any irritation while using it. One thing I noticed is that if too much product is applied and rubbed in, it dries quickly and can begin to pill or peel on the skin. Overall, I found it to be lightweight, hydrating, and comfortable to wear."

Melissa T. (4/5)

I like the way it absorbs into the skin, less shiny especially in the tzone areas and I got compliments at work that my skin looked good and healthy

"1st impression- goes on thick so definitely will apply less to cover face moving fwd - not sticky - smells good (not perfumy or too much) - once you put on face it absorbs quickly - the product is natural as advertised because I have sensitive skin and I will have a reaction if the product is too chemically infused"

Tamara C. (4/5)

I had awful breakouts due to testing a fad moisturizer which promised to reduce pores. Within a week my breakouts had gone done and after 2 weeks I did see a reduction in pores! Its also nice and light, my face did not feel greasy.

"I am approaching middle aged and had been facing teenage-like breakouts for a few months. This product came at the right time. By just switching my original moisturizer (which is probably designed for fresh 20-something skin), and adding this gel to my routine, my skin started to heal within a couple weeks. My original concerns of pores also saw a reduction as well! I will keep this in my routine - especially in warmer months because it is so light and soaks in wonderfully"

Deanne K. (4/5)

Absorbed well. Lightweight feeling. Hydrating

"Has a really nice texture and absorbed well. Skin felt well hydrated. I look forward to seeing how it works in the winter months when my skin tends to be drier! Using it after a serum at night felt like a bit too much product, almost thick feeling, but my skin the morning looked and felt well hydrated!"

Keri-Amanda M. (4/5)

lightweight, absorbs quickly, less shiny

"I typically have oily skin, and by midmorning I am reaching for oil blotting paper. I definitely noticed less oiliness/shiny skin with this product. The only part of my face that is still a bit shiny is my nose, which is minor, compared to my whole face. The product is lightweight, doesn't feel greasy, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling nice and fresh. Would absolutely recommend this product and would 100% continue to use it!"

Tricia T. (5/5)

Hydrating, skin felt more plump and minimized and helped reduce the look of acne spots

"The gel cream is hydrating and makes your skin feel like you just put a layer of expensive cream on. It gave my skin plump and life again. I noticed a reduction of pores and any acne spots healed quicker than usual! Be sure to give yourself enough time in between products to let the gel cream sit on the skin!"

Kassandra T. (5/5)
