The scrub is packaged in a lovely white chic unisex flip top tube (makes it easy to use in the shower). The scrub is a medium texture white paste that is easy to squeeze out with no added fragrance. The scrub itself has a mild medicinal scent of the ingredients and the scrub granules are fine and gentle. My skin is fairly tough, textured and oily and I found using this every second day the most effective, although for normal/sensitive skin directions are for once to twice a week. I discovered using this on dry skin, rather than damp skin supercharged the effect of the exfoliation. This is a lovely gentle scrub that softened and brightened my skin and noticeably removed the dry skin. The scrub wasn't drying and felt quite soothing and nourishing and left my skin smooth and glowing. And although my skin is fairly tough, i do suffer break outs but I had no reaction to this scrub...except the soft glowing skin.

It’s great to see a conditioner in a smaller bottle as compared to the shampoo, as I’m always getting through the shampoo quicker than the conditioner. My review is more of a first impression as I haven’t had long to trial the product but I’ve had a promising couple uses of shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment with the conditioner probably being my favourite. I think this is partly because the conditioner gets all the glory for making my hair soft and manageable. I mentioned in my review of the shampoo and leave in treatment the scent of the products and they are all similar. The scent for me is off putting because it’s quite earthy with a hint of menthol and not the clean scent I was expecting. Being a botanical repair conditioner that was unscented I expected it to have a unique and not commercial, stereotypical scent however it was hard for me to look forward to using the conditioner. However it does do a good job and with prolonged use I’m sure I’d see an improvement and that would outweigh my issue with the experience of using the product.

The shampoo comes in a decent sized bottle and much larger than the condition which is so good to see since I’m one of these people who is always finishing the shampoo first when the bottles are the same size. I really haven’t had a chance to give this a proper trial so this is more a first impression with a couple uses under my belt. I mentioned in my review of the leave in treatment that the scent was off putting and the same scent carries across to the shampoo and conditioner. I expected a medicinal or herbal scent given it’s a botanical repair shampoo and it would be unscented however the scent is really unique and earthy with a hint of menthol. Luckily it doesn’t linger in the hair but it does make the shower and hair washing experience less enjoyable. It’s a good shampoo, cleans well and left my hair feeling fresh and I’m sure after using this longer term I’d see some good results in my hair.

I’ve only had a couple of days to trial this product so this is more of a first impressions of the leave in treatment. The bottle is a good size, however the instructions are really vague on the back with no real guide on how much you should be using. This may have affected the outcome of my use as I possibly didn’t use enough. The leave-in treatment has a nice light weight texture but I found the scent quite strong and off putting. I know it’s a botanical range and was expecting the herbal scent from an unscented product but this was quite earthy (but not in a nice way) with a hint of menthol possibly. The treatment applied well with no real greasy or sticky residue and I was happy to find that the scent didn’t linger in my hair. My hair came out soft, but still a bit frizzy despite the leave in treatment so I may need to increase the amount I use. The treatment hasn’t affected the length of time required in between washes (yay) and still feels lovely and soft. With continued use over longer period of time I believe this treatment would be beneficial to my hair.

This little pot of goodness has single handedly eliminated 50% of the bumps under my eyes. I don’t believe they are milia but blocked sebaceous glands from years of using eye creams that are too thick and heavy. This eye cream has no scent, is super light and easy to use. The texture is beautiful and I’ve been using this for about a month now as part of the trial team. The fine lines around my eyes have diminished quite noticeably and my under eye area skin texture has improved (including the reduction in the under eye bumps). I’ve been using the eye cream morning and evening and would credit the light texture and inclusion of retinol for the improvement in the under eye bumps and reduction in the fine lines. I’m expecting with continued use this will continue to improve the texture of this delicate skin and help reduce the fine lines.

Absolutely adored this moisturiser! I’m not normally a fan of the Olay moisturisers as they tend to break me out but this one performed amazingly well and no break outs. Although it comes in my least preferred type of container (tub), the stuff inside more than makes up for it. It’s a lovely lightweight texture that feels hydrating but not too heavy or suffocating. My skin is combination/oily and using this at night, I didn’t wake up with oily skin in the morning. My skin was hydrated, plump and glowing just after several days use. I’ve been using this night cream for about a month now as part of the trial team and I’ve seen definite improvement in the texture of my skin. My pigmentation is lightening and evening out and the fine lines have lessened. I’m not bothered by fragrance in my products but as this is formulated without fragrance it would appeal to many. The cream almost smells like nothing., very faint almost undetectable and unidentifiable scent of the ingredients themselves. This cream really surprised me. I love that it’s a retinol night cream and it’s working it’s magic while I sleep.

I can’t recommend this mask enough! The texture is a cooling jelly that goes on with a tingle (depending on your skin barrier and sensitivity). The mask itself comes in a screw top jar...which means fingers in the product and I’m not a huge fan of that but I’ll live with it for the results. I leave it on for a about 20mins and also use it as my gliding medium for my Nuface....bonus multitasking! My face is growing and skin is clearer. My skin afterwards for a week or so is noticeably improved. So I now use it weekly/fortnightly depending on how my skin is feeling to keep the results up.

I have used collagen supplements, so taste wise I'm familiar with what I may be getting into. Opening the screw top jar up, I was initially hopeful. Powder is a cute pinky colour and there was no strong odour, just a little grass after scent. However, once you mix this baby up, wow is the taste hard to stomach. I was lulled into a false sense of security by the smell and look of it and tried it first up without mixing it into juice or another drink. The smell and taste as I drank it was something else. But I persevered, because no pain no gain, right? After using this for over a month (longer than your 28 skin cycle), I do believe that I can see improvements in my skin texture and elasticity, enough to continue to use and put up with the taste? Probably not. But am I missing out on the long term benefits...probably. I'm sure that if you continued this long term, you would see some really great benefits. The claims that it protects against UV damage and ageing are a real hook for me....I could possibly be convinced to keep using it for those claims alone.

I use this cream whenever my skin is stressed out or I need to pare back my routine. If I've overdone the retinoids, too much acid, or microneedling. This cream is magic at repairing the compromised skin barrier to prevent bacteria getting in and causing havoc with breakouts. The cream is quite thick, white with no scent. It doesn't sting or cause a reaction to sensitized skin but does take a bit to be absorbed into the skin. I use this during the day, evening after all my actives or on its own when my skin is stressed. It really is a gentle magic balm that is suitable for all types of skin and I use it on my babies skin when it is super dry or sensitive.

I must admit that I love a good stippling brush or a beauty blender and I haven't used this type of foundation brush since my teenage years. I am fully aware that technique does have a lot to do with application and finish of a foundation but I just couldn't get this brush to work for me. When I used this brush with the Nude by Nature Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation, it turned an already sheer foundation into a non-existent one. I found it very hard to get a nice uniform and consistent blended finish with the brush whereas when I used either my stippling brush or beauty blender, I could apply a consistent level of product and blend seamlessly down onto my neck and into my skin then build in my problem areas. The brush would just move the product around. I believe that a flat top, dense brush would have been a better match for the foundation than the standard flat foundation brush they Nude by Nature have designed to be used with the foundation. If you are looking for a very sheer finish for your Luminous Sheer Foundation, then this brush would be fine, however if you want to press or buff this into your skin to get a bit more staying power and coverage then a beauty blender or flat top stippling (kabuki) would be a much better option.
